Because of this forum, the building shell is planned as it currently is. The lower residential floor is to be half embedded into the slope on the valley side. On the open side are the two bedrooms and the main entrance. To the right, the double garage, also partly embedded in the slope. In the slope are the utility room and a bathroom. The ground floor above is planned entirely for living, with terraces and garden access, plus a small bathroom.

Fire away and thank you all.

I am planning to replace my 300L (79 US gallons) tank next year with one measuring 200 x 60 x 60 cm (79 x 24 x 24 inches). It will then house almost exclusively blue Congo tetras. 🙂
But I still need to save up a bit.

I am currently having issues with our telecommunication house connection.
Fiber optic cable has been installed to the house, but the provider is not making progress with further expansion in the area, and it is currently uncertain when the cable will be activated.
I had already commissioned the telecom company in February this year to additionally and as a precaution lay a copper cable to the house.
However, despite several inquiries, the telecom company has shown little effort to break up the street and install the cable.
For now, I am forced to order a mobile home hotspot, mainly because I work from home and absolutely need an internet connection.
Mobile hotspots are significantly more expensive than comparable DSL providers, but we have no other option.
My question is:
Has anyone else experienced similar problems or had this issue in the past? Is there not an obligation for telecommunication providers to supply service?
Or is a mobile data connection sufficient to avoid this obligation?

Does that mean a broadcast van (today, of course, more like a car trailer) will be parked on your street because your house can’t be connected via terrestrial means at the moment?

Hehe, there are also cell towers in the underdeveloped Westpfalz region.
Does anyone else have any ideas?

Unfortunately, I can't contribute anything, but I would still like to ask a question: Who did you build with in the Westpfalz region?

You mentioned a mobile hotspot. If Westpfalz has mobile cell towers, it must be quite well developed. What I meant (and what I imagine by the term mobile hotspot) are, as I said, mini broadcast vehicles—basically access points of terrestrial cell towers housed in a kind of catering trailer that can be parked at the roadside.
