    I was talking to a guy from Japan at a telecom conference. €65 p.m. for FTTH. So not too cheap. Not sure if that includes a phone service and basic IPTV package as well as broadband though. If you combine BB & line rental on the higer DSL packs here, it is comparable price for much better service I suppose.

    €65 for FTTH what? 1Mbps? 100Mbps? 1Gbps? 100Mbps both ways seems to be the norm.
