Broadband Saga

We're not sure yet, but maybe, just maybe, we might have internet access in our new home from tonight / tomorrow. Our internet story is a sad one, so here are just the high (or should that be low) lights:

• Early May: Ordered 16 Mbit broadband access (DSL in German), including telephone flat rate for Germany and UK calls. Confirmation letter from DSL company to confirm new phone number.
• One or two weeks later (not sure due to not actually living at that address yet): Received letter from DSL company that due to technical issues it is unfortunately not possible to provide broadband access.
• End of May: Discussion with neighbours confirms worst fears, exactly three roads in Neutraubling got glass fibre cables about 10 years ago, including ours. Need good old-fashioned copper cables for broadband - ie no one able to offer anything above basic modem speed or maybe ISDN via land lines. Cable company can offer TV but no internet access . Bummer (or personal choice of extreme expletive).
  
• Beginning of June: Considering Satellite option. Turns out to be very expensive (80 Euros or so per month, for 2 Mbit, plus hardware & installation costs).
• One week ago: Ordered mobile broadband (via mobile operator), supposedly up to 7 Mbit. Three days later, they deliver the wrong hardware. Everything has to be returned.
  
• Today: New hardware has been delivered. Maybe, just maybe it's the right one, the details are correct, and on top of everything, the signal is strong enough (neighbours sceptical).

Will it work? No idea, but watch this space.
