Congrats to Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Poland, Czechia, and Slovakia for making the cut

That's also the list of countries that have better internet than Australia.

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.

Send help

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

I really don't get it, if we in France did it, why not Germany?

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)

Used to have. Now it's just better than the US and UK lol

[-] miss_brainfart@lemmy.ml 13 points 7 months ago

Oh no, still better than Germany. Worlds better.

[-] matter@lemmy.world 12 points 7 months ago

Yes, Germany might be the only western country worse than Australia

[-] Mr_Blott@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago

We don't talk about German internet, just like we don't talk about Belgian..... anything

[-] Nihilistra@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

Tell me about belgian fishing, going to live in Trier right beneath the border and german fishing laws a catastrophic so I will practice catch and release in Belgium!
