Canberra has also been rolling out 'high capacity optic fibres to within 300 metres of individual homes. The last segment of the connection to the home consists of copper wires, similar to those used in office local area networks. The total bandwidth to every home is a massive 51mbps downstream and 1.6mbps upstream.' I think this is supposed to be a world first. I'm sure this must have already been covered.
