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.

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?

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.
