What is the upper speed capability of Chorus UFB fibre?

I read somewhere that Chorus are looking at 10Gbps.

Fibre speeds are limited at present by optical equipment at each end.

My first ever AM radio network connection was with a 1MHz AM crystal(OA91) radio receiver.

Maybe I have an answer to my question... Not sure if this applies to Chorus fibre...

The 10Gbps symmetrical wholesale speed potentiality of NG-PON2 may be just the beginning, as nbn’s tests suggest the newer fibre protocol has the potential to reach wholesale speeds 10 times faster again, with wholesale speeds of up to 100Gbps symmetrical.
