Internet gets plumbed in on Friday, new place is practically over the road from the exchange... Fingers crossed...

Most places here have copper to the house. It's only recently that, eg., Infinity gives people an option to have fibre to the home. My old flat in Melbourne doesn't have cable because the majority of people in the block didn't want it.
Australia pioneered large scale optic fibre roll outs between exchanges and between cities.
But then you have backward new governments reneging on their promise of the NBN...

When you have half of Australia's population in one city that's the size of inner Melbourne, it does become substantially easier to provide fast internet options..
