This time in the c't uplink we are talking about how internet connections will develop in the future and which technology is actually suitable in which case. As a rule, this is fiber optic, especially in view of the long-term goal of abolishing DSL technology sooner or later. In some cases, however, the Starlink satellite network or a simple 5G connection are the better (or the only) choice. What is the problem with DSL? How long do fiber optic cables last? Why does a fiber optic network use much less energy than DSL? How many satellites does the Starlink network currently consist of? We bombard c't colleagues Urs Mansmann and Andrijan Möcker with these and many other questions.
