After recently moving to Berlin from the states I miss Comcast. Not something I ever thought I would say but it's true. Internet plans are expensive, most if not all the reasonably priced ones have data caps and the support is horrible. To get my internet connected not only do you have to wait months but once an appointment is made it is actually impossible to reschedule or cancel it. This is all anecdotal granted but from others I talked to experiences have been similar with DT.

Comcast also has similar caps and customer support is horrible but I pay around US$70/mo for 50Mbit/s downstream compared to something like Kabel Deutschland which seems to offer 100Mbit/s downstream for US$22-44/mo (lower price is promotional for first year). Also, while I bought my own modem and router to avoid Comcast's additional rental fee, the German company includes it in the cost. I don't doubt that they also suck in terms of customer service and will take your word for that since I don't have experience with them. Still, unless there is something I'm missing, it would seem that you can get double what I can get for 2/3 or less cost. (*disclaimer: I only looked into some popular cable internet providers and looked at their site to get a quick overview. If I'm missing some detail that customers would know about, I would not be surprised.)
