Hello everyone!
The first obstacle has come up: In our temporary accommodation, where we plan to live during the construction phase, there is no DSL connection available for us.
In the region, a provider (Inexio, formerly Quix) has expanded their network, and I was able to order broadband from them – but I just received an order confirmation stating that the technology at our installation address is not yet deployed, and they can’t give us a scheduled activation date. 🙄
That’s just great – selling connections without having the capacity. Talking to support revealed that the distribution point (cabinet) at our address is full, so they’d have to expand it first, but whether and when that will happen is unclear.
Via the national telecom provider, we get 2 Mbit down, which is not enough for working.
Now we have two options: a Gigacube from Vodafone or something similar (are there other providers like this?), or Starlink.
Edit: Luckily, LTE is available at the address.
Starlink, of course, has high initial costs. And their website provides very little information, despite asking for consent to charge about 700€ (euros) with just two clicks.
Does anyone here have experience with Starlink (or Gigacube) and can share their experience?
Good luck,

If necessary, ask the new neighbors which solution they went with (or if they are sticking with the 2 Mbps).If the cable distribution box is full, they will probably proudly talk about their VDSL connection. 😀

Via Telekom, we get 2 Mbps download speed, I don’t understand this: a port is a port – if it is available for you when you choose Telekom, then you should be able to use another provider on it as well, right (?)

You might also want to look into LTE directional antennas. They can significantly improve performance in some cases. LTE directional antennas, there is really something for everything. Thanks, I will definitely research that as well.

Telekom basically can’t do anything in that area, which is why their connection is only 2 Mbit (about 2.2 Mbps).
The other provider has their own infrastructure; they’ve really dug and expanded there, offering “up to 100 Mbit” (about 110 Mbps), which we ordered – but in the order confirmation, we got the note saying “we can’t activate it right now because the technology is still missing.” So it’s a bit iffy.
But I know that my family is connected through the regional provider in their respective homes because Telekom simply doesn’t have a proper offer.
