Also, we can now pay higher prices for the same service. But it's 'better' now!

  That’s not possible because the same service doesn’t exist anymore. If you want cheap telephony, get cheap voip telephony. It’s almost free.

    Per Mbit/s/EUR, fiber isn't an improvement (in NL).

      PSTN is the telephone network, not internet. If you want to replicate dialup, get a prepaid wireless card or a cheap subscription.
