I urgently (i.e. today) need a Fibre connection setup at a residential property in Auckland. I have the ONT, all the necessary hardware and at least an average level of technical competence: I just need an ISP willing/able to go above the normal call of duty. Does anyone have any experience with getting an ISP to prioritise your activation? Any suggestions are welcomed; I’ll venture with any provider on any plan.

I know the website doesn't mention ISP services, it's a new area, updated site coming early next year :)

I’ve used prodigi’s services for over a year now an can vouch that Dan and his team are great. Doesn’t surprise me how quick this was turned around. Every interaction I’ve had with them has been actioned in less than 30 mins - everything has a personal touch feel to it. Cheers Dan :)

Interesting.

 

What are the chances of doing the same magic trick on the 29th or 30th of December (or even today if that's remotely possible)?

Won't know until I place the order but I see no reason why it couldn't happen today.

Most small regional ISPs can do this with Chorus if the ONT is installed and been previously connected.

I'm sure they can, just not sure they're always able to do so (based on past experience).
