FARO: How long does it take to get connected?

Once your FARO order is confirmed and accepted by the fibre provider, the connection timing depends on whether your address already has a suitable fibre terminal, also known as an ONT.

Typical timing

  • If a new ONT install or replacement is needed, allow around 1–2 weeks. In some cases it can take up to 4 weeks.
  • If a technician appointment is needed, FARO will let you know once the install date is confirmed.
  • You may need to be at the property when Chorus attends.

What you should do

  • Provide the full service address, including unit or apartment number.
  • Tell FARO your preferred start date if you need a specific timing.
  • Watch for confirmation messages about the install or switchover date.
