1) surprised that a private company are not upgrading lines when the competition also doesn't
2) willing to pay 50€ for a better connection
Hehe. All I can say is : Welcome to how capitalism and private companies works.
Investment is quite simply determined by two factors. Profit per unit , volume.
You agreed that customer volume, in relative terms, is extremely small, so, that leaves only the profit per unit to motivate any private investor. DT is a private investor and not the Salvation army.
Dropping a 2Gb ranges from 30k€-300k€. (depending how far you live)
With your 50€ per month it will take them 125 years to amorize that investment. Now, If you find me the business guy is interested in such a deal ...
Put differently, in a well functioning business, you have to pay a 5k€ monthly rental fee for them investors willing to "extend you a loan"
Now, In terms of surplus profit - If you had a choice to sell an apple for $1 or $2 and you know people will pay either price, what will you charge? If there was a Tele2 charging much cheaper Appleman would of course follow suit... but they're not. Still, if there were trillions to be made, 10 competitors would've been there, in a jiffy.
So one cannot blame any private company, being frugal with their shareholder's investments in a free market...
Sometimes we have to touch our own noses when looking for culprits.
