I am in QLD, we received an offer for FTTP for our building, 40 floors and 243 units from a company called Giggacom, currently we have Fibre to the Node goes up the building via copper.
Their offer is to install fibre up to all floors in the building, with fibre connection along the corridors (at the ceiling/wall) and a small box device at each door.
They are not charging for installation of the fibre FTTP, the installation has been approved by the building, owners do not have to connect they can choose to stay with their current provider.
They are offering competitive prices for the fibre and they also offer a very fast option at an higher monthly cost.
Not installed in our building yet, maybe check with them and see if they offer in your area.
I saw your column in the Financial Review, i read every day, a source of informative diverse subjects !.
with reference to the Management Rights situation, you are so right !!
However it is up to the State Government to make the changes to stop Developers selling an agreement that the Owners cannot change, except within the first 3 years (limited) which no-one advises the Owners.
The only opportunity after that is when an extension is requested maybe a chance to bargain. With Standard 10 year agreements that had some chance. However NO Developer these days sells a 10 year standard (residential !) agreement regardless of occupancy. They all sell the 25 year “accommodation’ agreement, which severely limits the chance of negotiating any adjustment.
Look forward to you providing help to us in Queensland with our different laws.
