    Also, your broadband and mobile network is also pretty bad as far as Europe goes, especially compared to all your neighbours.

        The business offers are pretty good. Its like 15€/M for real Unlimited and full Speed. And even has 2 Sim cards included.
        But the reception and speed you get are not very good overall once you leave cities, the best provider is only a bit better than the worst…
        thanks CDU, having to spend lots of money for frequency rights really helped get better service.

        That’s sad to hear. I had hoped that with cities such as Berlin, Munich and Hamburg, the Internet infrastructure would have improved

          with cities such as Berlin, Munich and Hamburg

          I remember my vacations to Finland in the 2010s. You’d drive 45 minutes on a gravel backroad, but you’d have LTE coverage and unlimited volume with some 20ish Euro prepaid card from a shop at the ferry dock. That was absolutely weird as a German to me back then and it still would feel unusual now.

          This country has been clinging to the, I don’t know, 90s when things were remembered as somewhat okay and now there’s about 30% of the people trying to steer it back to the 1930s instead of forward. We’re fucked and on the best road to a has-been.

          It imporved, but new software also requires better internet all the time. Hence it has to improve much faster. The good part is fiber is starting to be deployed on scale finally. Also 5g is actually deployed much faster then the previous standards, which makes catching up possible. However a lot of service providers do not offer it and it costs way more then in other EU countries.
