Hello,
we are currently interested in building a house and are therefore looking for plots of land. These are mostly located in new development areas - since we do not live in a metropolis and do not necessarily want to move there, all suitable plots are in smaller towns. Since this is also currently the case and we are blessed with a 400,000 DSL connection, this does not necessarily mean anything. Nevertheless, I am having massive difficulties in inquiring about the internet speed. Many like to refer to "yeah, we have to see once the house is built" - I actually wonder who still builds houses nowadays if the available speed might be 16 MBIT or lower. Who is responsible for this?
For example, the plots in the [Grünen Ring] are currently interesting: xn--grner-Ring-beb.de
However, due to the aforementioned problem, everything is relatively difficult. I have had preliminary telephone conversations with Telekom, but they couldn’t tell me much and pointed out that they urgently need a street & house number. These simply do not exist yet. Both the Beta and the HBS company stated that Telekom & Unitymedia had laid fiber optics in the development area. So I got in touch with Telekom again (anyway, way too often by now...). They do not know anything about such a development area, and they definitely cannot confirm fiber optics; in the surrounding area, there is copper. Each contact at Telekom told me something different about the possible speed. There are only two development areas in the region that will be expanded this year, and this one is not included. I also contacted Unitymedia, but they couldn’t tell me anything about it either; they don’t know the development area and are not even willing to check without a street & house number - that would make no sense. Finally, I got in touch with the responsible municipality, but even there: "Telekom is laying or has been laying fiber optics there since January this year. We do not know more." I seriously wonder how such statements can be made - are they inventing heaps of things to sell the plots? Is Telekom simply completely incompetent? Who would have to know which lines are now installed in the development area and what speed is possible?
Looking forward to feedback.
Best regards
