Today’s the third time in four days my Internet is offline or unstable because of ISP issues. This really starts to suck, especially when you’re trying to do some home office. Let me explain which Internet options citizens can book here in Germany. We basically only have two larger companies which provide decent speeds ranging from ~50MBit/s to 400MBit/s and together with kinda fair prices. They share the same cable network for that. Telephone line connection sucks **** here at my location, so I’ll not consider that. Situation might be different at any other location. Normally they just provide speeds up to 16MBit/s to 50MBit/s which is the de factor standard for many households not using cable and way too slow for more advanced usage. If you book 50MBit/s there’s still no guarantee that you’ll actually get this speed, but you surely have to pay for it. 🤑

So, either way: cable, unstable with “high speed” or slow robust DSL. What a choice.
