Only the relative numbers are really interesting. Germany probably has 10 times more dial-up users than Andorra, but it's irrelevant.
As in Germany a lot of users are attached via OPAL (optical) instead of POT (copper), they can't get DSL.
Yep, that makes sense.
And as the Telekom decided, that attaching every household with OPAL equipment is too expensive, a lot of persons have just no opportunity to get broadband, despite having modern cabling.
I don't quite understand why they can't have broadband when they're connected via optical fibre? That sounds like the optimal medium. Does Telekom not want to install the necessary equipment in the exchanges? /Per Jessen, Zürich
