The city gas network used for domestic gas stoves switched to biogas long ago. So there is still a gas network, but it's not using natural gas any more. It's also not very large these days, so those who still use it will see ever more expensive subscriptions - which eventually will see it gone. Which, I guess, is just as well.

Stoves uses town gas, which is a mixture of methane (either natural gas or biogas) and air. But there is no pure natural gas network.

Probably homes aren’t connected through a gas pipe though. You can even heat with gas in that case but need a lot of storage room for the gas then, so it’s pretty uncommon especially in cities.
