Fibre - Ashhurst-Bunnythorpe Road
Hi, for well over 5 years Ashhurst Road has had Fibre running all the way down it (connect Bunnythorpe, Hiwinui schools etc). For a long time I have been awaiting the Chorus or ISP websites to update and say its available - still nothing. So I contacted Chorus and to my delight they said yes its available, but its not part of the current UFB rollout - so you need to contact your ISP and log an NGA application (you or your ISP may have to pay some of the install). So I contacted Vodafone (don't go there it took weeks!) last night I got he quote from Chorus - note no one came to my property. Its approx 10 metres from my front lawn (where the fibre lays) and my house. Chorus Estimate was $19,545. Amazes me the Government claim they want all rural NZ on reliable fast Fibre yet - they don't make it easy - even more so when FIbre is running down our road. I have tried ADSL - which was slow and unreliable - I now have Rural 4G which is OK but expensive. I am calling people on the road - have they had similar experiences? Do you know Fibre is available? IF we all rally - we could get a better price? Thank you.
Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
