    Cries in 0,1 Gbit/s cause DE sucks ass. Won’t get fibre for years, but hey at least 100m away the municipality has fibre and the schools 1km away will get connected next year. They just put the cables around my street.

      I’m fortunate enough to get 1gig through Vodafone, but even then the upload speed sucks so bad. Every time I see Telekom speeds I feel so bad for the guys that can’t get Vodafone. I keep looking at houses outside the city and the infrastructure is awful. I keep seeing 20mb as maximum on the house listing!

      Would be a welcome competition for Google fibre to come here, but as far as I know they only ever did the US right?

        I’d never trade my VDSL 250 for anything TV cable based, at least where I live. It could be 10 Gbit/s and I wouldn’t care. Some neighbors have Vodafone cable and it’s probably the most unreliable internet service ever. Also, latency is higher. Of course depending where you live, ymmv.

        Choosing an internet provider based on the advertised download speeds is like choosing a camera based on megapixels.

        All that being said, copper is obviously crap no matter the tech, and I’m happy that Deutsche Glasfaser will most likely offer real FTTH in the coming years, which means we’ll get high-quality, fast connections.

        Yeah, Vodafone DOCSIS is OKish. Had that in another flat some years ago, but random reconnects occured all the time. Right now 1und1 being fucktards too. I wanted to move my 250Mbit/s DSL, but couldn’t do it online. Had to call, end of story I had a brand new 100Mbit/s contract and my old 250 one was still active at the old address… Took like 10 calls and many hours to fix this. Still don’t have the Instant Starter Kit with LTE. Gonna call them later…
