Objectively German internet speeds are lower than other countries, but do Germans really mind the speeds, or just the lack of coverage? I did IT for a 50 employee company that happily shared a 10Mbit fiber link. Email, browsing, YouTube videos — subjectively, nothing felt “slow,” and no one had to verbally coordinate usage with other employees “can you stop watching YouTube, I need to download a windows update”. 200kbps per employee was just fine. These days I work from gigabit fiber, but recently at a coffee shop I had to tether over a 110kbps Bluetooth connection. Despite the noticeable page-load times, I was able to work effectively for hours, no complaints. I would say the average speeds the article derides are already incredibly usable.
