Speaking of an Asia-Pac example, Thailand, the government owned telco.

Typically there are 1-3 different FTTH providers if you live in something 
that resembles a town, pay 50-100EUR installation fee, they show up within 
days to pull your new fiber and now you can have 150/50 for around 20EUR a 
month.

The price level has remained the same the past 5-6 years, but speed has 
gone up from 10/3 to 150/50 for the same monthly payment. Last year the 
150/50 price level offering was 100/20 instead.
