There's currently a test going on in Belgium about a low cost alternative ( wireless / mesh / 60 ghz) https://pharrowtech.com/news/pharrowtech-telenet-and-unitron-secure-public-funding-for-fixed-wireless-access-field-trial https://pharrowtech.com/news/pharrowtech-telenet-and-unitron... The trial is expected next year. Follow up on it and consider it later on. It could bring down the cost to a fraction and has an expected bandwith of 1Gbit/s per person.

I'll have to see the results to believe it. Current 60Ghz options are several hundred dollars for a link (at least), and the link is ~1Gbps. You can't put that in an actual mesh network and get 1Gbps per customer. That article you linked is marketing speak.

  The source of how i found it ( dutch): https://tweakers.net/nieuws/186942/telenet-test-inzet-60ghz-band-voor-draadloos-internet-van-1gbit-s-of-sneller.html https://tweakers.net/nieuws/186942/telenet-test-inzet-60ghz-... You should check about where it came from. It's a spinoff from Imec. Which is one of the most unknown R&D companies in the semiconductor area for the public ( Eg. ASML is similar, but ASML is a for-profit)
