I am very confused about how to tell whether new subdivisions that have fibre services are going to become part of the UFB or whether they will remain their own little 'fibre island' with one ISP (i.e. WorldXChange) providing service to them.
For example, we are looking at a subdivision in Kaiapoi, just north of Christchurch. It is fibre-fed and seviced (like all fibre subdivisions) by WorldXChange. How do I know whether it will eventually be connected to the UFB and be able to connect to other ISPs?
I know that Kaiapoi is not one of the areas commited to the UFB by the govt - does this automatically exclude it from being part of the UFB or is it more likely that this particular subdivision will be part of it, but it just won't be rolled out to the rest of the town?
I would contact the developer but I don't have much faith that they'll even understand what the UFB is let alone give me the right answer.
Who can help?
Cheers
Steve
