Good topic Barry!
Keen to see reply's around the Chorus position that this is FACT
and it is happening or its in discussion, as we understand it,
seems to be fact and prices change from 1st December?
We got the notice via the informer dialogue 1st October 2014.
Account manager said it's confirmed to be happening.
We were about to do a price change and notification to all
wholesalers and customers for the 1st of December.
The changes are massive overall, billing changes needing to be
done, all customers with clothed need to be made aware of there
new options etc etc, overall were very shocked when we read the
dialogue.
Following the conversation on GZ, we see Slingshot was putting out
notices already

Hey guys,
What are other telcos opinions on the proposed chorus price
changes that are to take effect on 1st December 2014?
Reduction of naked services and increased of clothed services
on UBA, yet none of the pricing is ‘confirmed’ and nor is the
POTS reduction pricing.
How can the commerce commission or Telecommunications
minister allow for something so big to happen so close to a
brown out date and with such short notice.
It’s now the 6th of November and with the proposed changes
happening in about 24 days surely it’s against their T&C’s
to give such short notice.
We have been provided with ‘draft’ but that is just not good
enough to give to downstream customers and wholesalers,
questions we ask go unanswered meaning we can’t advise customers
of pricing before its out of draft.
We had a meeting booked in with Chorus ‘Billing resource’ to
explain the changes, yet this has just been cancelled because
things are not yet confirmed internally.
My account manager just called me while I was typing this
email and said “they still haven’t confirmed things internally
as they don’t know how they are to implement things into their
systems”.
He also advises we are the first customer in the queue to
have a billing resource meting to discuss the changes. I then
proceeded to ask about the pricing of ADSL install +-$270 vs
VDSL install +-$170 and he is even unsure.
Just wondering how well or badly other Telcos in the same
position are taking this.
Cheers
