Ok. If the meter is located in the handover cabinet, the matter looks a bit different. Then a maximum voltage drop of 3% applies up to the last luminaire and 5% up to the socket. Then the 70mm² is definitely oversized. I can recalculate that again tomorrow.
Up to the box, the utility company lays its cable, over which you have no influence (neither on the cable type nor on the cross-section). Usually, they lay NAYY (correct, that is aluminum) because it is cheaper. From the box onward, copper is usually used (NYY).
The difference between the two cable types is as follows:
4x35/16 means 4 cores of 35 mm² each + an outer braid with a cross-section of 16 mm².
4x70/35 means 4 cores of 70 mm² each + an outer braid with a cross-section of 35 mm².
The outer braid is like a kind of 5th core, which is braided around the other 4 and is reduced in cross-section. This can be used because in 5-core applications the protective conductor (PE) can possibly be reduced in cross-section.
As said, in my opinion, this is not necessary, because the 5th core can be completely omitted up to the house distribution. Inside the house, as mentioned, 5-core wiring must be used. This is necessary so that protective devices such as the residual current device (RCD) function properly.
