Your mom was once restricted to the AOL ecosystem. And today transport data is being restricted by gatekeepers. And these two things are related. There’s no stopping the demand for open data.

I wish we had some #OpenData/#PublicData for DSLAMs/MSANs¹ to use for things like #OpenStreetMap. At least we mostly know the DTAG's² HvTs³ based on the OKNZ⁴ and AsB⁵.

My closest HvT is around 500m (air) to 700m (streets) away, however. Based on 250 MBit/s being available through vectoring, the closest DSLAM/MSAN in-between can't be more far away than ~300m.

There are a few grey cabinets in the area, but only one is tagged in OSM (and apparently for use by Stromnetz Berlin and not telecommunications), the others have unclear purposes.

Based on sudden availability of FTTC⁶ starting from 2022 (as provided by info in Breitbandatlas) in this area, they just recently upgraded the fiber network here somewhat (no FTTB/FTTH⁶ in sight, though). This also matches that around 2018 (last time I checked IIRC), only up to 100 MBit/s where offered, I think. Now up to 250 MBit/s are available.

odinhm added 746 points, answered 3681 questions, uploaded 9 images and moved 5 points with the thematic map surveillance
BumblebeeFr added 31 points, answered 98 questions, uploaded 37 images, moved 3 points, deleted a point and linked 2 images with the thematic maps waste_basket, bicycle_parkings, artwork, parkings, waste, bookcases, personal and cyclofix

This is not new, just writing and pinning it here so I can point people to this.

#OpenStreetMap's site has one big problem: people think it's an alternative to GMaps, while it's in fact a technology demonstrator.

* The map itself does not show all types of features, and adding new features is a nontrivial process.
* The search widget talks to a georeferencer which can find some type of features by names and resolve addresses, but can't find generics like 'butcher'.
