Should be both up and down, but I'm not uploading much so I can't attest to the accuracy of those claims. Fibre, I think, is comparable in cost (8-9 euro per month), with the added one-time cost of installing the whole thing. But also, fibre, from what I've heard, doesn't need external power supply at all, provided I can power my router with a powerbank or generator.

That said, when comparing costs, you also gotta compare the incomes - I earn about 1200 USD/1150 EUR a month after taxes (all paid in UAH), which is probably a lot lower than you'd get for an office or IT job in western countries.
