Many residents have picked up one or the other, and that is a good thing, as the 200-pair copper cable was pretty much maxed out which does not give you any room to move if a pair goes crook, but we were loathe to install more copper, as we knew the fibre and wireless options were coming. You can also get wireless broadband and land-line, which is basically just a glorified cell-phone in a box to give the BB and phone via the cellphone network. Copper faults have been a pain in my arse for years. I used to chase copper cable faults semi-regularly over the years, but since they have installed fibre around the village, residents who move to fibre have their copper disconnected, and that is a good thing. no landline included, but on prepay cellphone calls are only 4 cents/minute. i've just ordered 30Mb/s fibre for the place i'm renovating (and moving into soon) for a cost of nz$65/month. Here in NZ they are rolling out fibre to the house, in a few years i'm picking there will be hardly any copper left. I'm on unlimited fibre with landline etc - about $100 a month in NZ money, and I also get my house power on the same bill, so it is nice and easy. That seems like an odd way to do a FIBRE network. I have fibre right to the house, so no intermediate copper links. The ping is a little high IMHO, but the speed seems fine - I never have any complaints as to speed. Unless you are behind a VPN or something, in which case. Mik - you should change that image, as your public IP address is on display.
