    Hi August.

    23 May 21 20:45:00, you wrote to me:

    I let ISDN go about 15 years ago. It was in operation in
    parallel with ADSL for some years, but there was no point
    paying it for nothing. No more modem callers, and voice
    calls went to GSM.

    The dollar is the bottom line, both for distribution as well as
    for the end-user. If those wires are constantly in need of
    reapir, then any opportunity to do away with them sounds
    practical.

    There were about 5 kilometers of old telephone wire to my house, but ADSL 10/1 was working perfect. Now it is gone. :(

    And just few weeks ago the local telephone company
    dismantled the phone wires here.

    I would assume that there is still plenty of above-ground poles
    to distribute electricity?

    Yes, the poles still exist. But there is demand from our government that power cables should be put underground. And it costs money.

    But then it is storm proof.
