      Last I remember, the Baltic states have better internet than most of Europe and the US.

        Yo, german bro here. When I go by train from my village Willich to fucking Düsseldorf I lose connection 2 times, going 10 kilometers into the state capital.

        My friend in Wesel can’t reliably call his clients by car cause it’s just a connectivity minefield around there.

          Germany is so far behind with wifi coverage, it’s insane. Fiber is also rare outside of the hotspots. I volunteered in a refugee center once and an ongoing joke among them was how war-torn Syria had better internet connection than Germany lol

              Old farts in charge don’t care about it. Merkel has promised full net coverage a couple times but oh well. It’s definitely better than it was before, but there are still lots of areas where there is work to be done. As our saying goes: Deutschlands Mühlen mahlen langsam. (Germany’s mills grind slowly)
