@IAmFox @lizziewriter and with #Boradband it's even more important to have #OpenAccess for customers.

In fact, §73 Section 3 of German Telco Law [ https://dejure.org/gesetze/TKG/73.html ] REQUIRES providers to allow customers to choose their #Modems [or whatever #CPE equivalent] with no discrimination and have to provide their clients with all the necessary parameters to do so when signing up.

The only exception are spectrum violations and damages caused by it being non-compliant with mandatory standards.

@dajbelshaw interesting journey!

What comes to my mind when comparing #5G with 4G: 5G has (by design) lower range and higher electricity consumption.

Interesting is also the difference between classic copper #boradband and full fibre connection. The later is not only faster but also has a better #co2 footprint.

So, your friend did a good catch with the full fibre connection.
