These threads always just reinforce how much of a cunt Helmut Kohl was, god damn
Edit:
Bit of context in case people who come across this comment don’t know, Helmut Kohl was the german chancellor from 1982-1998.
He completely trashed his predecessors plans for nationwide fiber in order to advance TV instead. Now it’s 2023 and a staggering 19% of all households are connected via fiber.
Worst part about the cable is the packet loss. It’s legit better to get a slow DSL connection in Germany than a faster cable internet because the packet loss makes RTC unusable

That sounds awfully familiar.
Huh, didn’t know that before. What is it with politicians and avoiding foresight?
