I work in this field in Spain. Margins in this sector are slim, deployment is expensive. EVERYONE works with simultaneity rates, it's the only way to have cheap connections.

In fiber connections is actually not that expensive to split a fiber after a CTO, you can actually sort of daisy chain it, but you want to keep everything as standard as possible.

Margins are not slim at all in the USA

I'm Canadian, trust me I know and hate it.

Some EU relatives of mine keep their phone plans living here because it's cheaper with the overseas rate than paying Canadian plan rates (!!!)
