As far as I can work out the water/sewer/recycled water and electric use the same basic duct system. Telstra has one for the phone lines and Optus has the unused duct.

It's all underground here as well Barry, except Optus has cabled the area. They have not done it for a while, but every couple of months either a Telstra/Foxtel or Optus cable seller would knock on the door trying to get us to sign up. Since we don't have enough time or interest to watch all the free digital channels why would we want more stuff to not watch?
This will probably contribute to NBN being in no hurry because we could choose to use cable broadband, and my ADSL2+ is over the 12Mb/s considered to be "adequate".
