Hey all,

 

I live in a small town in the Coromandel called Whitianga. According to the Chorus site the Fibre Availbility date is August 2020. Does this mean when the entire planned area has it or when my actual house is likely to have it.

 

I live just down the road from the exchange building (4 Bryce Street, Whitianga) so presumabaly our street will be the first to have it installed as it's going to go everywhere from here. But what's the timeline for Fibre being laid in the street vs when it's actually available to connect to.

 

Intrestingly enough I saw this the other day but the black spool looks like copper:

 





Whitianga, Coromandel - Quic Sprinter - Ref (free setup): R893192EGADLZ

 

Smokeping: Quic / Voyager / Starlink

The Fibre availability dates on our website is a best guess based off our scheduled dates for commencement of the build work. However due to a number of reasons these are revised and do sometimes have to be changed. Also during the build unforeseen issues may come up that delays the completion.

 

 

 

@Theclaytons at the last update UFB1 was 7% ahead of schedule. This allowed us to bring the overall schedule of UFB2 forward two years to be completed by 2022. At this stage UFB2 has only just recently begun and so we don’t have any official response on how its progressing against our estimated timeframes. ^Richard
