Calling Germany the 3rd best for digital nomads is the biggest indicator that this list can go directly into the garbage.
Yeah lmao our laws regarding the internet are utter bogshit. And I don't mean censorship. We straight up have outdated copyright and usage laws made by geriatric old politicians who have no internet understanding
Also, your broadband and mobile network is also pretty bad as far as Europe goes, especially compared to all your neighbours.
Our mobile contracts are a joke and absolutely unusable unless one pays absurd prices. And even then our "Unlimited" plans quickly get throttled into unusability.
The business offers are pretty good. Its like 15โฌ/M for real Unlimited and full Speed. And even has 2 Sim cards included.
But the reception and speed you get are not very good overall once you leave cities, the best provider is only a bit better than the worst..
thanks CDU, having to spend lots of money for frequency rights really helped get better service.
That's sad to hear. I had hoped that with cities such as Berlin, Munich and Hamburg, the Internet infrastructure would have improved
It imporved, but new software also requires better internet all the time. Hence it has to improve much faster. The good part is fiber is starting to be deployed on scale finally. Also 5g is actually deployed much faster then the previous standards, which makes catching up possible. However a lot of service providers do not offer it and it costs way more then in other EU countries.
The 5G thing will stop once the AfD is in power, because they believe it's some mind control tool.
That's good news!
It's still "Neuland" ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
