It's a lot better than Australian internet. I'm getting 20-50mbps
I had 2Mbps (yes, bits, not bytes) until 2020. Then I moved out. Pretty sure that my parents house still only gets that same speed. And this is in fucking Germany, a pretty densely populated country.
As a Swede, I usually get well above 3 Mbit/s on 3G, and I have a 100/100 Mbit/s fiber that I often use to its full potential, and that's with a VPN on. I really thought Germany had better infrastructure.
I'm sure I'd get a faster speed than that in a piece of string.
Honestly that sounds like the cable was damaged, was that really the actual target speed?
Yes, genuinely target speed. Germany is just incredibly behind when it comes to the internet.
That sucks too...
I can ONLY get 1gbit, where i live. (Denmark)
Denmark is also around 1/200th of the size of the us.
Wow I had that in 2008. Damn that sucks. You can't even stream 4K HDR video.
I'm fine with 1080p tbh. Also If I really wanted to stream 4k I could use data (around 80mbps 4G)
