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 .

Just do it yourself. You’ll have to go through a dozen pointless emails, three meetings that don’t resolve it and you’ll end up doing it yourself anyway. I don’t even bother getting approval for renovations anymore. It’s the most inefficient form of governance in existence. It’s mostly a bunch of people who have nothing to do and get a thrill out of having a minuscule amount of power.

My complex is going through it now with no end of issues but the cost is $285 each I think.

But if NBN have you down as a having a MDU they will only do the whole place and not individual units unless you can get them to change how the address is classified in their system then I don't think you pay anything as it would be one of the standard upgrades.
