So even in Denmark (I guess?), that's a pity. Can I ask you which service
provider you use? I just thought about adding all this information by you and
others in this thread to the wiki page [1].

Well, at least in Germany some ISP were suspected to prioritise their own
services and to throttle other services (like streaming platforms) or simply
don't support them (like other Dynamic DNS services). But going into detail
means opening the net neutrality topic which is even more complicated.
But you see, all these topics are connected somehow.
