Not even purely fiber to the node any more, they are going with a "multi-technology mix"[1]

So by the end of 2020, 98% to 100% of the population would have at least 25Mbps[2]. Which is maybe twice as fast as what we have now on average (as a guess).

It is also way behind schedule and over budget[3], when being quicker and cheaper were its main selling points against the FTTP solution proposed by the Labor government.

To be fair, the company executing on Labour's vision - NBNCo - was also going much slower than originally projected too.

Yeah but by the time it finished, it would be far from being obsolete ;)
