Can you get the Chorus NOA quote from multiple ISPs?

 

The margins (if any) that ISPs add may be different so the 'Chorus quote' received from different ISP may vary.

 

Happy to pay the ISP a fee for getting the quote as I there is work involved for the ISP but just want to shop around.

 

 

 

Many Thanks

It's not really feasible to get quotes from multiple RSPs for one simple reason - each RSP has to actually place an order to receive the firm quote from Chorus. This means you'd have to get RSP A to place an order, wait for the quote to come through, then instruct RSP A to decline the quote and cancel the order, before you can contact RSP B and ask them to place another order to receive the firm quote again - before comparing the two. And to be fair they could both have added a differing margin so you'd still not be 100% sure what the base price from Chorus is. Time consuming and frustrating for all really.

 

You are far better just to contact a few RSPs and ask them straight up if they add a margin on NOA orders, and then go with whichever one answers in the negative.

 

There are a few that I can think of who don't add a margin, but it's not my place to divulge that info given my position as 1) it's potentially commercially sensitive to those RSPs, and 2) it wouldn't be fair unless I was to state the policy of every RSP that offers NOA - and that sounds like a lot of work to collate....

 

I agree with @atomeara - sometimes the initial estimate can differ significantly from the firm quote amount.
