Cultural Tip
In German‑speaking countries broadband is usually measured in Megabit pro Sekunde (Mbit/s). What counts as 'good' depends on usage: casual browsing needs ~5 Mbit/s, HD‑streaming ~15 Mbit/s, 4K‑streaming or online gaming ~25 Mbit/s or more. When speaking with a provider, it's common to specify the desired speed in Mbit/s rather than using vague adjectives.
