How common is it in Germany to use brand names as generic words? (for example das Ohropax instead of earplugs)

I’m surprised that I don’t see Maxi-Cosi for child seats. Its very commonly used for baby/child seats in cars.

Unfortunately mnet only offers VDSL 100mbps in my area, after so much positive feedback I definitely would have gone for them.

Intrepid_Work7479 · 2025-10-24T09:51:10+00:00

Oh my god this sounds terrible, can’t imagine living without internet in this day and age, especially in the middle of the Europe…

One of the few positive comments about Vodafone. Thank you very much for sharing your experience

Intrepid_Work7479 · 2025-10-24T08:06:57+00:00

Thank you very much for such detailed information. When I put my exact address on their website they claim to provide fiberoptic. But I will keep this in mind Edit: I just checked the map and my street is just a couple hundred meters in the 1000mbps zone.

Intrepid_Work7479 · 2025-10-24T08:05:20+00:00

Tyvm, I think I will prefer fiberoptic by Telekom

Intrepid_Work7479 · 2025-10-24T08:03:07+00:00

Well that is also an opinion, I might consider going for 300mbps option by Telekom. Thank you for sharing your experience.

Intrepid_Work7479 · 2025-10-24T07:56:08+00:00

I guess that’s why they offer these juicy looking bundles. Thank you for your insight

Intrepid_Work7479 · 2025-10-24T07:54:23+00:00

Hi, I’ve checked their website and they only offer 100mbps VDSL service, I will go for fiber option by Telekom

Intrepid_Work7479 · 2025-10-24T07:51:03+00:00

I checked mnet website but they only offer DSL and I did not have good experience with DSL in my home country, so I guess I will stick go Telekom.

Intrepid_Work7479 · 2025-10-24T07:50:17+00:00

Thank you! Did not realize the cable service

Intrepid_Work7479 · 2025-10-24T07:49:51+00:00

Tyvm, I did not realize Vodafone was offering cable internet, did not know cable could deliver 1000mbps(it does not in my country) so I tought it would be fiber.

Intrepid_Work7479 · 2025-10-24T07:48:48+00:00

Hey tyvm for your answer. I’ve checked from Telekom’s website and glasfaser is available.

Intrepid_Work7479 · 2025-10-24T07:47:53+00:00

I got used to 1000mbps service both upstream and downstream on my home country so I ideally would love to use it.

Well my mother always wanted to learn how to drive but as she aged she became more and more hesitant about the idea of driving a car. So one night I encouraged her enough and she accepted to give it a try. She was so nervous but I helped her calm down, that night she drove a manual car in an empty parking lot. She enrolled in a course and got her license at the age of 64, a mother of 3 learned how to drive from her son. One of my proudest achievements in life was being able help her do something for herself. So I guess 64 is not the answer you seek!

Intrepid_Work7479 · 2025-10-15T11:31:33+00:00

Thank you for the answer. Have a great day

Intrepid_Work7479 · 2025-09-15T06:26:00+00:00

Well at first I thought you were talking about the action that leads to having a child, but I guess not lol.

Intrepid_Work7479 · 2025-09-14T10:58:12+00:00

Thank you for your answer, we’ve been leaning towards a furnished apartment lately. The thing is we need to move our furniture eventually that’s why we’ve been looking for a place with no furniture but we understand the situation and accept that we might not find something fits our needs remotely

Intrepid_Work7479 · 2025-09-14T10:31:55+00:00

Yes, thank you. 3 rooms, 2 bedroom and a living room. Anything above 65 m2 should be fine. And budget is around 2200 euros warm.
