The detailed Enable rollout plans are done for 12 months at a time, for the period ending in June. *RSPs will**hear in May about June 2015 to June 2016**.* The UFB rollout is supposed to be completed in Christchurch by 2018. The timeline is odd too... Seeing the chaps making holes and thrust-boring the big red pipes in shows that you'll have service available within a year, and possibly as soon as 3 months from when they've finished. The lag is allowing Enable to set up the kit in the cabinets that feed each footprint (anything up to a dozen big blowtubes per cabinet, which is 22 or 25 properties per big blowtube.) When you get an install booked via an RSP (Residential Service Provider - that's the name for an ISP delivering fibre access), only then do they install blowtube to a termination box on the outside of your house, and connect that lead-in to your house's blowtube back to the cabinet. Then either one or two fibres is "blown" through to your external termination box. >From there they run thin black fibre through the underfloor or ceiling space to wherever you have specified the ONT to be installed. The default location is "behind the TV" but that's up for discussion with the homeowner / occupant. Personally mine's going in my garage with the firewalls, if EQC ever decide we're a rebuild or a repair. Any questions please ask. -- CF
