This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Because it’s more profitable to charge people without upgrading the infrastructure. That’s how privatized systems work. It used to be about building a better product to attract consumers, now it’s about squeezing consumers for the most profit and minimizing costs.
At 1Gbps, I think ours is one of the fastest in this part of Germany...
my goodness - I saw this pretty pretty long back.
Uh, most don't. But 1 Gb is common in cities, while the many villages have at least 100 Mb.
Thanks, this reminded me that I should check the competition for now. It's not as well designed infra as in Switzerland, but I should check for an open fibre that has several service providers.
Western & south Europe (not exactly all countries) has fibre in like remote villages.
My inlaws live in a small village (pop. 60) just outside of a small town (pop. 2793) in central Portugal, and have a good fiber connection.
And ever since DIGI came into the portuguese market last year, I have had a 1 gigabit fiber connection at home and 2 cellphones with unlimited data plans for €20/month. And it's going down to €19 this month :)
