After what has been months of talking and waiting it seems that finally my UFB install is happening. Came home yesterday to see a new bunch of cables poking out of the ground on what Chorus decided was a shared driveway.

I say decided as we own half the driveway, but due to where they wanted to run the fibre, I was required to get consent from the neighbours before they would start. Everything started out fine with their contractor sending letters to all the houses, but as four of the six are rentals things came to a screaming holt. So I had to start the process myself. Thankfully all the tenants where forthcoming with the owners/rental agents details. After struggling to contact some of the owners I was then told by Chorus that consent from the rental agent was enough. Umm thanks for that, but why wasn't I told that at the beginning of the process. Would have made things much easier!

Anyway I am now into month four and finally some action is happening.

While Snap haven't ever actually contacted me in regards to what is happening they have responded to my many emails and phone calls quickly. I know that this isn't any of their doing but would feel some followup on their side would have been nice.

So hopefully (Fingers crossed) in the next week or so I should finally be able to sit down and not have the kids and other half bitching about the interweb running slow, while they are all watching Netflix/Youtube/Facebooking!!!
