It could be the worst bit of Chorus cabling since the infamous "fibre to the throne" UFB install that saw fibre brought into a home beside a toilet, or last year's ceiling monorail gaffe.
Geekzone member James Anderson-Pole was walking through Mangere when he saw three UFB fibre cables that emerged from the earth, snaked across a stretch of footpath, then descended underground again before emerging on the street.
He followed the cables as they dangled along the gutter for some 75 metres. Two of them terminated into the grass near an old Telecom pit, while the third just hung loose on the turf.
