That was my first thought too and I couldn't find a concrete figure per month
for it, but I did find a document saying you were eligible for a free build on
a 3 year contract (may be inaccurate/specific to that provider I found offering
that, YMMV) so you'd basically just be paying the up-front build fee over time,
but for those with bad connections that are desperate to get onto Fibre, that
may be preferable.
Good to know there is another option there, even if it's unlikely most people
can/will utilise it.
Cheers,

Enterprise Ethernet is certainly a better product, but the costs aren't
necessarily suitable for a residential customer, regardless of the possibility
of a free build (which is not always the case).

it’s a lot less fibre length to run but still requires a lot of the same types
of work in the end so I’m not expecting much.
$5100 https://whrl.pl/Rfme7I which is ridiculous although these posts from
2016 https://whrl.pl/ReLT5w and https://whrl.pl/ReLVZj claim why it's
expected.
Really if you want fibre you may as well take advantage of the free builds
on nbn enterprise ethernet at the moment than do a tech change.
