ADSL is history, it only ever made sense in rich countries where
physical copper cables were pre-installed in homes. While rich
countries have moved to fibre, the rest of the world won't use
ADSL either because there is no copper cable to begin with. So
it's actually cheaper to just lay a fibre cable for a new install.
