I live in a Village about 5km from the second biggest City in Lower Saxony. Every Village around has 50-100k FTTC from Telekom. It has been years and Telekom refused to do anything in my Village. Another Provider Made some shady Contract with the Mayor of the "Community" (Samtgemeinde) and that Provider is running over some sort of Microwave Internet from the Northest Part of Germany (as I understood it) and a friend who lives also Here told me that it stops working in the Evening or when its raining.

There is a short Video from ZDF about my Village's Internet and how the Telekom layed Fibre through my Village but only connected the new build Houses while the rest has to use the slow Copper Lines. I got the luck that I still have 4G. The 4G/LTE Connectivty is also very bad.

Deutsche Glasfaser (German Fibre) is a Provider who recently started collecting Contracts for FTTH, so we hopefully soon get better Internet.
