    I’d be interested to know what the actual speeds will be outside of these pilot cities, and internationally. I’ve seen 10Gbps plans being advertised in my country recently, but they hide the fact that the international speeds are around 2 Gbps. (Still pretty fast, but definitely not worth the cost!)

    A better question, actually: Who’s the target audience for this? Unless you routinely transfer terabytes of data daily, I don’t see why you would need anything more than 1 or 2 Gbps - and if you do need to transfer that much data, wouldn’t it be more cost-effective to lease dark fibre instead?

      Having fiber runs to your house costs 10s of thousands. You typically only do that for large business.
