Calling Germany the 3rd best for digital nomads is the biggest indicator that this list can go directly into the garbage.

Yeah lmao our laws regarding the internet are utter bogshit. And I don't mean censorship. We straight up have outdated copyright and usage laws made by geriatric old politicians who have no internet understanding

It's still "Neuland" ยฏ_(ใƒ„)_/ยฏ

Also, your broadband and mobile network is also pretty bad as far as Europe goes, especially compared to all your neighbours.

Our mobile contracts are a joke and absolutely unusable unless one pays absurd prices. And even then our "Unlimited" plans quickly get throttled into unusability.

That's sad to hear. I had hoped that with cities such as Berlin, Munich and Hamburg, the Internet infrastructure would have improved

It imporved, but new software also requires better internet all the time. Hence it has to improve much faster. The good part is fiber is starting to be deployed on scale finally. Also 5g is actually deployed much faster then the previous standards, which makes catching up possible. However a lot of service providers do not offer it and it costs way more then in other EU countries.
