It’s fibre from the home to your provider. New Zealand's current international connectivity is provided by three under-sea fibre optic cables with a combined total throughput of 73 terabits per second.

While we're on the topic of nonsense numbers Wolfram Alpha estimates that to be 14 megabits per person

Or it could be gigabits available to any person. Since it would be 14 megabits per person per second right, assuming 100% utilisation?

I merely told it to divide 73 terabits by the population of New Zealand and to express that in megabits. So yeah no consideration of usage patterns: "nonsense numbers" just like the supposed 46G wifi this story is about.

I do agree that all these numbers are pretty meaningless . Somehow truth in advertising laws don't apply to many of these claims. Only seen the Australian regulator really crack down on it.
