While I’m sure she’s exaggerating the extent to which internet speeds are dragging (this being the Germany that had the strongest economy of its peers, whether East or West, during the Cold War), it’s noteworthy that the German government approved the use of Huawei gear, the foundations of which are ripped off from Cisco and the carcass of Nortel, whose tech was cloned down to the last detail. You have to wonder what the SPD is thinking, if it’s thinking.

My sister and brother-in-law lived in Germany for many years, he was a civilian NATO employee.
Their house was one of the few with a landline, the wait time was YEARS for a phone line.
His boss, the base Commander was on the wait list, they enjoyed telling him he could use their phone in an emergency.
Cell phones have become very popular in Germany for some reason.
