kornflake: have you looked into a provider like slingshot/orcon/compass that may have their own MSAN in your local exchange?
Zeon: Some parts of Churton park DO NOT HAVE DSL or ANY copper services - you have to use fibre. THis is only the newer subdivision part though.
petercad: There is the little green fibre box at the footpath though.
johnr:mattwnz:petercad: Hi all,
Anyone know how, in this day and age, there can be the high possibility of not being able to get Broadband connected to a House we are going to rent in Churton Park, Wellington?
Have phoned Vodafone, who guaranteed that we could, then 3hrs later said that there'd be no chance
We nee broadband for a Home Office situation, so will potentially be renting a great house with no internet
Anyone know of any other providers other than the main ones that can provide services?
Cheers!
What's their reasoning. I would suggest contacting telecom, as their support these days is really good and their pricing too is now one of the lowest.
If Vodafone can't provide a ADSL port then no provider can! This must of been covered so many times on Geekzone, No ISP can que jump this is all regulated if the Chorus tech finds a port free then it has to be allocated to the next person on the list no matter what ISP they are with,
If you get the port and others are on the waiting list then questions will be asked and someone will be answering to the MED or Comcom
petercad: Also, we will only be renting the property, so won't be able to make any changes (such as fibre to the house) without the landlords consent, and being a landlord of 2 properties myself, I wouldn't consent to it if it was my place.
petercad:
Fibre is out of the price range as far as I can see, looking to spend $80-90 per month and want 50Gb if possible.

Actually they initially didn't say it was an ADSL connection they were trying to connect to, nor the reason for not being able to connect it! There are several internet options in Wellington, including fibre, telstras fibre, ADSL, and 3G, hence if one provider who only provides limited services can't help, another should be able to give options. Also not sure if Woosh still have their wireless network operating still in Wellington suburbs. If it is due to no room with ADSL, they can go to telstra for a fibre cable connection as that area could be covered, or possibly the new national fibre network if available. Alternatively they could get a 3G connection with telecom, but probably not the most affordable option.

3G not applicable due to excessive cost.
