Things got interesting around here late last year when I first saw a nice big spool of green ducting on the back of a truck. Since then, three "zones" on the Chorus map had turned dark blue, with many others seemingly close to going live.

Two of those zones, including my workplace, were marked as "by Aug 2013", with another one "by Sep". There were some others labelled Oct, Dec, and Feb 14. But on the 3rd of September, all of those zones were suddenly changed to "by May 2014". Since then, I haven't seen a single Chorus or HFS truck around the place. There is definitely ducting in the ground, both around my work and in other parts of town, but there's nothing indicated on the map.

Does anyone know what's happened here? Has something similar happened in any other areas? Might other zones be pushed back? My house is still showing the same date range that it always has (between Jul 14 and Jun 15) but I'm worried that it might get pushed further back :(

Well, this is typical. In the half a day since making that post I have seen two Chorus vans, one HFS truck, one spool of green conduit and several places that look suspiciously like Chorus digsites. My timing is impeccable!

They must have read your post and turned the vans back around :-)

The map has been updated in the past couple of days; it is now showing five areas as completed (instead of three) so it looks like things are back on track again :)
