And it\u2019s about time we were given the option of switching on the fibre fantastic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808080;\">The aggregate fibre optic cabling is an unmistakeable bright green colour and is fed through the new and existing telecommunications ducts and pits. The main fibre lines are controlled at fibre distribution hub (FDH) boxes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Speaking with one of the contractors, these unassuming white boxes are capable of controlling fibre distribution across an entire suburb, a far cry from fibre-to-the-node (FTTN) which promises large cabinets on every block.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Once the aggregate fibre cable is installed, fibre-to-the-premises (FTTP) lines are \u201csplit\u201d and connected to the building.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808080;\">I have already ordered a basic fibre service from an NBN Co retail service provider (RSP), but more about that in the next post.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808080;\">For now, keep an eye out for the bright green cable.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-610 gallery-columns-2 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon
