Yeah - but it's on fibre. Don't you know that copper is the future? It's
faster, cheaper, and can be installed more quickly. That's why all the
really top-shelf research is concentrating on getting super high speeds
over copper. Apparently people are already pushing tens of gigabits over
inch-long snippets; it's just a simple matter of scaling that up. And
Australia's world-class broadband network will be ready and waiting when
they do!

UCL? Fibre? What a pack of amateurs. Sheesh.
