> For reference, my last flat in Berlin (the capital of the largest economy in the EU), on the ground on a main street in the city center, was serviced with approximately 14MBps ADSL, and this was the fastest offering available from any vendor.
14Mbps in Berlin? How is this possible?
I had 20Mbps in Mexico City almost a decade ago. A family member who lived in the same building at the time had 100Mbps symmetrical.
Mostly policy. Spain deployed a lot of fiber in the las 10 years that we've got little towns with multiple symmetric 600mbps offerings. If it can be done in Spain, it can be done in Germany.
No, 14mbps in Berlin is an outlier.
The average bandwidth in Germany is higher than that.
In my city in large areas i can get 400mbps via cable and 250mbps via VDSL.
Pretty soon cable providers in Germany will upgrade their entire network to DOCSIS 3.1 enabling gbit bandwidth.
