In Zürich city a law was passed to pull fiber into every home. The fiber is serviced by the electric and partially the largest phone company. Any provider can use the network and therefore the fees a low.
If you live outside the city you may not be so lucky and spend 100+ on maybe 500mbit internet.
Init7 is also currently in a legal fight with swisscom because swisscom wants (has already started) to pull some alternative fiber that doesn't directly connect the customer to the pop therefore preventing competitors offering faster service than swisscom. The small cost savings that swisscom has is a huge problem for future upgrades and requires power in underground shafts. Not very green when you could pull the fibers directly.
