That's weird, DSL is the most common way of going online in Germany and many providers offer 20-200 Mbit connections

My current ILEC "offers" 100 Mbit DSL, but you have to be within a certain distance of their main infrastructure (I forget what it's called. DMARC, maybe?)

This means it offers 100 Mbit service, but at my house it actually maxes out at 8 Mbit.

DSLAM: Digital subscriber line access multiplexer

That's probably the device you're looking for.
