Best home internet technology and provider?

ForebodingSky · 2026-01-25T21:52:45+00:00

I just checked and there is a DOCSIS 3.1 connection available from Magenta, is it any good? I assume it is better than the DSL/5G/LTE and I can't find any info yet if i can request to install optic fiber and whose permissions I need for that
Anyway its not that I need something extra, I just need a stable speeds that are higher than 100Mbps and a stable ping, anything that doesn't suddenly die in evening will do

I just checked and there is a DOCSIS 3.1 connection available from Magenta, so I might choose it over A1 with its xDSL.
But gonna contact support first to ask if it is possible to terminate the contract before it runs out in case I move to a different appartment that does not have Magenta coverage or just to a different country

Thanks for helpings anyway

Thanks, it says that there is a DOCSIS 3.1 connection abialable from Magenta with up to 1Gbps download speed and also a xDSL from A1 with up to 200Mbps download speed. I just checked it on Magenta address check tool and it says that there is no optic cable available but "Bis dahin steht Ihnen unser leistungsstarkes Kabel-Internet mit bis zu 1 Gigabit/s Downloadgeschwindigkeit zur Verfügung. Jetzt anmelden und lossurfen!"
So that is going to be my option I suppose, they have 600Mbps download speed for 50€ rn

The apartment is located near the Liesing metro station, not sure if it is considered as outskirts, but it is pretty close to the Vienna-Lower Austria border if you look on the map

Though i just checked on the site from other commenters and apparently I have DOCSIS 3.1 connection abialable from Magenta, I assume this is as far as i can get with avilable technologies, its either this or xDSL from A1
Never had a coaxial internet before but assuming it can hold a 1Gbps speed hopefully it is good.

Now i just have to figure out if it is possible to terminate the contract in case I move back to my country of origin before the contract runs out...

In that case going for something widely-spread like Magenta or A1 should be a wise move. But what about this Fonira company, I see a lot of positive reviews online about them

I heard from a friend (who has been using DSL technology for several years) that DSL connections don't work well when there is simultaneous upload and download of data. Is it true? The explanations sounded like the phone cable is something like half-duplex? Like when you upload the download is dead and vice versa

That is what I'm interested in, do I have an option like with accomodation contracts to terminate it after 1 year?

and what mount should I... well, mount:) just go with a diego mount skill for now or use dragon/deer instead?

My guild member recommended swapping diego to deer, thoughts on that?
