Hi,

 

I requested switching from existing 1gbps to 2gbps hyperfibre from 2degrees

 

I received a call from Chorus and they said they will be installing fibre on coming thursday and also mentioned whether I have a consent for possible drilling. So I am approaching my rental manager and just thinking if any damaging drilling is required to replace the older unit? How was your experience in replacing older Chorus box ? Did they leave any holes on the wall?

 

Thank you

Simple question is why are you upgrading to Hyperfibre? It appears your setup is pretty basic so I don’t think you’re even utilising that. It won’t reduce latency if you’re a gamer, it won’t increase WiFi speed and unless if you’ve got devices with 2.5Gbit Ethernet you’re not going to see any improvement - you’ll just spend more money for the same.

 

They shouldn’t need to drill any holes but they do install a far bigger ONT in place of that smaller ONT that isn’t wall mounted.
