That's sad to hear. I had hoped that with cities such as Berlin, Munich and Hamburg, the Internet infrastructure would have improved
I remember my vacations to Finland in the 2010s. You'd drive 45 minutes on a gravel backroad, but you'd have LTE coverage and unlimited volume with some 20ish Euro prepaid card from a shop at the ferry dock. That was absolutely weird as a German to me back then and it still would feel unusual now.
This country has been clinging to the, I don't know, 90s when things were remembered as somewhat okay and now there's about 30% of the people trying to steer it back to the 1930s instead of forward. We're fucked and on the best road to a has-been.
It imporved, but new software also requires better internet all the time. Hence it has to improve much faster. The good part is fiber is starting to be deployed on scale finally. Also 5g is actually deployed much faster then the previous standards, which makes catching up possible. However a lot of service providers do not offer it and it costs way more then in other EU countries.
The 5G thing will stop once the AfD is in power, because they believe it's some mind control tool.
That's good news!
