Copper might do for the short term, but it is expensive to maintain and has all sorts of issues like crosstalk/interference, susceptibility to water etc. Fibre does not have those issues and fibre can last 60 years. Fibre can also give a consistent speed up to 50 kilometres from the node as opposed to copper that degrades significantly after 2 or 3 kilometres. Copper will also max out probably around the 200Mbps – 300Mbps mark from a theoretical maximum around 1Gbps. Other countries are talking about 10Gbps and they have achieved Petabyte transmission speeds in the labs. As David rightly pointed out, if you want to go to even higher speeds, they will need to replace the fibre with even faster fibre and change the technology at the end points, but once it is done properly once, those changes won’t be as difficult to achieve.

To try to make internet access more available? I have no problem with people in the middle of nowhere getting it first because they have few options. I might complain about being stuck with optus but I still get 20Mb/s down and I think 0.25 up. I know people in outer suburbs that just can't get it at all. I'm not talking rural. Sure it means I don't get my FTTH in the foreseeable future but it is the fair option. The fibre part of this whole argument is, strictly speaking, secondary. Making internet access available to all for a reasonable cost is more important. On that note, charging $5000 to get that access isn't really the same thing. For many, you may as well say they can't have it. David "If we can hit that bullseye, the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards... checkmate!" -Zapp Brannigan, Futurama
