This is completely standard not only for this city but for this country and for neighboring countries also.
Also for single-family houses or mostly in areas with higher concentrations? I'm surprised it was worth the extra investment in the infrastructure, but I guess xDSL wasn't suitable for some reason.

That's hardly the only reason for such a move.
But it is undoubtedly a very significant argument. If the existing wiring is good enough to provide X, why spend more money to provide X ?
Are you asking about now or some time ago? Some time ago nobody would use just Internet without a LAN because Internet was very expensive. Now they are closer, but Ethernet is somewhat cheaper. And also there is only one telephone company with their ADSL over telephone and multiple Ethernet providers.
DSL is a hack that deserves to die, the sooner the better, just like the analog modems. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
