    DP>WD>> And is the market liberalised or is it a state-owned monopoly   
    DP>WD>> there?   
      
    DP>> haha. i was waiting for that question. yes it's -still-   
    DP>> liberalised, but good catch. :)   
      
    WD> Ah yes, Matav. I forgot where you reside. Any competitors?   
      
   :) the 90s are gone Ward!   
   Matav is now called (Deutsche) Telekom   
      
    DP>> a couple of years ago these idiots tried to make an internet-tax   
    DP>> (150 HUF/GB on data, approx 0.4 EUR/GB), but on the same evening   
    DP>> millions went on to the streets protesting against it, so on the   
    DP>> next day they back off.   
      
    WD> When politicians need money, they become very resourceful.   
      
    WD> So, millions took to the streets against an internet-tax but they   
    WD> still vote for such an idiot like Orban?   
      
   stupid isn't it?   
      
    WD> Maybe the numbers are 'slightly' exagerated?   
      
   maybe. but still, it was the largest protest.   
      
    WD> Other than that I'm not impressed by fiber-optic and the need for it.   
      
   me neither, but i have to say optic is the most stable connection from all i   
   have (i have catv at home, the  weekend house, etc)   
      
    WD> I still enjoy my 2 copper wires connection. It serves 2 TVs, a   
    WD> landline, 5 or 6 mobiles, tablets and this Fido server. No delays, no   
    WD> malfunctions ... how much bandwith and speed does the residential   
    WD> customer require?   
      
   there is no smaller package :( :P
