sbiddle: It's not so much a matter of converting it, it's a matter of building a duplicate network as the architecture is completely different.
As for the "expensive" price, it's because the service is a dedicated CIR. The same equivalent service over UFB in a UFB area will cost exactly the same price as a Chorus P2P connection costs at present as Chorus dropped their pricing in August 2011 to match UFB. P2P offerings are also available in GPON areas for those people who want dedicated CIR's in excess of 100Mbps.
If you want a lower quality product, ie a lower grade UFB GPON plan, you will have to wait until the UFB GPON network is built, either by Chorus, or the LFC in your area.
InstallerUFB: the so called 'conventional' fibre dosent need to be converted - it can be used to provide gpon services now (providing GPON services are available from the exchanges that the fibre is connected through) in the same way some schools are being connected now to UFB/GPON, when there is no ufb network at present being built near them, by extending fixed fibre and using optical splitters fitted onto the exch OFDF

So does this mean I can request GPON services in a P2P area?

As far as im aware Yes - provideing a: There is an existing chorus fibre connection, b: Gpon services are available from the local exchange and c: and as always your ISP/RSP is providing connections from that exchange
I should have added that distance from the exchange is also critrical ( the connection at this stage must be within the business fibre zones as shown on the chorus network upgrade map - http://www.chorus.co.nz/network-upgrade-map

OK cool, I'm in the Business Fibre zone on the map. How do I start the process?

networkn: Yah I am really keen to know this as well.

DarkShadow: On the new Chorus map the "Business Fibre" areas are now also labelled with "UFB before Jun 15". I guess that's our answer.
