I will change my Internet provider soon to Kabel Deutschland because my DSL line at home has the speed not higher than 3 megabits per second. That is why I informed me recently about offers of Kabel Deutschland and found out that if I get a contract, I’ll get once 100 text messages for free. I do not know how long this offer is valid, but if someone, like me, has the similar problem with the power of the DSL line, and want to change the provider then the package of 100 SMS for those could be perhaps an extra incentive.
In the time of the free video-on-demand with DVD-quality you can not do really much with a line of 3 Mbit. No idea what the providers thinking about, but I think it is high time to invest in the infrastructure. Or maybe they are waiting until Deutsche Telekom gives them an access to VDSL lines?
