The situation in Greece is really dire if they think Germany's internet connectivity is much better than there.


Uh, perhaps I was too long away, perhaps I'm too old, but what's wrong with Internet connectivity in Germany?

I got here (town of less then 25k souls) 100Mbps (the least I could realistically chose) last year, RTT to nearest google server is 22ms (116ms to Amazon though). There's some commotion in town to get us each 1Gbps (which is IMHO absurd). Took a while to install it (partly due to history of the premise), but I don't think it has been down since I got it.

Honestly, if it is any worse than Internet in the S.F. Bay area, I haven't noticed it yet.


it's not much better, but it's good enough to the point that is not a blocker.
