It's not just Germany. Tons of places in the US have crappy internet connection. I'm average 2-3Mbps on really good days, on a bad day, I see below 1. On Comcast, $40 a month plan, suppose to be at least 10Mbps, it's not my modem. I was getting up to 15Mbps when I was paying $80 and suppose to get 50Mbps. It's oversubscribed or capped by Comcast. No competition, no other providers.
- ravenstine 7y agoGood grief! I'm using a small ISP that gets me ~250Mbps, but it would be more like 500Mpbs if I didn't buy a cheap router. In fact, they told me they'll be offering gigabit plans next year. And I thought I was getting screwed when I could only get 120Mbps with Spectrum Cable.
- segmondy 7y agoI'm in a major city too, not in a rural area. It's freaking ridiculous. I have learned to live with it. At one point, I was using my phone. Downloading things to a VPS and when I visit my folks, I'll download from my VPS to a usb stick. In 2020! If I liked downtown tho 15 minutes away where there's competition, I'll have Wow cable or fiber and much better service. Comcast is garbage.
