xDSL-prices are still quite high here, at least in Gèneve.
I'm not 100% sure if Swisscom has a monopoly as I have only lived here since January but here are Swisscom's price list for xDSL (rough calculation from CHF to EUR):
5/0,5 Mbit: 30 euro
10/1 Mbit: 40 euro
20/2 Mbit: 55 euro
For these connections you also have to pay for a fixed telephone line (hello Swisscom, this is the 21-century, not the 19:th!) which costs 20 euro per month.

Back in Finland I got a 50/10Mbit connection for 40 euros which included IPTV.
- rguldener 12y agoFiber in Zurich is a lot cheaper, eg. 20Mbit symmetric is about 25 euro with a small but very competent ISP
- pasiaj 12y agoI'm paying 30€ for a 100M symmetrical VDSL in Oulu, Finland. I'm actually getting 35Mbps in both directions, which is awesome.
- Nanzikambe 12y agoDSL is expensive everywhere in .ch , switch to cable if its available in your area: http://www.swisscom.ch/en/residential/internet/internet-at-home/fibre-optics.html http://www.swisscom.ch/en/residential/internet/internet-at-h... Not sure about Geneve, but in Vaud and Neuchatel it's available.
- brunnsbe 12y agoIt still seems to cost a lot, e.g. Vivo Casa package which has 8Mbit download speed is 74CHF, I have the same connection but with a VDSL-model. The interesting part is that my connection really is 27Mbit so that the IPTV gets enough bandwith, then Swisscom adds this "artifical" speed reducer so that the Internet traffic only reaches a maximum of 8Mbit. :-(
