We have just purchased a house in Churton Park and moved in over the weekend. Prior to moving in, I scheduled an UFB installation for the Monday just gone well in advance and was told Chorus would scope out the neighbourhood prior. I stayed home on the installation Monday and to my excitement 3 Chorus vans pulled up at around 9am with 3 workers eager to get started. However, after about 5 minutes they knocked on the door and said there was some bad news. As my section had been subdivided, the green fibre box was located at the end of the driveway on the wrong side - they would need to dig up my or the neighbours driveway to get it into the house! They came up with a plan to intercept the fibre running along the front of my house but would require escalation to the 'build team'.
Anyway, nothing has happened since then - only 2 days I know, but when i say nothing I mean nothing - no update, no contact. Not to sound like a whining teenager, but I do a lot of freelance work in the evenings and my partner works a lot from home as well and having no internet for even 3 days is painful! Just curious to hear if any one else has been in a similar situation? I wonder if its worth getting ADSL on in the interim? How long does it typically take to get an DSL connection put in these days?
