Do you use:

• Glass Fiber
• DSL
• Cellular

I use cellular internet at home via my Tenda AX1800 5G SIM router; I have two SIM cards, the main one for my phone and a secondary one for my router; both run on the same contract.

We do not currently have access to glass fiber where I live, in Berlin.

DSL is too slow, it runs at a maximum of 25 mbit/s where I live.

My cellular router runs, during good weather, at a speed of up to 380/500 mbit/s and the upload is usually around 15 - 25 mbit/s.

90 € per month for unlimited data and calling within the European Union.

None of the above.

Cable-TV systems in Germany have been upgraded at some point to allow bi-directional data transmission as well, so that's what I'm using right now.

Compared to the above, it's probably closest to DSL in some ways. DSL started off as a way to have high-speed data transmission on top of existing telephone lines, without interfering with the telephone stuff. Cable-TV-internet is similar in the sense that it's using wiring that was originally meant for something else, and still allows this original service to exist undisturbed.

Also, similar to DSL, cable-TV-internet has asymmetric speeds -- download-rates are considerably higher than upload rates.

My parents use DSL that goes through the telephone box... probably something similar to what you are using.

They're limited to around 25 mbit/s, on a good day.

Since that is too slow for me I decided to use cellular via my SIM router; far more unstable as it depends on the weather, but also faster.
