You’re facing challenges with internet quality in Germany compared to Switzerland. Your current setup offers 1Gb fiber with low latency, but you’re experiencing slower speeds and higher ping. You have two options: a 2GB plan (500MB) or DSL (250MB). Your experience shows ping between 40-60 and instability. You want to improve stability and speed, focusing on consistent performance rather than maximum bandwidth. You’ve tried using tools like PingPlotter but need clearer guidance. Look for tutorials on measuring latency and jitter, and consider extended testing sessions to spot patterns. Good resources include network diagnostic guides and community forums focused on German internet usage.
For suggestions like this, it's wise to consult neighbors about their methods and insights—not only regarding service quality but also support. If possible, I’d prefer fiber over cable, and cable over DSL. DSL is being retired in most areas except rural spots where phone lines remain and other connections aren’t cost-effective for providers. Also, DSL performs better when you’re near the ISP’s data center. Are you running these tests over Ethernet or Wi‑Fi? I see your apartment makes wireless unreliable, but even with a wired connection from a cable ISP, all units on the same network can slow things down. You can check speed tests at DSLReports for details like jitter and ping.
Unfortunately, this apartment lacks fiber optic connections. My knowledge of the neighbors is limited. The DSLReports history shows activity around October 2020 with several entries recorded.
