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,
kati1337

Well, if that’s not enough for someone to figure out the exact distance to the nearest bakery again ;-) Damn it – I really have to leave this forum. Nowhere else online am I this careless as here. 😉

Off topic: I don’t have children myself, but is it okay for kids to go to bed that late? ;-) That means you have to keep them entertained for quite a while. 🙂 Putting them to bed earlier is possible, but it doesn’t help. At most, you get a crying, unhappy baby 😉
And even though I’d like to have free evenings, there are advantages. For example, no one has to get up at 5:30 a.m. on Saturday. Also, we can still go to the climbing gym in the evening, which would be difficult if bedtime was at 7.

Darn it – I have to leave this forum after all. Nowhere else on the internet am I as careless as I am here. 😉I think that’s because, in my opinion, we’re all so likeable and friendly here. Except when it comes to matters of taste. Sometimes we forget: De gustibus et coloribus non est disputandum (“There’s no arguing about taste and colors”). 🙂 (I had to include the Latin since it came up on Google before the German translation. ;-) I couldn’t resist, even though I’m not a Latin expert myself, much to my regret.)

If you have O2 coverage, get the O2 Free Unlimited Max plan instead of paying the regular price (€60) by using a friends referral code to get it for €30. The price applies as long as you keep the plan. Although it’s a 2-year contract, the price-performance ratio is unbeatable. Since it’s a regular plan, you could also use it later as your mobile phone plan. SMS and unlimited calls are included, and it also supports 5G. 🙂
