Hey,

while browsing trademe i see someone trying to sell an ONT.. i thought that these cant be sold and are property of Chorus?

Anyways i had reported it to trademe but they seem to think its legit...

Thanks team - I have also reported this to Trademe and signed it off with my title and contact details (and I asked TM to contact me). It remains to be seen if Trademe will actually do anything.

We do see this from time to time. I am interested to know what "different model" they are currently operating with - unless an ONT is programmed at our end, it won't work. I suspect they may be using DSL or fixed wireless and the fibre at the property is currently unused.

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