[nznog] UFB handover diversity (was Re: Whose residential UFB in Whanganui has diverse backhaul?)

This isn’t the place for home Internet questions, you might want to try geek zone, but; - Last I heard, Chorus weren’t doing diverse handovers for UFB services, but that it was being tested or something. I don’t know if anyone has implemented it if it has been tested. Perhaps we can bring this back in to the realm of network operators by asking if anyone knows about this? - Get a second UFB connection with a different ISP. -- Nathan Ward

Hi

I've had UFB at home for two years now. I'm on to my second ISP. ISP #1 had an 8 hour outage for all their Whanganui UFB customers due to fault in their backhaul. ISP #2 had a 20 hour outage last month for all their Whanganui UFB customers due to a fault in their backhaul (they say Chorus) between here and Palmerston North.

Who provides residential UFB in Whanganui that won't be brought down by a single backhaul fibre fault? I realise I'm getting a residential service with essentially no SLA, and that the fibre between me and the interconnect point is a single point of failure.

I'm happy to take off list answers and won't post your answers publicly unless you particularly want me to.

Regards

Donald Gordon
