Local Fibre Carriers (aka LFC’s)New Zealand currently has four Local Fibre Carriers (fibre network providers)
Getting UFB InstalledNow is a good time to get UFB installed to your home! In November 2012, the government announced a deal with UFB partners Chorus, Enable and Northpower to provide free “standard” residential connections for distances up to 200 metres per house from the road, with enough funding to last until the end of 2016. UFB partner Ultra-Fast Fibre, which operates in the central North Island, is providing free residential “standard” connections until 2019. The government intention is to continue to work towards residential connections being free with the other UFB partners until the end of 2019, when the network build finishes. Standard Installations The standard fibre install includes delivering the fibre from the street to your home (up to 200 metres), installing the Optical Network Terminal (ONT) and the connecting of your router (if present at the time of installation). If your fibre connection is deemed non-standard, full details of any additional work required to connect your home will be discussed with you during the scoping phase. You can choose whether to proceed and pay these additional costs. If you do not accept these additional costs you may cancel your order at that point. Property Types Properties fall into three main categories:
Single Dwelling Unit (SDU) InstallationsSingle Dwelling properties don’t share ownership of the property therefore don’t usually require consent from other parties. Supplying to a single dwelling on the property means that the build work is much less complex than that required for ROW or MDU properties. Basic overview of what’s involved for an SDU installation:
An ETP (external termination point) and an ONT (optical network terminal).
Right of Way (ROW) & Multi Dwelling Units (MDU) Installations
Multi-tenanted/Apartment buildings (MDU’s), Right of way/shared driveways or cross lease homes involve the additional step of obtaining neighbour Consent, and often have more complex network build requirements. Basic overview of what’s involved for an ROW/MDU installation:
