Agreed. The article's a rant with little content (the Telekom 'no flatrates anymore' move IS crap, but only mentioned once). There are usually good options available and usually you're up and running quite fast. I can recommend NetCologne (local, dsl/fiber), UnityMedia (cable) and 1&1 (Vodafone reseller) as providers of very nice, very dumb pipes. The author obviously is frustrated and annoyed. That's okay, it happens. A rant might even help. But I wonder why that ends up on this site here: The internet in Germany isn't going away and is, frankly, quite usable and widely available.

If you are limited to a specific download volume, then it's not really a flat rate, right? In my region are zero options, as the telekom refuses to give out lines (see article) Widely available - i was living at various places in germany and the only place which gave me a good connection was Frankfurt. I am now living near munich, its just crap. The internet isn't going away, nobody said so. But it's in danger to become a two-class internet full of service providers who a) pay to telekom for "managed services" or b) don't pay to telekom. I complain about not respecting "Netzneutralität".
