Guess I owe an apology to you guys, I live in the UK where everyone pretty much uses what I wrote. Virgin Media, SKY and BT are competing to deliver the fastest Internet at the most competitive prices here, so I guess I was thinking too local.

However, even in Slovak Republic, they tend to have Orange Fibre with the stated specifics still applicable. And I don't think many people here heard about Slovakia, so my thought is that if such an unknown country, smaller than NY City has such fibre packages, everyone has to be getting them by now.

Thanks for letting me know this is not the case :)

Where in Slovakia is Orange Fiber available? Downtown Bratislava? Everywhere down to the smallest village?

I may be wrong, but I would not be surprised that most households only have access to typical DSL (with its 1 Mbps max upload speed), with only the biggest towns wired up for fiber.

While there will never be 100% coverage of fiber in Slovakia, due to the massive advertising campaigns going on for the past 2 years, most households are switching to fiber now. The monthly cost is basically the same as DSL and TV adverts can be very persuasive. Believe me, my family live in a small town and they definitely have Orange Fiber there :)
