Why not go fibre? Copper is really not worth rolling out, most customers will prefer Fibre anyway. Even for back bone links Fibre will work better.

Such things do work. But you will probably need to get new switches after each storm. Or at least change to another working ethernet port, because the used one will be knocked out by lightning, no matter how many precautions you will take.
In the long run, fiber is cheaper.

ethernet in outdoors gives you many problems because of electrical problems

go fiber, maybe https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethernet_ ... al_network is what you need, check it out

of course if your project is limited to ethernet, use very cheap ehternet switches to make cheaper to repleace it every time they burn

copper based last mile is too bad idea. you need power for every switch, copper is costly, too much prone to hack and electrical interference. though some isp in my country (india) run such network but its a very bad idea nowadays. fiber is cheap man. go for gpon or atleast gepon.
