Overview
With the number of Intact connections now exceeding installs, we want to ensure customers are having a seamless experience. Our vision is about ensuring customers who get connected at a location where fibre is already intact*, have a frictionless experience, because Chorus and their retail service providers have a truly customer focused approach – enabled by collaboration, robust processes, data and technology.
Value proposition for retail service providers
For you, this programme is about:
- Helping to decrease the cost to serve (i.e. fewer calls to seek assistance)
- Streamlining Chorus’ processes for intacts
- Introducing a single set of industry wide processes to follow
- Enabling you to better set end-customer expectations around the time to connect
- Reducing billing disputes and rework
- Helping mitigate potential brand damage
And of course, improving your customer satisfaction scores.
Principles
As a result of earlier engagement with you, we have developed some guiding design principles to inform Chorus’ approach for the future-state experience. They are intended to shape a new approach to the Intact end-to-end experience that puts empathy and the voice of the consumer at the heart of everything we do.

Current focus
Our team is currently focusing on three areas:
1. Intact journey comms & awareness
- Deliver improved intact content on Chorus website, which is aligned with our end-customer’s key communications for their intact journey
- End-customer and RSP benefits:
- Improve CX by aligning comms and expectation setting
- Reduction in missing ONT power cable delays
- Reduction in cancellations and rework.
2. Redesign Abandonments
- Redesign the process to connect new end-customers to an active ONT when moving to an address the already has an active connection
- End-customer and RSP benefits:
- Improve CX by reducing delays and cancellations, reducing effort to connect, and meeting commitments
- Reduction in cancellations, delays and rework.
3. Enhance experience based on ONT Status
- Design tailored experiences based on the status of the ONT to reduce effort and connect right first time
- End-customer and RSP benefits:
- Improve CX by meeting commitments, reducing delays, expectation setting, and reducing effort
- Reduction in missing ONT power cable delays.
*An Intact is an order for a fibre service where fibre has already been installed in the premises. This includes moving to a house where fibre was installed previously, changing the fibre set up in a house, changing RSP, making a change to an existing plan or disconnecting a fibre service.
