Or if you're in Berlin, you lose your internet connection inside the large city as well. Seems to have improved greatly in the last two or three years though.

Travelling between cities in Australia by train you'd be lucky to have (mobile phone) internet for 5% of the trip.

thb it is very dependent on the location.

ie. i get good 4g signal in most of the forests in bavaria but no signal at all in the lobby of my local hospital.

My impression of German infrastructure is that it is 15 years behind their neighbours, in basically all areas.
