Will Australia Get Its Fibre?
Back in March of this year the Australian Labor Party said it would invest AU$4.7 billion in a new national fibre broadband network if it won the federal election.
It's now been two days since the ALP was voted into government and a lot of Australians (including myself) are eagerly waiting to see if this promise is kept. The plan was to roll-out fibre to the node(FTTN) which should provide broadband speeds of a minimum of 12Mbps to 98 percent of Australian population which is 4 times what I get today out of my ADSL2 connection.

We have several FttH projects in The Netherlands.
One of them is XMSnet (www.xmsnet.nl) which has a co-operation with a real estate company.
They are now offering FttH to a few of the large cities in The Netherlands, such as mine. About 10 meters from my house they already have FttH, but unfortunately my house is not on the list to get connected to this network in at least the next 2 years.
The city of Amsterdam also has a project like the above, but their goal is to connect every house in the city.
Most FttH projects here offer speeds starting from 24 Mbit up to 100 Mbit (both up- and download). 24 Mbit for €32,95 (about 50 AUD), 48 Mbit for €70,90 (about 110 AUD) and 100 Mbit for €92,90 (about 145 AUD). These prices are rather cheap for FttH here. All these plans have unlimited data transfers.
