Not only the Hunter - I have a hazy recollection that SaskTel might have 
been involved in the early discussions of TransACT, but again nothing 
eventuated.

In the Hunter area  Ipera (www.ipera.com.au) have their own fibre 
network running around Newcastle and surrounding areas, and I am sure 
Soul does as well.
Not all fibre is Telstra fibre.
