Dunedinites are fuming over the shoddy workmanship done by those installing fibre in their homes. Many are unimpressed with the way the installation process has gone, while others have tales of damage to their homes and yards. The complaints are not just being seen in Dunedin, similar stories have come out throughout the country during the roll out of fibre broadband. We ask technology commentator Ben Gracewood why such a high-tech internet system has such real-life installation problems.
