Re #selfhosting.. I checked with provider Colt, because I saw their label on some utility shaft lids in neighbouring roads sidewalks. So in a quick call, they promised to call be back, which they did within the hour. Came back with prices though.. so yes, they are in the area, just across the road, some 200m away on the other side though. I can see that street corner just fine from my livingroom. Digging a trench and putting fibre in though would cost a mere 33k €€€, which I'd have to pay for (obviously) on top of the three-digit monthly fee, to repay them over a period of 2,3 or 5 years (my choice). Steep numbers front and back, whichever way I turn them, so sadly I won't be able to get symmetric fibre for cheap where I am.
