"just move lmao"
Germany is shit for Internet connections...
Expensive and slow...
How slow?
How expensive?
45€/month for 250 Mbits/sec in ADSL. 85€ for 1Gbps in optic fiber (250Mbps upload)
I have the ADSL connection, and sometimes in hot summer it disconnects. Same in case of thunderstorm.
Back in France, I had 1Gbps (up and down) optic fiber for 40€, and not a single interruption in 4 years.
Internet connections in Germany are really hit or miss. Some works extraordinary well and some next to not at all. I'm kinda lucky to have a fairly good one.
It's much the same in the States. I pay $70 a month for 500 Mbps. I live in a suburb connected to Oklahoma's capitol city. My brother lives in the sticks with no interstate highways within a one hour's drive. He pays $120 a month for 40 Mbps. This development comes in the wake of dropping his old ISP that provided plans up to 25 Mbps for the same price and required you to sign up for a landline to receive internet services. We grew up there, and when we were kids in 2009, our parents had 256 kbps service. And that was the most they could get. The place is also a dead zone for cell service unless you have Verizon.
Germany is when your ISP sells you1GBit/s for 100€ and then your house has DSL cables inside so you can effectively only use 300MBit/s of it.
I don’t think that they meant „moving“ as in relocating your life somewhere else. The person who wrote that message probably assumed that you had bad mobile internet at that time and suggested you move your ass up a hill for better mobile Internet.
And yeah - mobile Internet is really bad and expensive in Germany in general.
At least we have health insurance.

"Your internet is kinda slow. What about just moving to use our service lol"
They mean take your cell phone/tablet/laptop and walk to another room so you get stronger WiFi, not change your address, as can be seen by the context in the next statement "or try with a wired connection"
Of course, that's pretty obvious. It just makes it sound like suggesting to change your address.
How slow?
How expensive?
