“just move lmao”
Germany is shit for Internet connections…
Expensive and slow…
How slow?
How expensive?
I pay about 50€ for 250 Mbit/s unlimited in the city, which is one of the faster reasonable options available.
I pay $65 for 45 Mb/s in the city here in the US. I would love 250 at this point. The apartments a quarter mile away have fiber though. I’m not salty at all.
Holy shit, where do you live? In Oklahoma City, you can get gigabit for $100/mo. In certain places, a local competitor offers gigabit fiber service for $85/mo. We can’t pay the setup cost for fiber just yet, but plan to jump on in the next year or two. For now, we have cable Internet at 500 Mbps for $70/mo.
The Internet in my area has got way better very fast though. We were paying $60 for 25 Mbit back in '17. When we got the opportunity to go up to 150 Mbit, I was blown away. It’s still cool downloading huge games in like 20 minutes. When I had 5 Mbit in '14, downloading a big game was something you started before bed and played the next day when you got off work.
West Fort Worth, TX. Like I said, there’s fiber at the new apartments a quarter mile down (both ATT) the road yet our housing development is DSL of all fucking things. Many parts of FW have fiber and generally better service, but all these telecom back door agreements fuck everyone over. ATT has a monopoly in this area so we have no other choices. It fucking sucks. On top of the trash is the 1.5 terabyte cap, which their fiber service doesn’t have. Make sense of that for me because I sure as hell can’t.
I pay that amount for 1000 Mbit at Vodafone. Shit quality still though.
I think really terrible is Germany’s mobile internet though. Slow, expensive as hell and terrible coverage.Yeah this is Telekom Fiber so at least the connection is stable and low latency. I had Vodafone before but couldn’t game on the connection.
i pay about double that for less than half the speed here in the midwestern u.s., and it goes out for 20 minutes to an hour, or longer, at least twice a week.
I wish. I pay 30€ for ~24 Mbits
45€/month for 250 Mbits/sec in ADSL. 85€ for 1Gbps in optic fiber (250Mbps upload)
I have the ADSL connection, and sometimes in hot summer it disconnects. Same in case of thunderstorm.
Back in France, I had 1Gbps (up and down) optic fiber for 40€, and not a single interruption in 4 years.
Germany is when your ISP sells you1GBit/s for 100€ and then your house has DSL cables inside so you can effectively only use 300MBit/s of it.
Internet connections in Germany are really hit or miss. Some works extraordinary well and some next to not at all. I’m kinda lucky to have a fairly good one.
It’s much the same in the States. I pay $70 a month for 500 Mbps. I live in a suburb connected to Oklahoma’s capitol city. My brother lives in the sticks with no interstate highways within a one hour’s drive. He pays $120 a month for 40 Mbps. This development comes in the wake of dropping his old ISP that provided plans up to 25 Mbps for the same price and required you to sign up for a landline to receive internet services. We grew up there, and when we were kids in 2009, our parents had 256 kbps service. And that was the most they could get. The place is also a dead zone for cell service unless you have Verizon.
I don’t think that they meant „moving“ as in relocating your life somewhere else. The person who wrote that message probably assumed that you had bad mobile internet at that time and suggested you move your ass up a hill for better mobile Internet.
And yeah - mobile Internet is really bad and expensive in Germany in general.
At least we have health insurance.
“Das Internet ist für uns alle Neuland” -Merkel oder so, keine Ahnung, bin keine Kanzlerin
“Your internet is kinda slow. What about just moving to use our service lol”
They mean take your cell phone/tablet/laptop and walk to another room so you get stronger WiFi, not change your address, as can be seen by the context in the next statement “or try with a wired connection”
Of course, that’s pretty obvious. It just makes it sound like suggesting to change your address.
