A couple of years ago, my friend bought... IIRC, a 40 MB wireless connection to his and his partner's new second, weekend home in the Eifel Mountains of Germany. (There was no reasonable wired option.)

I forget the exact details, but again IIRC it was well under 100 € / month (40?, 60?) and unmetered.

I was jealous.

Maybe I'm mis-remembering, but it fell into my mental category of "Europeans now getting a lot more and better connectivity for a lot less".

Contrasted with a decade or two earlier, when telecom prices over there seemed to be quite relatively high (compared to the U.S.).

P.S. Pinged him to check the details.
