The main companies have difficulties in finding faults at the moment. In looking at a project such as this, one should always keep an eye on the future and ask whether it can be expanded somewhere. This is a national roll-out of fibre to the home. I live in an urban area where I thought I had good fibre connectivity, like lots of us did, until everybody started using devices at the same time. I know NBI has its hands full with the areas that are not served at the moment, but will there be fibre to the door of every urban home, or is that being left to the likes of Siro and the other companies? I cannot get fibre broadband to my home, currently.
