A group of Christchurch residents 350m beyond the edge of the city s fibre broadband network face a costly bill to get connected.
Residents in a hilltop Christchurch suburb are angry they have to pay thousands of dollars to get fibre broadband installed when homes 350 metres away get it for free. Thirty-six households at the top of Huntsbury Ave have been told by Christchurch City Council-owned network provider Enable they will have to collectively pay $36,000, plus GST of $5400, for fibre outside their homes. Residents believe it is unfair they have to pay while the rest of Christchurch have had fibre installed to their gate for free.

The Port Hills fire of February 2017. Council should instal CCTV cameras on Port Hil;ls accce4ss roads to track suspicious vehicles, argues Mike Yardley.
OPINION: As a hill-dweller in Huntsbury, memories of the devastating 2017 Port Hills fires still run raw. Like most hill residents, the reports of a spate of suspicious fires being lit last Wednesday fast rekindled that shared sense of dread, fear and “not again”. Saturday morning’s dramatic scrub fire on Hillsborough has only compounded the heightened sense of unease. Fire and Emergency New Zealand (Fenz) got a spectacularly lucky break that Friday’s howling westerlies weren’t ripping through the early hours of Saturday. Bravo to Fenz for knocking out that fire so effectively, without the loss of any homes.
