I think where I went wrong was being a self-centered American. I apologize.
Here in the US you really don’t want your Internet running on even 20 year old copper. It’s not just the wire insulation, in the last mile it’s often like undocumented band aids on top of band aids on top of band aids. The mess needs sorted to get the smallest task accomplished. And, then one’s lucky if it works as well as intended.
For example, copper last mile in a twenty year old neighborhood often means your Internet sucks when it rains.
