It is a curious setup what you describe. So the building, perhaps the city, is a local network to you, with a gateway to internet somewhere?
In another message, I provided a link to just such a setup in Wellington> NZ. There, Ethernet is a utility, which you can use to connect to an ISP of your choice.
I would say that my network is entirely controlled by one provider, but I can insert my Ethernet cable into a hub any of at least 3 providers who have a hub in my house.
This sounds a lot like a cable-TV network, except it's not for TV. I guess the uplink is fibre?
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. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (21.4°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
