The Lines that are being proposed i think, i cant quiet remember.
But it will be fast. ADSL will look like a dialup modem.
there are alot of options all are expensive.
I believe they want it to be on PAR with other first world countries in terms of speed. Trust me it will be fast the options available are Recent tech.
The cost is being picked up by tax payers, but it should come out of the budget surpluss's, its an investment into Australia's future. All walks of life will definately benefit from Big/small business, Home/Education institutions. So its a worthy investment.
Oh well most of the options they said will take a few years to implement. (they should have started this agez ago we are far behind, Governments only respond to problems, they dont pre-empt them)
About upwards of 3 years depending on what they implement.
