I know about this issue so it's great that something is being done about it, but the page really needs a text explainer instead of the just a video.

Isn't that exactly what is below the video in the "What is this about?" section?

That's only a very vague description.

The only ISP I have access to is Deutsche Telekom and I often have problems with websites loading slowly. A few more years before other ISPs can provide internet in my new development area. I can't understand, why they are allowed to have a monopoly in some areas.

Germany always surprise me with continuous contradiction in their society.

Largest economy in eu but very unstable and riddled with wierd burocracy.

Strongest worker protection, but very large amount of lobbysm.

Most advanced railway system in eu, transformed into a joke by interdiction from said lobbies.

You have to pay a "radio tax" to help funding press and keep it independent, but then fuck net neutrality.

And I could continue with more point, but I don't want to get too political.

Do you know similarly large, democratic societies without contradictions?

The one that always gets me is security and privacy paranoid and lecture me on the Stasi and using iOS but then goes and uses unpatched rotten old Android and sticks fingers in ears. Nearly every German I know does this and I know a lot of Germans as half my family is German and my ex-partner is German.

Complaining about net neutrality in 2026 with yt videos. What a joke by pseudo-"hackers."

It's called being pragmatic, are you going to sponsor the bandwidth needed so it can be hosted on a sustainable indie server?

Telekom is well known for the crappy service - but they have a de facto monopoly. For example, when it rains, the line goes down where I live.

Solution: I got my Starlink. 3x speed. No crappy service. Weather independent. And surprinsingly cheaper ( 40 euros vs 45 ) .

[ as much as I do not like Musk & co, this is a real useful thing he build for the mankind - internet everywere from sattelite ]

Not sure it’s the same issue but in Hungary they (DT) refuse to use Cloudflare so in peak hours every single site outside the country loads incredibly slow because of the constant re-routing
