I don't usually compare with other countries. I would prefer study the
current infrastructure, look at the business model and see why the price
can't be lowered. Does Orange/MT have valid reasons as to why they can't
provide more bandwidth for the current price?

The current FTTH by Orange is plain marketing. They're offering DSL speed
over Fibre and "few" people are voicing out. Would educational institutions
voice out their bandwidth needs and speak in favor of 100Mbps (minimum)
standard for Mauritius?
