Yipes, five years is a long time between drinks. Well here they started
rolling it out across our country about 3-5 years ago. In my city some parts
of it got it over 18 months ago. My area should get before June 2015.

Here we have 4 companies across the country laying the fibre and about 10-12
other telcos that then sell the service / connectivity etc.
