Kenwyn is literally right around the corner from the premises, so if there's dark in there I'm surprised nothing has showed up. I'll go back to the provider and get them to talk to Chorus (I assume that's who you meant by "Telecom"?) Thanks for this info. I didn't think it was quite the connectivity ghetto that was being portrayed, but all we were being told of was layer 2 and I really don't want to suggest to the boss that we investigate a 10Gb layer 2 connection back into the CBD ;) Cheers On 25/05/2015 10:54, Paul Adshead wrote:

Hi Matthew, there is most definitely fibre on St George's Bay Rd and Kenwyn St. I was involved with a cross-city inter-site fibre connect (via Mayoral Dr\Airedale St). Talk to Telecom.

Oh, you may want diversity if possible, as rats ate the fibre in the conduits a few months after it went in, causing an outage whilst over a hundred metres of fibre was replaced....

Cheers, Paul.

Hi all

I'm getting discouraging information on the availability of dark fibre around the bottom end of St George's Bay Rd in Parnell, near Xero and the Textile Centre. Seems that nobody has any, or at least nobody is mentioning any.

If anyone knows of dark fibre capacity in that area could they please contact me off-list.

Cheers
