So, a client of ours has had their ONT PSU removed when a subtenant moved out over the weekend and they are basically being uncooperative in returning it.

I checked and Chorus said they would deliver one within 2-4 working days, which is a long time with no internet.

Is there a way to get another one, either through Chorus, or buy one from elsewhere, that will work?

We are in Auckland

@chorusnz we would be happy to pay an urgent fee for same-day delivery or come and collect it from a dispatch centre?

Cheers

If the Client has the appropriate SLA with their connection it will be delivered by Chorus within the SLA timeframe Businesses shouldn’t be buying rock bottom internet

I found Chorus pretty quick to deliver in practice, 1 or 2 days I think, or go to Jarcar to buy one in person.

I'd argue that Chorus should have a faster dispatch option for PSU's. We have had a number of these type of instances, with around 4 that have just died.

Use that at your own risk though - you're liable if the ONT is damaged.

They're sent out by overnight courier - how much quicker can it be sent?

That assumes they dispatch today and delivery occurs tomorrow with no delays.

Chorus Estimate 2-4 working days.

I have ordered a replacement one anyway, we will replace it with the proper on once it's arrived.

@networkn

We don't have a location to obtain a replacement cable in person, however we do send out new cables daily. It will be sent out the same day if the request is received before 3pm.

It is also worth mentioning that we do have a premium business service which offers guaranteed service time frames.

Cheers. ^DR
