My university uses gitlab and it feels very slow. Pushing changes takes 5-10x longer than anywhere else, even from the university network. (compared to github or even my server sitting at home on a normal home DSL connection)

I just don't understand why even a single person on earth would voluntarily want to join this torture, or why she didn't quit. I would have quit after 2 minutes.

Torture? Sounds like high school wrestling practice.

That's just you. And to be honest, I seriously questioned why I was there about a week or so into the whole affair.

Some people really find they are good at that stuff. Others have no real options (I met both). Most are somewhere between that and where you are.

Happens in Germany with Deutsche Telekom.

I guess because you cannot make money selling reserved special use domain names.
