    Its not unusual for small villages/towns under 1000 population to have fiber optic internet in europe. There are still remote places with shitty connection, but fast and affordable internet is common in the EU.

      In the EU it’s common, but Germany is very bad at it. The most I get is 50Mbit/s over copper wires and I don’t even live in a village.

        That is one of the areas Germany is improving in quickly. In the last two years the share of private residence and offices connected to the fiber network have gone up from 18.3% to 27.3%. With homes passed going up from 35.6% to 52.8%.
