My house had a 60A fuse on the incoming cutout. I rang Western Power
to enquire about an upgrade and within 90 minutes it was done. I now
have 80 amp fuse and was told it could go up to 100 amp if the cutout
was changed. Incredible service.
The question though. What current fuse is normal these days?



For a new build 100A. To get service like that your 60A fuse must have
blown.

Western Power (ex SWEB) seem to be a good bunch like that. I had them
out to move a meter from inside to outside. Went to the depot to collect
the box and they waved me in the general direction of a stack of them
with a smile. The engineers who came out to do the job were both
thorough and personable and, IIRC, they offered me a 100A fuse (and on
16mm tails when I thought it needed 25mm.)
