To be fair France has had this national policy of "digital availability, leave no one behind." This resulted in my mother (remote village with ~100ish people)

To be fair France has had this national policy of "digital availability, leave no one behind." This resulted in my mother (remote village with ~100ish people) and father (there might be like 10 houses along a mountain road, several km from the village). Both got upgraded from ReADSL (512k/128k, sometimes 1M on good days, 0kbps on bad ones) to 1Gbps symmetric FTTH a few years ago. It's absolutely not economically viable to lay out fiber so it has to come from politics, which also mandates that fiber must be shared to prevent predatory pricing through local monopolies.
