Good one. If you are lucky enough to be in a city. The majority of the cabling and infrasturcure was built by the Deutsche Post, when it was still government-owned. Now nearly all of that belongs to the Telekom, which have a massive tmonopoly, even though they have to rent their cabling too other companys for a low price. Problem is, there are very low infrastructure costs for everyone at the moment, leading to a very very fierce price battle at the internet market, which leaves no money for improvements of the infrastructure.
In short, in Germany many people skipped from Modem/ISDN to LTE because they had no other choice for 15 years than to stay with Dial up connections.
