I plan on getting UFB some time. Most cables in my street (power, phone, telstra clear) are overhead, so I figure it will be too, though it's not that important. Right now Telstra cable comes in overhead, runs through the guttering, down the outside of the building, then goes through the wall into my office. Telecom phone line (inactive) comes in a similar way I think, I've never really looked.

I plan to put the terminating equipment and a router/wap (may be all in one) up in the very high ceiling of my place. I'll run a conduit down an internal wall that will connect to the wired equipment like TV and PS3, the IP phone (when I get one), and my office computer, possibly with small routers in each place if I need them. The conduit would probably be inch wide pipe, as I'm taking the linings off a room tomorrow so I can install it then with no hassles.

Even if the fibre comes in underground I can send it up that conduit to the ceiling, then back down to distribute it.

How does this sound? Things that I mostly wonder about:
 - Can consumer networking equipment stand the heat in a ceiling? It probably reaches 40 degrees up there during the summer days.
 - Will running an inch wide pipe inside an internal wall weaken the structure at all?
 - Is there anything else I haven't though of?
