Mobil: 360 down/50 up ~40€

Landline: 250 down/50 up ~50€

For the landline we also have the option of 1Gbps, but I dont want to pay for it.

These speeds look pretty good to me to be honest. What's the line between bad internet and good internet, seriously?

For personal use and regular work use wouldn't it be maybe 100 down?

I'm more concerned about data caps once my speed can reach 100down, at least currently.

edit:

Also stability is huge. My partner's old house had 100down, but it would bottleneck or drop out about every 10minutes which made the service garbage for everything other than casual static web browsing.

The connection is pretty stable and worked great during Homeoffice.

What is the actual speed you get? Also mobile coverage is so bad. My phone frequently drops to edge connection in the middle of a city in Germany. I haven’t had this bad mobile coverage in any country including several third world countries.

Those were the measured speed +-3 Mbps. Sometimes inside of buildings my connection also drops back down to edge but I think this got way better in the last 2-3 years.

Just curious, is there any data cap on those?

12gb on mobil. Landline is without a cap, but I heard if you consistently download 5-10Tbs per Month, customer service might call and ask if you want a „better“ contract ; )

European landline internet almost never has data caps.
