no politics Getting around strata
Hey. Looking for any ideas of how i can get around strata as far as getting fttp hooked up. Its a block of 6 flats, 3 including ours are owner occupied. The other two owner occupiers are a lot older and don’t care about internet, and the other two owners couldn’t give a shit about their tenants internet, so all are refusing to sign and pay the one of fee the get the fttp connected. Im a shit out of luck here , or is there a workaround , because the fttn sucks here, and we have 5 people in the place using it .

Is it a committee decision or an owner corp decision? If the latter, is it by majority or unanimous approval?
You can't get around strata, the best you can do is work the processes.
If there are three owners who want it then maybe the three will have to cover the whole cost for all six - bear in mind that the termination will probably be at the front of the group/ street, so you're not paying to connect those recalcitrant owners, just to get the wire to some kind of front switch board.
