Google Fiber is well on it's way in the US and here in Australia, our Government is rolling out a NBN, (national broadband network) which can reach speeds of up to 40x ADSL. It'll happen soon, Japan is doing something similar too.... Not that it matters too much for the Xbox ONE!!! LOL!


You mean the NBN that's going to be scrapped come September when the Liberals win the federal election? 

In many area's it's available now... Including mine actually, Melbourne outer suburbs. I just checked. How can they scrap it now? It would cost more money to do so than it would for further expansion and upkeep... Seriously, go to most Australian ISP websites and they'll have it. Most of the thing is being done within the year...

Never-mind actually, found this coverage map. It covers pretty much everywhere with even a moderate population. They won't/can't scrap it. Just changing the name, claiming it's something else and pretending they did it either doesn't count.... I sadly could see this happening.
