#25I'm very glad to see it happening. Finally we might catch up with Baltic countries... Switzerland has the money and a population that isn't particularly hard to cover thoroughly compared to some nearby countries. Yet we wasted nearly 15 years in some cantons arguing about roles and responsibilities, while it was pretty clear that local utility companies need to be in charge of horizontal fiber deployment, and the ISP…
Living in the canton of Zurich and having my office in Dübendorf this makes me happy! :) We are currently paying about 250$ for 10Mbit/s symmectrical fiber.

#29Damn, I'm paying $80/month here in Australia for 3 mbit/s. The local exchange has been maxxed out for the last 10 years. Its possible we have the worst Internet of all developed countries.

#30The city of Zürich voted on having fiber to every home/building. The fiber is independently operated from the service providers (EWZ (City of Zürich electricity) and Swisscom manage the fiber). You can pick from as many as 15 different providers in the area of internet/television and phone [1] [1] https://www.stadt-zuerich.ch/ewz/de/index/telecom/ewz_zuerin...
>Im Gegensatz zu anderen FTTH Angeboten, die auf Layer-2 Plattformen von städtischen Werken basieren, benutzt Fiber7 eine komplett eigene Internet-Infrastruktur. (https://www.fiber7.ch/fiber7-verfugbarkeit/)
Loosely translated this means that they are using their own infrastructure not based on what the EWZ has already built.
Considering how hard it is to get permission to dig holes around here, I wonder how the hell they have done this.
