I don't think CNU are necessarily slow at rolling out UFB or are rolling it out to the wrong suburbs. My big gripe is the lack of options to actually use it. Aside from some of the trial areas I think I live in one of the first suburbs to have UFB completed and it has been available for many months now. As yet though the two larges broadband providers are not offering plans and they tell me it is still some time away. Orcon have offered it to me but want me to sign up to a 12 month plus plan which I refuse to do until I see what prices the competition are offering.
I am desperate to get signed up and move away from the archaic speeds we currently have (which must still be lightning fast compared with most others in the country) and had I known it was going to take so long I would have signed with Ocon in the first place.
We can't call the UFB roll out a failure because of lack of uptake until Telecom and Vodafone actually start offering it.
