I just have the choice between 6 Mbit DSL (+LTE Hybrid) or cable. I don't want either. Where can you find information about [Telekom's expansion plans]?
But that is a local problem. If you live in well-served areas, downtime should be kept to an absolute minimum (unless you happen to have internet via cable).
Absolutely. All the more frustrating when the neighbor has 1GBit and we ourselves have to make do with a maximum of 18MBit because Telekom is simply an absolute rubbish company. This monopolization in Germany is a real nightmare. Unfortunately, none of the gentlemen and ladies in Berlin understand or care. Thanks to the DigiNetz law, Telekom's position was even further strengthened in the past, indirectly crippling the competition.
Where can one find information about Telekom's expansion plans?
Unfortunately nowhere. You don’t even get information by phone because apparently hardly anyone at Telekom knows themselves. You can register with an email address, then you will be informed when Telekom eventually starts closing the gaps.
On the expansion map, you can select the highspeed expansion option, then planned areas are shown in blue. Also, you can look more closely at certain cities and districts. Try searching for breitbandausbau or Telekom schneller.
