事情是这样的，去年12月家里推到就围墙，用砖砌了新围墙。砖工在做地基的时候不小心把邻居家的网线铲断了。（周四断的，周一我才知道邻居家断网了。我的邻居也很能忍啊！）周二chorus来人修理。当时我也在家，“监工”砌墙师傅.chorus的人挖开以后就跟我说线埋的太浅了。让我拍照，为以后免账单做准备。
我也去chorus网站查了下，网线的确需要埋在离地面45公分的地方。自己也就淡定了，一直等啊等，chorus一直没来账单。我以为只是就这么过去了，毕竟他们员工自己也会写报告，说明线埋得浅吧。不过账单还是来了，一共494.21刀。好吧，那就把他们chorus的规定发给他们自己看下吧。附上原邮件(
Hi,there.my name is XXXXXX.my customer No.123456, I have recieved a invoice last week, required to pay for repairing 231A internet cable . On that day the brick layer need install a footing for the brick fence. They dogged hole，but The depth is less than15cm. we don't know the cable was cut until chorus came.
The staffs from chorus found the broken cable ,they also believed it is too shallow.I took some photos to prove it.you can use the wood with letter R to ensure the ground surface，half part is wet and half is dry.
In addition there are 5 cables ，only one was cut which is shallower than others. so I can say there were 5 house lost internet signal if the brick layer dogged a hole deeper than 20cm.
经过漫长等待chorus 回信让我失望了
Our specialist came back to us and said that for copper depth is irrelevant. Have you acquired a cable locate? If you have not acquired this and a cable is damaged you would be held liable unless you can speak to your contractor and advise them to make the payment. 好吧，本着大不了去DT的决心。跟垄断集团撕一回。
I cant agree what the specialist said.In the chorus web, I found this - Trench depth should be 450mm below finished ground level. Where the lead-in will be under permanent material (e.g. concrete driveway) the depth can be reduced to 300mm.
If I dig a deep hole, like 300mm depth.I will call chorus.
On that day my bricklayer just need install a footing,the hole is less than 100mm,so I am sure he didn't dig deeper than 150mm hole at all.If everyone digs hole at home,everyone makes a phonecall to chorus,checking the cable location,how many staffs does the chorus have to hire?the amount chorus has now? I don't think so.
My bricklayer cut my neighbor's cable ,it is anaccident.no one hopes it is happened.If the guy who layed the cable underground did good job.this accident will be never happened.
In conclusion,If chorus still wants me to pay for the bill,I can't pay for other people mistake.I mean layed the cable guy's mistake.chorus can sue me to dispute tribunal.I am happy to reach an agreement with the justice.
Thank you for your time to read it.
Hopefully my bill will be canceled .
没过几天chorus回信说让我只付250就行。回信如下：
Please be advised the OSH guidelines.http://www.business.govt.nz/worksafe/information-guidance/all-guidance-items/underground-services-guide-for-safety-with/underground.pdf A1.7Underground cables are normally laid in trenches between 300 mm and 1.0 m deep, but these levels may change over time through the activities of roading authorities or land owners, lessening the depth of cover. Therefore, cables should be expected to be found atANY DEPTH. This should always be borne in mind, particularly if the ground has been disturbed or if there are basements or structures such as large waste water services or bridges in the area which may have prevented cables being laid at standard depths. Even shallow excavations (e.g. for post holding and fencing work) may be hazardous. In the future you would need to get a cable locate.As a one off offer of good will, since you have never been charged for any damage to the Chorus network, we offer to accept $250 as the full and final settlement amount. Upon receipt of your payment we will credit off the remaining balance. Please make sure to quote your Chorus account number as the payment reference. 我还是不想付啊，第一250好像是骂我白痴。虽然我知道对方并不知道250对咱们华人是有特殊意义的。第二，也是最重要的我还是觉得挖个10-15公分的坑就挖断铜线也太坑人了。A1.7明显是为了万一出事，好找到人付账设计的。他们找的理由明显是在为自己不负责任的工作开脱的。如果真的是就是地壳运动，把网线推上来30公分。那我的地怎么没高30公分，就算实际公分也没有好吧。我的旧FENCE没自己倒就是他们找的理由不成立最好的证明。
虽然觉得自己没错。不过CHORUS怎么说也是办出条例来跟我撕了，所以我想在我回击之前看看大家的意见。毕竟我是个脸臭皮匠都不是的小人物。在下愿意听取各位的意见。
最后多谢各位花时间看戏
