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.

Rogers has sent me numerous love Emails to stop by priating ways.. If my area had DSL or other option ( other then dial up currently.. but will have wirless in a year or so with ILS ) I would switch if they're not going to continually play big brother.. I pay for the net access.. not a E-babysitter.

I just upgraded my rogers (literally 30 min ago) to the extreme high speed from the regular high speed and what a night and day difference! I've more than doubled the speed from my old connection (based on a online speed test). The pages load up instantly. I'm gonna test it on a large file tonight and really see how much time it saves.

I'm paying less for the extreme service than what I paid for the regular high speed service. The savings I got is offsetting the cost of the modem purchase.

I can only imagine what this German connection will be like! 10 times faster than rogers!
