Chorus' availability tool has been showing fibre would be available in my street March 2019 for the last few years. The street install started in October last year and was wrapped up by early December. Haven't heard anything since then (still no email or flyer in my letterbox) but I've been checking the Chorus tool every few days to see when the fibre would light up.

On Monday the Chorus checker changed. It no longer reported fibre was coming in March 2019, but it doesn't say it's available either. It now simply says VDSL is the best available connection at our address, and fibre is grayed out. I assumed this was just a transitional stage that would be replaced with confirmed availability in the next day or two, but it's now Friday and the page hasn't changed. I checked the Chorus broadband map and it does show UFB in my street.

I've gone through a few ISP availability checkers and most of them (Spark, 2degrees, Vodafone, Voyager, Slingshot, Orcon, etc.) will allow me to sign up for UFB. However Skinny (my actual ISP) and Bigpipe report no fibre availability.

Would anyone with access to the Chorus system mind having a quick look at my address for me, and let me know whether it is worth contacting Skinny now? I'm sure this will all get sorted out by itself in time but after waiting five years for fibre you could say I'm a little impatient...
