> However, some of the new copper cabling is being rolled out in new housing estates, which - after a policy change - no longer need to be exclusively cabled using fibre.

> It was also revealed overnight that the upgrade path for many fibre-to-the-curb (FTTC) users to G.Fast technology is not as simple as a soft upgrade to network equipment.

> Last night NBN Co said distribution point units (DPUs) - which connect homes to the NBN - that are deployed as part of the initial FTTC rollout will support VDSL only.
