FTTH is available for my residential area but I want to keep on ASDL.

why unless FTTH is unreasonably expensive.

They will provide the same monthly quota of 140 GB with a higher speed for a higher price.
I do not need a higher speed, I need a larger quota with a lower price.

"interesting" -- I never notice anything about data caps in my location other than unlimited. The big "restriction" is asymmetrical 40 Mbps upload speed.

Even the ASDL is expensive in comparison to the average income; FTTH expenses not just the higher subscription, but also a one time, big installment for infrastrcuture fees and the cost of the ONT unit.

It was unlimited with lower speed (265 Kbps to 1024), but as the subscription fees were also high compared to the average income, families with residence close to each other used to make one subscription for one apartment, then share it between two or more apartments by extending cables from router, where Egypt Telecom company decided to deprecate and make it limited 😅

My TV is dumb and I did not turn it on since a decade.
But I have read those soccer fans have some sort of new, illegal streaming service for watching Laliga and Premier League which does not consume much bandwidth; I cannot recall its name, but it's something else than IPTV.

An excellent deal; I pay aprox 5€/month for 1/515 of this speed with very limited quota.

Internet in France is really cheap.
You can get packages between 2 and 8 Gbps for 25€ without TV ;) (with TV, it goes up, depending on what you choose and the provider).

My tv is only on when there is a soccer match of when i stream a series from my laptop to my chromecast.
I dont like to watch all those nonsense full with ads Dutch Channels.

Sometimes people ask me if i have seen this or that on tv, i tell them i dont even know who these people are hahaha and i dont care.

I have cable internet from Ziggo, thats really stable and never any issues, i had Optic Fiber before and a lot of times no internet.

I'm quite happy about my download speed of about a gig, unhappy about the upload being a tenth of that, having Synchronous broadband would be an advantageous, several fibre providers do that but at the moment not here, the main providers are BT Openreach or Virgin, I believe Virgin are thinking about Synchronous, but most people just look at the DL speed so there just isn't the will?

We also have absurd plans like 1Gbps download speeds, 50Mbps upload. :( Also, our 5 and 10Gbps download plans have 1Gbps upload speed. My provider is a small one, so I can get 1Gbps symmetrical, and it's very affordable as well. No change is needed rn.
