Hello Richard!

 MV>>> What are the alternatives? Cable? DSL? Sattelite?
 MH>> Cable: Too slow here, to expensive
 RM> DOCSIS 3.1 too slow??

Technologically, DOCSIS 3.1 is fine, but the price is something else:

Looking at the offers, Mbits/s, per month
- 50 = CHF 49.00
- 100 = CHF 59.00
- 300 = CHF 74.00
- 1000 = CHF 89.00

All best effort.

Compared to my FTTH with 1gig symmetrical for CHF 34.00, not best effort. :-)

 RM> Even if you can get sat uplink.
 RM> It is a good technology if there is nothing else available.

True. Starlink is an iteresting project too.

 RM> But the latency is high (ranging from 45ms+ in low earth orbit to 600+
 RM> for geostationary.)

True.

 RM> And cost is also usually much higher.

Exactly.
