CNU - Chorus

Didn't think much of Spark a month or so ago they rang to ask if I wanted a better internet connection and I could keep my number but it would be attached to a mobile number or something of the sort. Part way through the conversation I realized they were selling me a deal to use their wireless network and ditch the copper. Once I worked that out I told them to f**k off and stop wasting my time but I would imagine plenty of people wouldn't have a clue what was really being offered. Chorus could lose a lot of business from rural folk switching to Sparks wireless network. The sales person just said I would get more data and the internet would work better, I only twigged what was being offered because I took an interest in chorus a while back. It doesn't worry me too much as I didn't invest in chorus but it upset me that the marketing for the switch to wireless is sort of deceptive from Spark. I am sick of b*lls**t and deception fobbed off as clever marketing trying to confuse people to sell **** is a sad state of affairs.

Chorus is a bit slow in my opinion.

I still reckon most people would not know the difference between fibre and a wireless network. I wonder if Chorus hands are tied by their monopoly status and legislation or if chorus management thinks they can just roll out fibre and wait for the profits to roll in while they sit around with their finger up their date. Wireless is competing with copper and fibre if Chorus has a better product they need to tell the masses and ensure Spark doesn't continue to profit from peoples ignorance.

It seems we are getting more excited about CNU this side of the Tasman than you all seem to be.

Maybe you guys get excited about watching paint dry more than us, stock is basically no growth on a massive PE and average divvy yield.

Does anyone know how many copper connections Chorus has in Northpower, Ultrafast and Enable areas?

In theory if everyone switches to fibre they will lose all these copper connections.

I guess we have been seeing some of this over the last couple of years as well as the snakes from Spark switching people to their wireless network.

Background with NBN (what a cluster**** that is) doesn't bode well, but hard to read much more in to it at this stage. Interesting to see if the shares bounce a little.

Still some love for Chorus over the Tasman.

And here in Wellington, NZ. Well played Chorus.

Lol, punters buying this must be eating magic mushrooms or something similar, the PE ratio looks absurd unless they are selling A2 milk as a sideline.

I read it too but couldnt find any other research agreeing with it and moved on. Win some lose some.
