75% of the population will have access to fibre at gigabit speeds by 2019 [1]. Coverage will increase to 84% by 2024. Not sure about latencies off the top of my head, but there are several new international cables under construction [2] which will help which accessing sites hosted overseas.

I get 200ms latency to my Linode server in Dallas, Texas testing from the North Island. Australia and South East Asia are between 40 and 100ms normally.

The rollout started a number of years ago. They're already over 70% of the way towards the 75% target.
