    Here's some of the fiber infrastructure being rolled out in Melbourne now. Interesting and exciting...

    Underground fiber cable doesn't mean anything unfortunately.

    All of Austin is wired with fiber optic cable underground. The problem is, no one has fiber in their house. Even if they did, they would have to pay $300/month+ to get a connection that would make use of it.

    Maybe your situation is different down there in Rooville.

    Fiber-to-the-premises is being rolled out here. The figures being quoting are 93% fiber coverage to all premises with the remaining 7% in regional and outback areas covered with wireless and satellite.

    I bet you're excited krakt?

    All the ISP that are offering fibre still have outrageously low quotas. Hopefully competition will kick in soon.

    Let's see if it gets rolled out here first .

    When are they expected to be finished covering that 93%?

    It's going to take a while tesco, like a couple of decades. Knowing the current governments planning strategies more than a life time is a reality.

    8 years (2010 - 2018) is the expected completion time. The map on this website gives a good indication of progress to date. $120M of satellite spectrum has already been purchased, so things seem to be moving along.

    We also have opposition politicians who would rather spend this money in their electorates and are hellbent on scrapping the project. Hopefully it's too late for them, but who knows?

    Luckily, here, our ISPs bring the Fiber cable right up to your gateway inside home. I have Fiber optics cabling around my house all the way to my living room where the main gateway is placed.
    And here I was thinking my country didn't make anything good.
