Investigating setup for a relative who has recently moved into a rental. 

 

The UFB connection is terminated at the neighbours property, not having actually seen the ONT the property manager states its... (her words)

 

"For the internet, the address is registered as The Actual Address of the main house, not the rented unit . The connection then comes off Port 2 on the ONT located in unit 2.   Chorus don't take note of the unit numbers, so just using the number of the main house and saying that its Port 2 of the ONT will work. "

 

I have changed the address to the words in bold.

 

 

 

How does this setup actually work? 

 

Two accounts with one ONT... I'm not sure about any of it.





The little things make the biggest difference.

Skinny making it difficult, not accepting a non-NZ passport or drivers license for the 12 month contract. 

 

I'd prefer not to sign a contract and have a rolling month to month service, so opted to go with Quic. 

 

Purchased a TP Link router, nothing special but more than adequate for my relatives needs. 

 

Quic signup was easy and service was activated at 6am on the date requested. All super duper!
