Australia? NBN (National Broadband Network) is the only one I can think of...

Real Question: On paper, NBN is an insane human development achievement. Why do so many non-urban Ozzies on HN complain about lousy Internet access? Honestly, I don't believe it. Send them to Germany for a year, and they will see how bad it can be. (HN is full of funny stories from Germans about how bad is their broadband.)

No, New Zealand with UFB which is fibre to the door for about 90% of the population with rural broadband initiatives for the remaining 10%.
