spoken to a freind on irc who lives in germany their dsl market works like this.

they pay for phoneline of telco
they then pay for dsl on top say 10 euro for 2mbit
they then pay fee to isp on top of this which may be something like 2-3 euro for basic beginner package 2 gig traffic allowance.
they can pay 6 euro on top of this for unmetered.
he upgraded today to 6mbit for an extra 13 euro and if you already paid the 6 euro it is an unmetered connection.

He said they have no shaping there although was tried the customers simply moved away in mass numbers so was dropped and their dsl products generally are not contended on the local exchange only at the isp, people can download in evenings and no signs of speed dropping.

50mbit Vdsl is also been rolled out there this summer. fibre to the kerb. This is done with no government funding and they have to open their network to competitors (LLU)
