They don't allow their sale. Plus once removed, they're only good as door stoppers as they can't be used at a different address than the one they were assigned to.

it is on the back and next to the chorus logo it says do not remove (2nd) photo - haveing a closer look @ the photos - the transporting capping plug is still in the optical port - so I suspect that it has never been installed ( the provisioning tech would remove and take it away on install)

Stolen or rubbish

maybe someone from Chorus needs to send Turners a friendly email (erin.askin@turners.co.nz)

looks like I was too slow with my reply......

Try hooking two ONTs together in series. Works a treat and gives ya interwebz*2.

These pop up every so often, think it comes.from liquidation sales where the liquidator doesnt spend time working out what actually belongs to the company and just sells the lot to turners

I emailed them a couple of time to say the units actually belongs to enable/chorus but they aren't interested

I like how tuners zoomed in on the sticker that says "DO NOT REMOVE FROM THIS PROPERTY"
