Fibre rollout

Its about time too.
BB speeds are becoming just like dial up speeds nowadays.
People will use 100 Mb networks, just like the upgrade to 1 Mb BB from dial up some years ago.
How many people said 'I don't need BB, I only use it for email'.
But BB opened up a torrent of different uses for those exact same people.
I know, my mother is 70 years old, on BB wirelessly and never stops nudging me on MSN Messenger with her laptop.
She books cruises around the world, contacts and send pictures to the people she meets and now wants to video the places to upload them.
All in all, even a 70 year Grandmother will utilise 100 Mb if its affordable.
