Deutsche Telekom have just announced that they will be rolling out 50 Mbit/s connection in 50 cities around Germany by 2007.

By mid-2006 the first 10 cities will be connected to the new fiber network, covering around 2.9m households.

More immediately there will be a free six week trial starting in Hamburg and Stuttgart which will run at 25 Mbit/s. If you're interested, you'd better sign up at their site quickly - it's expected to fill up fast (not surprisingly).

Project 'Lightspeed', as they refer to it internally, will give Germany a leading position in Europe for broadband speeds. The project will provide fiber to the curb and will cost them up to Euro 38.
