| 1392392 | 2015-01-20 06:41:00 | Thought I posted this earlier today but seemed to either have disappeared or I never actually clicked submit to post it! Chorus says UFB is available at a property I am looking at renting - and am stoked so thought I'll check out prices - yet all the major ISPs say its not available? such as Slingshot, Snap, Telecom. MyRepublic says that its a non-ufb registered property? what does that mean? Is there a reason why it would not be available when it actually is? Am wondering if I'm missing a trick to actually get UFB? Any tips? |

| 1392395 | 2015-01-20 09:07:00 | Try your address in one of these ufb.org.nz Depending on the Area sometimes it takes a while for availability to filter down to the ISPs. Chorus are building the network in some areas so they sometimes know first. Be careful though, they may have just got it wrong. It can be a bit arbitrary, my sister lives in a street just outside the edge of UFB coverage and can't even get VDSL while all around nearby streets everyone else can. |

I've even had some down shared driveways take ~7 months too :'( It's always Chorus who slow things down. That, or homeowner consent. |
