For those who want speed results my friend reported he got 470 / 430 Mb/s up/down to Sydney last week.

I'm a few months away from Gigabit fibre myself still.
Not convinced it will change my life, but still be nice to have :)

Delphinus: Set up a customer earlier this week through Snap. This is a speedtest to the Snap Chch server. 1ms ping to the Dunedin server. Sorry about the poor quality image.

what will change is that when you travel (overseas, friend's place, use mobile phone) it will be difficult to wait, rather miserable. so i don't plan to use the internet when i travel once i get gigafibre

I was lucky and had my gigabit fibre go live a few days ahead of the public release through my provider Orcon. Have to say that I have overall been pleased with the results. I have discovered one thing with the new speed that I didn't think of before hand. I have a number of computers in the house and none of them got very good results when running a speedtest even locally. Found out that it was due to my machines not been able to handle the full speed (they are a tad old). Had a friend bring over his newer computer and that is how I got the result shown below. It doesn't worry me that none of my machines can get the full speed to itself as there is normally more than one in use at once anyway.

I will borrow machine again and test to other locations.

Assuming the test ran for 30s at 908Mbps you've just churned through 3.4GB of data.

Slap on the wrist for those 100GB plans, you can accidentally use it up in 15mins or so (just downloading).
If you download and upload will take just 10mins.
