Welcome to Sweden! I signed up for 100/10 mbps when I moved in to my (then newly built) apartment in Stockholm, in 2006. Recently (last year I think) my provider was installing some new equipment, and when noticing the plan I was on asked if I wanted to upgrade to 200/100 mbps at the same cost. Said and done. The idea of city wide LANs started taking off in the late 90s and early 00s, and many (most?) new buildings from the mid 00s onward have fiber optics wired throughout for the day they do get connected. This was the case for my building, but it is by no means unique. Many older apartment buildings and single family residences also get retrofitted to take advantage; an operation which these days is usually pretty cheap all things considered. Even smaller cities often invest in such infrastructure. For example, in the small city of Strömstad (population ca 12000) you can connect to the local fiber network from nearly every home. The explicit goal is to get everyone connected. Sweden has great IT infrastructure, a testament to forward thinking in the 90s. (Probably fueled by lobbying from technology companies like Ericsson.)
