First NBN FttN in Australia?

There is also a news item which seems to suggest Malcolm Turnbull built 
the NBN (perhaps by waving his hands, parting the soil for the fibre, 
like a latter day Moses):

"Malcolm Turnbull's NBN gets Newcastle 'hooked'", (David Ramli, AFR, Sep 
21 2015): 
http://www.afr.com/technology/malcolm-turnbulls-nbn-gets-newcastle-hooked-20150908-gjhk6c

And an even sillier version "Fast download with NBN trial 
‘unbelievable’" (MATTHEW KELLY, Herald, Sept. 20, 2015): 
http://www.theherald.com.au/story/3361487/fast-download-with-nbn-trial-unbelievable/

It is good to know that billions have been invested so Australians can 
quickly download episodes of Game of Thrones and send payment for it 
overseas. ;-)

Perhaps we might consider using the NBN for something productive, like 
creating some content, or education?
