As I read the paper, they demonstrated an optical transmitter capable of 
the claimed speeds, and observed the signal at the other end of 
kilometres of fibre between the two universities.

However, they didn't claim to have a working receiver and they didn't 
demonstrate the transmission of actual data, letalone the internet, at 
that speed. Even the press release from Monash seems to push this 
misinformation 
(https://www.monash.edu/news/articles/australian-researchers-record-worlds-fastest-internet-speed-from-a-single-optical-chip).
