Knock knock... no not a joke but a Chorus rep. OK maybe a joke. 

This was some weeks ago and the spiel from the door to door salesman went like this...

Chorus is offering to run fibre from the edge of your section to your house. It won't disrupt your current internet connection, but you will be able to connect to UFB when ever you want and there is no cost.

Cool I said, sounds like a good idea. I haven't had UFB installed as the house isn't networked yet, I haven't decided where I want the network cabinet and I will need to complete that before anything is installed in the house.

Rep said that wouldn't be a problem.

Turns out it was.

Installers turn up today. I pointed out where the current copper entered the house and where I thought the conduit ran. I was then asked where I wanted the modem in the house.

Installers drove off.

Woman from Chorus HQ rang an hour later to inform me that the installation had been cancelled at my request. I said I'd figured that out when the installers drove off, though they didn't actually tell me that. I also pointed out the above to her but she was completely disinterested.

Wasted afternoon

LOL@Chorus.
