Yes, fiber is pretty ubiquitous here in NZ now. Took quite a while but lately seems like mostly everyone I know has it whereas a years ago when it was still being rolled out it was a bit more like 50/50 at that time.
I remember having a really fun time trying to get it when it was announced that it was available in my street, but my house was originally not part of that street when it was built, but part of the street behind it. As such the system didn't recognise my address as being part of that street which makes absolutely no sense. I had to wait another 6 months until it was rolled out to the street behind my house which was actually in a different suburb.
So, it wasn't perfect but we got there in the end!
- toomanybeersies 6y agoI was a university student when they started rolling out UFB. For whatever reason, our contractor was taking forever to get around to finishing our install, so one day we found another bloke down the street doing an install, and gave him a box of beer to do a rush job for us.
- mrjin 6y ago50/50 is a soft limit, technically the fiber used recently can flawlessly goes to 1000/1000, which should be sufficient for the next decade at least.
- nullsense 6y ago50/50 in this case meaning half of the people I talked to had it, half didn't. Sorry.
