Dream on. What you get depends on where you live. If you live in a city,
perferably in the heart of a large city, then you are right. If you happen
to live in the outskirts, no chance.
Examples from Berlin (German capital) and surrounding areas:
- Berlin outskirts, near the former Berlin wall (1 Mbit/s downstream, 128 kB
upstream)
- regular street but: street surface is sand - when it rains the area
becomes unpassable, have seen more sound streets in Egypt - at least they
were dry...
- Brieselang, 11.000 inhabitants, 15km west of Berlin
- center of town, 1 minute away from train station (3 Mbit/s downstream)
- other, more remote areas: less than 1Mbit/s
- other areas in east Germany (the areas where there are just 20 year old
glass-fibre cables available)
- ISDN available only, no ADSL (max. 2x 64 kbit/s at forbidding cost)
