Which of Germany's 116 home internet plans is right for you? (2026)

The priced plans in this table run from EUR 18.99 to EUR 140.95 a month. The floor is cable: eazy50 at EUR 18.99 for 50/25 Mbit/s and PŸUR Pure Surf 50 at EUR 19. A mainstream 100 Mbit/s DSL line is around EUR 39.99, the price both o2 Home M and 1&1 DSL 100 settle at after their intro periods. Telekom MagentaZuhause S, the entry VDSL plan at 16/2.4 Mbit/s, is EUR 38.95 after its intro. Gigabit is EUR 64.99 on Vodafone cable and EUR 70.95 on Telekom fibre.

Rarely, and it costs more. Of the priced plans here, 94 run for 24 months, one runs for 3 months, and 21 are one-month terms. The cheapest of those is congstar Homespot & Go S at EUR 22 for 50 Mbit/s of fixed wireless with a 100 GB monthly cap. O2 and Vodafone sell Flex versions of their DSL and fixed-wireless plans on one-month terms at a surcharge, for example o2 Home M Flex at EUR 39.99.

Neither. Every plan in this table records the same two answers: payment by SEPA direct debit from an IBAN that does not have to be German, and no address-registration requirement. What several providers do run is a SCHUFA credit check at sign-up, which is about credit history rather than paperwork, and it is the step most likely to stop a new arrival.

Because this table shows the regular price, the one you pay from the month the promotion ends. Vodafone GigaZuhause 1000 Kabel advertises EUR 19.99, which lasts 9 months before the price becomes EUR 64.99. o2 Home M advertises EUR 19.99 for 12 months and then charges EUR 39.99. 1&1 DSL 100 runs EUR 9.99 for the first 10 months. One-off and recurring extras sit outside the monthly price too: Telekom charges EUR 69.95 to set the line up and rents its router for EUR 7.95 a month.

The catalogue records a lead time per plan: 2 to 5 days for fixed wireless, which is a router in the post, 5 to 14 days for cable, 7 to 21 days for DSL, and 14 to 56 days for fibre to the home, where a physical build may be involved.
