I'm moving into a house in a new subdivision in the next few weeks and I'm trying to get ahead of the wait and hopefully get fibre installed the same week we move in. The only problem is that it's a brand new house in a brand new subdivision that doesn't exist in Enable's address look up and as such, my ISP says I need to work with Enable to resolve that before they can move forward.

 

So I've been doing that and I've been given the lot number from the owner however Enable still haven't been able to locate it and are now wanting me to go grab some photos of the house and the mailbox. I'm not entirely sure how that will help them. Does anyone who may have been through this before have some details on what I should be looking to supply to them that will help?

I think you should give them the photos of your house and mailbox

Lots get renumbered and especially get new street names and numbers.

 

A picture is a lot more useful if enable's numbers are a generation or two away from the numbers you've been given.

 

For extra brownie points, get a map of the subdivision and circle your section.

Yes, I am...but it was more a question of while I'm getting photos of the house what else can I look for to help them locate it.

Enable

Some useful suggestions have been provided already - particularly a site plan from the developer or property management company, with your location marked. That will allow Enable to reconcile your actual address with the location details provided to Enable by the developer when the network was deployed.

 

I've just sent you an email now to offer my assistance with your request if still required, i'd be happy to help :) Thanks
