Mark Kenny again with another leaked nbn document:

"A leaked internal NBN Co document - the second this week - reveals
the company has successfully trialled a new "type-3" system or "MT-LFN"
or multi-technology local fibre network, which uses cutting-edge,
thinner optical fibres combined with flexible joints and other
improvements.

The technology advance, which allows the system to bypass the ageing
Telstra copper wire network from the node to the home, was tested in
two Victorian sites: Ballarat (July 7, 2014 to December 1, 2015) and
the south-east Melbourne suburban site of Karingal (July 14, 2014 to
December 1 2015)."
