Hello everyone. I have just arrived in Heidelberg, DE and I do not know what is the best cellphone, landline, cable and internet company is the best.
If anyone knows please reply.
P.S- If your in the army/live on a base please reply! I live on the base.

Edit:
I forgot to mention i need some good internet for gaming online and on an Xbox 360 Elite.

for gaming I have amazing latency with Deutsche Telekom + Fastpath (costs 1€ extra per month). It is one of the more expensive providers, but seems good to me :-)
As an example, I get 11ms on World of Warcraft(EU Server), and usually about 15-20ms on Counterstrike inside Germany, or about 20-30ms in other parts of Europe.

Doesn't the army have its own special deals/specific provider? At least I am sure that used to be the case many years ago for the bases near Frankfurt.
GlennQuagmire
yes there is one, Jay, but its a plan of either 20 or 60 MBps and im not sure if that is good. Prices are too high.
Elfenstar i ask locals for the best so i wont take a fail. I know not much about this.
Kätzchen i, in a matter of fact, am a hardcore CS:S gamer. in my case i need to ping back to the states.
Kätzchen
expect high (150 at best I would say) latency to stateside servers, no matter which public provider you choose. If you pm me a server address over there I can try css out tonight and let you know what the latency is.
GlennQuagmire
thanks for the info.
sorry i cant do that because my computer has not arrived yet. it is still shipping from the states.
i have all my info on it and i do not remember anything.
oh yeah, i play gmod also.
GlennQuagmire
Not to double post but Katzchen what is your provider?
