noticed that fibre is available at my address and I called 2degrees on Sunday afternoon to switch over from Ocron.The router arrived on Tuesday morning and at lunch time the chorus guys came and asking if I wanna connect it a same day ,then they just carried on their work and voila! 3 hours later Fibre is all up and running.SO happy with 2degrees and chorus .Just have to call and cancel my orcon now:)

Had pretty much same with BigPipe, router arrived pretty much day after I signed up, few days later Chorus were onsite and completed the install same day. Was so surprised I got caught up with my bill for previous ISP 🚱

I had a similar thing. The Chorus guy came on Saturday and installed everything. It took him two hours. Note it was an aerial drop, not underground.

Why did you change from Orcon to 2Degrees?

Yes, was an aerial drop for me too so it's pretty quick and easy job for the Chorus Tech

Why do Chorus people need to come at all?

Chorus does the physical install of fibre and copper as it is their network and their ONT.

I had an aerial drop install too. Chap turned up 5pm the day prior to ask if he could do a little work tonight as he had the time. Ran the overhead conduit into my attic and fixed everything external

Next day took an hour to run the filament down inside wall and terminated...!!!

(Sorry for those that had other experiences though)
