If Chorus are that threatened by Sparks fixed wireless then they should dam well do something about the balls up that is UFB installs. Specifically the ridiculous consents process but also actually paying a decent rate to contractors so that they actually get techs that know what they are doing. I see no reason why every UFB job (exclusing LARGE mdu, and im talking maybe the 20+ tenant ones) can't be done in a week. It's ridiculous that a scope visit is taking a month to get booked, and then the scoper who turns up has to refer to his manager blah blah blah. Sort it out and maybe Spark might throw more orders your way!
