I mean it was useful because there was already so much copper in the ground. You still see it in new neighborhoods in the netherlands as well. They build a house, hook up legacy phoneline and cable. Then you have to wait several years and they dig up your street for fiber to the home. For the love of god just start with fiber assholes!

Most ISPs here cap at a few gig and then throttle you down. My current ISP (I'm switching soon) throttles me when I use 350MB per day for the rest of the day. Dropping me down to 128Kbit. Our telecoms industry a long time ago had the chance of upgrading our infrastructure a while ago to one based on fiber, but instead gave bosses a pay rise. So now we are stuck with copper that in many cases is 30-50 years old. A typical ADSL line in the United Kingdom is 8MBit (you’ll hardly every actually get more than half that though).

I've been with Batelco for 10 months now and my bandwidth was not made down ever. Hey,
