I've been watching the fibre rollout maps for indication when fibre is coming to my street, looks like Jan '18.

I live at the semi rural gravel end of what is otherwise a normal suburban street, with another 5 or so properties around. As soon as the houses get further apart, it appears that fibre will not be available.

The galling part about this is that the copper is not in the best shape, it says VDSL available but when I got that installed it was actually down 12 out of 24 hours every day, only up from 4:00 am to 4:00 pm.

I cant see that they will fix the copper when it finally fails.

I'd be happy to make a contribution to get fibre but Chorus help desk just don't want to know.

any suggestions?
