It will probably take another 6 months+ for most areas. Sleeves/pipes are empty (no fibreglass), access points at fence/wall and connection points (hole in ground with box and lockable lid) is still outstanding in most areas.

CBD - Where they'll probably get the most money.

They're trenching everywhere, even the poorest areas. Many complain it's too expensive, so it will be interesting to see how many people sign up.

I think you'll be waiting a while. You'll probably see the second coming of Jesus first. At least you have options if you having connectivity issues with one of the network providers.

I signed a 2 year contract with a wisp 3 months ago. They did say they will change customers over to fibre, but not sure at what cost and t&c's.

I don't mind finishing the contract first before signing up.
