Also, we can now pay higher prices for the same service. But it's 'better' now!

That’s not possible because the same service doesn’t exist anymore.

If you want cheap telephony, get cheap voip telephony. It’s almost free.

Per Mbit/s/EUR, fiber isn't an improvement (in NL).

PSTN is the telephone network, not internet. If you want to replicate dialup, get a prepaid wireless card or a cheap subscription.

In NL. Other places it works sanely, and any cable is Mbit/s/EUR, and there is thus competition driving the prices down.

How many megabits per second were you getting on that PSTN line? Or is this just some generic ‘the rent is too damn high’ tangent?
