The average surfing speed with the provider 1&1 is currently only 5.8 Mbit/s, which falls well short of the capabilities of modern Internet connections.

In the context of fiber optic expansion, it is important to note that Germany lags behind other countries such as South Korea and Japan in an international comparison. The federal government has declared fiber optic expansion to be a key concern, with over 87% of fiber optic connections being built by private companies and only 13% being state-funded.

The expansion in Bavaria aims to create gigabit-capable network infrastructure across the board by 2025. Appropriate funding programs are also being set up in rural areas to improve the digital infrastructure.
