Can someone from Chorus please explain this madness...

 

My ISP say their hands are tied and they can't escalate the issue with Chorus further. The previous tenant has not cancelled their UFB connection with their ISP and my ISP cannot connect us until their connection is cancelled. My ISP has managed to set me up a temp connection on Port 2 of the ONT but on a low speed plan.

 

I managed to get in contact with the previous tenant, and they were subject to a 30 day notice before their provider will disconnect their connection which is causing delays for my connection.

 

I have offered proof to my ISP that I am the legal occupier of the property, and according to them Chorus won't accept this sort of evidence.

 

Can someone from Chorus please help or at least explain, surely in these cases as long as a tenant/home owner can provide evidence that they are the new occupiers of the property they can get the previous occupiers connection disconnected.

The OP was connected on Port 1 this morning following the completion of the other RSP's disconnect order. For the record, the incoming order for the OP was submitted to Chorus on 04/02, and the outgoing RSP had 5 days from that date to either accept or reject the abandonment request. They did not respond (as far as I can tell) so their connection was automatically terminated late yesterday at the end of the 5 day notice period, allowing us to connect the OP this morning.

 

I have contacted the OP's provider advising them they can now terminate the temporary connection on Port 2 - no longer required.

 

The 5 day wait period is set by the Telecommunications Forum and as such, it cannot be circumvented by Chorus unless by agreement with the outgoing provider. In this case I can't say whether that agreement was sought or not as I don't have that information to hand.





The views expressed by me are not necessarily those of my employer Chorus NZ Ltd
