You should live in Germany, then you would see the point…phone contracts are extreme expensive (50€ per months for 20GB), 5G is slower than LTE (ok, that’s almost everywhere), some towns don‘t even have 4G (I know a town, when you are outside of it, you have perfect 4G connection, in the centre of the town you have no connection at all…)

Oh, and on the WiFi side there is Telekom, which is mostly reliable and own over 90% of the DSL lines, also some glas fiber (but the glas fiber infrastructure is shit anyways), but they are expensive (I pay 45€ per month for 100MB/s download ._.), and there Vodafone, whose DSL contracts are not really cheaper because they rent them from Telekom (O2 does the same), but they have bought some cable TV companies, so they can give you fast, cheap Internet through that (not where I live, here is a local company, completely unreliable), but Vodafone internet is shit, most people have many problems with them…

So it is either expensive or unrealiable, you choose 😄

Wow I would’ve thought you guys would be like super connected with fancy fiber lines all over the place and like prototype cell towers with complete coverage over every single inch of the country.
