Hi Everyone

Firstly apologies if this topic has already been covered ... I did try search but every keyword I tried returned 100's of results 😊

Anyway I am trying to help a friend of mine who lives on a lifestyle block in Rolleston, Canterbury and is about 700 meters away from the nearest broadband to the door connection.

The enable.net website indicates that there is no fibre at that address; so tough luck, no fibre, use copper connection at 17Mbits (which quite frankly sucks).

I spoke to some Chorus guys the other day and basically they said they we are screwed as it is impossible to get broadband unless Enable run fibre to the door. 

But what about a private install ?

Is it perhaps possible to get a private install of broadband done at their own cost ?
Like I said, the nearest fibre point is only about 700m away. Also, in between that point and them, they have a few neighbours who would also want to jump on board if this possible and obviously they could all share costs.

Would appreciate if anyone knows if this at all possible and especially if anyone from Enable who is on this forum could point us in the right direction.

Cheers
