100/200/1GB is common now with UFB in NZ, and apartments/offces in the the CBDs are getting sorted. And dark fibre to DCs is available too. Heck - Trade Me was on the Wellington fibre loop back in the early 2000s.

International connections are up to the ISP - and those prices have dropped sharply over the years.

The main cost remains the last mile, and while plenty of money is there to be made from international (I was a Pacific Fibre founder - we tried, and a director of an ISP that can rapidly hook up connections from DCs to AWS etc) that's not really holding us back for most uses.
