A hole in the ground
A rather ordinary photo showing the bright blue fibre running in underground ducts.

Photos: here's what an NBN-install might look like in your street

So what does getting your street hooked up to the national broadband network actually involve? These photos, which Whirlpool user Sambo9 has courteously given us permission to republish here, show an NBN-install in detail. All images are by Sambo9. See the gallery on Flickr.
