	[SM] This is pretty convincing, especially given your perspective (I only view these things from my pure end-user vantage point).

*) According to https://de.statista.com/statistik/daten/studie/203020/umfrage/anzahl-der-dsl-kunden-von-vodafone-in-deutschland/ Vodafone Germany had around 2.5 Million DSL customers end on 2022 this is not a lot (there are roughly 40 Million access links in Germany) but it is also not "nothing".
