Yep,all installed now. Speeds 10 x faster the before with the wireless. Now will start the routing of Ethernet Cat 6 cables to the other fixed device areas. Seems to have a snowball effect when the kids and I tell our work mates about the fibre install process/improvements.

Think about it before jumping in..
1/ The data speeds... IF u actually NEED them, in most cases are your D/Load speed , not upload.
On adsl with 16 meg down 1.2 up 1.2 is enough tom run a basic web server , 2 or 3 web sites and several domain name mail servers.. plus basic family wireless use.
2/ The connection goes to your router/ modem...if u then connect via wireless , that straight way limits any fast connection between router and phone tablet PC etc....If only limited in the router to only couple wireless channels with more household connections that then congests things up big time. Therefore to take advantage of your new fast connection... hard wire with CAT 5 or 6....and even better have a router with 1000 meg connections along with any switch in between... And preferably 1000 meg rather than 100 meg Ethernet connections on the PC laptops etc.
3/ VDSL has excellent downloads way above ADSL2, this will handle most small business and home connections , unless u do a lot of uploading to the cloud.. like ADSL and ADSAL2 it has around 1 meg upload
Maybe not quite as relivent now, but when ADSL was upgraded to ADSL2.. the ISPs did not upgrade the router modems to ADSL2.. or if u had a ADSL2 router, it was not reconfigured to run the around 3 times faster ADSL2
So before jumping on the bandwagon...work out if u actually NEED that speed in the household or small business....
And If do, to take advantage u will need to look seriously at hard wiring each item to the router rather than wireless.
And another thing to consider..
static ips...if u run your own 'cloud' ftp web or mail servers...many isps charge extra, and many dont have this service... even with upgraded VDSL and optic.. which then means u will then need to run Remote DNS services such as No-ip.
Basically all the Very Important stuff they DONT tell u in the sales pitch.
