   I'm hooked up. Initially at speeds of 100Mbps down and 50Mbps up. I ended up   
   being my ISPs first customer to be wired up for their VoIP offering as well   
   so my POTS connection is a cable lying in the roof space now.   
      
   6-7 days pass and y/day I was upgraded to the Gigatown speeds I had been   
   hoping to take advantage of since November last year when my city won a   
   national competition to be the first in my country to be offered gigabit   
   speeds over fibre - we get it at a very good price for three years before   
   others will.   
      
   Now I am on speeds of 840Mpbs down and around 440Mpbs up the last time I   
   checked. It's amazing and the computers in the house are showing up as the   
   bottle necks now instead of the imcoming data.   
      
   I hope to start exploring the viable use of streaming services such as   
   Netflix (arrived in Australia / New Zealand about 4-6 weeks ago) soon.   
      
   Best, Paul
