+1 I use them in Lausanne. 777 CHF/year is a great deal!

Interesting model: the price is the same for everyone, while bandwidth is the maximum they can offer in your location. Excellent support. I bought a TP-LINK MC220L + patch cables from them, and hooked up an edgerouter lite for PPPoE & VLAN tagging. Already had a wifi router (google wifi), which sadly can't do VLAN tagging. Haven't noticed any issues with the double NATing.

That model has a downside for the customer: the company has no incentive to invest to upgrade your speed, as you already pay them the one fixed amount.

Market pressures take care of that when they exist. Networking is a pure commodity business, you can squeeze a lot of cost out of it, but in the absence of competition the providers get fat, lazy and rich.

Once you deliver the fiber, the marginal cost of increasing port speed is a rounding error as you do routine infrastructure refresh.

Where I work, we’re increasing many wan links to 10Gb because the cost is marginal at scale. In some cases, it can save money versus an older slower tech!
