I moved back to Spain because of family stuff. Moved into a new place on the 5th. Made a contract with the ISP 1&1 on Oct 5. Cancelled it on Oct 7 because their system somehow ignored the "started kit" a pen-drive with 50GB till your connection date. Made a new contract the same day and was given Oct 19 for the connection day. Last night I received a SMS that they moved the connection date to the 26th.

I can get internet in Spain within 3 days and that's 500MB symmetric and not some lame 100MB/60 MB in a CITY in the technology country Germany. They literally just fucked up an entire weekend of streaming including my b-day stream.

But that's just the ISP. A lot more going on. I cannot wait to leave this place again and I say that as a German... go figure.

Same in Belgium, in Denmark... to get a new internet connection is a very big deal and can take even months. They are just useless.

meanwhile, in Bulgaria, Serbia and Bosnia you can have 100mbit+ optic fibre hooked up, including dudes coming and drilling holes through your walls, within about 3 days, and you'll pay less than 20eur/month for it.

i couldn't stand living in western europe, it's gone completely mad. i was in england for a year recently too, don't miss it one bit.
