Hey,

while browsing trademe i see someone trying to sell an ONT.. i thought that these cant be sold and are property of Chorus?

https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/marketplace/computers/networking-modems/wireless-networking/routers/listing/3158113173?bof=kx0LLC8g

Anyways i had reported it to trademe but they seem to think its legit...

“There are 2 unanswered questions on this listing”
Let me guess...

I have reported it twice to trademe because the ONT is Chorus's Property and shouldn't be sold..

Just posed a 'question' that said "I'm sure Chorus would love to have their property back... ".

If reporting fails on Trademe, then spam the listing questions with the truth.

This is my question "This is Chorus's property and should be handed back to Chorus, it either stays with the house or gets returned."

lol im sure that im in the right.....

Thanks team - I have also reported this to Trademe and signed it off with my title and contact details (and I asked TM to contact me). It remains to be seen if Trademe will actually do anything.

We do see this from time to time. I am interested to know what "different model" they are currently operating with - unless an ONT is programmed at our end, it won't work. I suspect they may be using DSL or fixed wireless and the fibre at the property is currently unused.

Yeah I think 'different model' is prob fixed wireless.
I keep a close eye on what devices are connected to the network :)

I've reported it in the past.... have done again.
