That's also the list of countries that have better internet than Australia.

Last I remember, the Baltic states have better internet than most of Europe and the US.

Yo, german bro here. When I go by train from my village Willich to fucking Düsseldorf I lose connection 2 times, going 10 kilometers into the state capital.

My friend in Wesel can't reliably call his clients by car cause it's just a connectivity minefield around there.

Send help

Germany is so far behind with wifi coverage, it's insane. Fiber is also rare outside of the hotspots. I volunteered in a refugee center once and an ongoing joke among them was how war-torn Syria had better internet connection than Germany lol

I really don't get it, if we in France did it, why not Germany?

Old farts in charge don't care about it. Merkel has promised full net coverage a couple times but oh well. It's definitely better than it was before, but there are still lots of areas where there is work to be done. As our saying goes: Deutschlands Mühlen mahlen langsam. (Germany's mills grind slowly)

Used to have. Now it's just better than the US and UK lol

[-] miss_brainfart@lemmy.ml 13 points 1 year ago

Oh no, still better than Germany. Worlds better.

Yes, Germany might be the only western country worse than Australia

We don't talk about German internet, just like we don't talk about Belgian..... anything
