Aotearoa Daily Kōrero 7/8/2023
Welcome to today's daily kōrero!
Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there's no daily thread, feel free to create it! Anyway,
it's just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.
So how's it going?
You're viewing a single thread.
Man, it's been a pretty hectic week with moving and all that. A few parts of the body that are aching a bit 😂
Still haven't got Fibre internet (even though we started the process about 6 Weeks ago. The Chorus Techs came on site to do their initial scoping, and said they don't do Shared Driveways (even though we outlined everything in the application) 🤷♂️. Been a whole lot of no communication since then.
Dude sorting out shared driveway BS ended up taking almost 2 years for us.
In the end, I don't think it was even necessary, like they changed the law so that this is no longer an issue. Don't quote me on that.
I printed out a bunch of permission forms and went and talked to all the neighbours and got consent.
Then it was only a matter of more waiting.
Oh don't do that.... You're not giving me hope haha.
It's weird. We had got all the comms saying that the consent process was underway, and then got comms saying it was all finalized and good to go, and then their contractors come around and say that.
Currently on 4G Wireless Broadband as an interim, but it's a bit of a struggle haha
Oh man, I've been visiting my parents who have 4G broadband. That shit should be illegal, I remember dial-up being more stable than that crap.
The best part is, they say the copper lines no longer available here either. Literally no other option :(
I really hate how we're all being railroaded off copper. I'm old fashioned, I like my landline to sound all warm and analogue.
We had the same, contacting 2 others on the drive to get their agreement. Luckily had it done back in 2019 when the initial big push to get it all installed was happening.
