Understanding the installation process
We aim to install fibre in a like for like way, which means we'll copy how your current connection was installed. But where this is not possible, we may use any one of the methods outlined in the video. Your Chorus technician will always recommend what would work best for your property.
Take your wifi to the next level
Even with great broadband like fibre, you can run into problems if your broadband equipment isn't set up correctly. Find out how to get the best out of your fibre connection.

Wanting to add an additional fibre connection to your property?
In order to complete this request please contact your selected retail service provider. As a wholesaler, Chorus cannot coordinate additional fibre connection requests.

What is an Optical Network terminal (ONT)?
It will be somewhere discreet in your house, often in your living area or office. This device will connect directly to your modem once you’ve activated your fibre connection with your chosen broadband provider.
Can’t find your ONT? Book a call with one of our team.
What happens if fibre’s already installed?
If fibre has already been installed at your property, provided your equipment is in working order, it's super easy to activate your fibre connection with a fibre plan. Watch the video to find out how you know fibre's been installed at your property and the steps to take to get it working.
How to activate your fibre connection with a plan
If you already have a preferred broadband provider, simply give them a call, let them know fibre has been installed at your place and you’d now like to activate your connection with a fibre broadband plan.
