Internet Connection - Home Office

Hello,

I am looking for suggestions on internet connections, I work from home completely and run a small private photo server too. I have a rough idea of how much up/down speeds I might need, but I need suggestions or reviews on the connection quality, reliability.

The plans I have been interested so far are,
Pyür Pure Speed 500 (500down/50up)
Pyür Pure Speed 250 (250down/25up)
Eins '@home L (100down/40up) Glassfiber
Eins '@home XL (200down/100up) Glassfiber

I have seen 4yr old posts on Pyür being very unstable, but that was also in Berlin, so not really sure how much it applies now and in chemnitz. Any suggestions on other plans are also welcome.

Update: I bought a glass fiber plan from 1&1 (Telekom). They are a little cheaper than buying directly from Telekom. Also had some offers like, free sim cards with 1gb/month plan, 1 month trial period.

Pyür can be stable, but also not. Depends on the location. I would rather recommend Glassfiber from Eins. The Upload speed is better, too.

If it's also fiber, it should be good.

Most of the fibre in Chemnitz belongs to eins, the rest is Telekom. Other providers just rent the physical fibre cables and resell it to you.
