The general going rate for a 250/100 in Sweden is around 35EUR for the 
kind of service where you can then choose any ISP. Typically the 
first-mile provider takes the bulk of this money.

In the cases where the proprty is on STOKAB fiber footprint (or 
equivalent) and you have a reasonably large MDU the landlord can contract 
an ISP to deliver ETTH to all apartments (typically CAT6 from switch in 
basement) where the going rate per apartment is around 5-15EUR a month for 
something like 100/100, 1G/100M or 1G/1G.

All of this with *PON nowhere to be seen. It's all AE over fiber or 
CAT5/6/7.
