Great.

That is available here too. The central transmitter is some 65000 klicks up! ;-)

POTS is fading out here. Very few providers still offer dial-up Internet.

Internet via satellite is available all over Europe though, and yes, it is more expensive than a fixed line. But it is affordable if you do not need top speed.
