Fiber all the way would be great, but never likely to happen for homes.
ISPs pay NBN for so mnay Mb/s "pipes", if they don't buy enough MB/s (ala, the pipe is too thin), then there will be more congestion no matter what type of technology connects you to the network.
In some more "developed" countries fiber all the way is a common thing. A friend who lives in Vietnam has 2 fiber connections to his home. He was officially out of the service area for the second, so he had to pay $28 and unlimited iced water to get the workers to run a longer fiber - that's apparently how things work there.
Kansas City, Google fibere 1Gb/s symetric ... it is do-able, but try telling NBN Co that or those responsible for what we've got. Here it would cost 10s of thousands of dollars if you are lucky t get your own fiber. A.
