I've switched from O2 to Congstar (D1/Telekom) in 2013. Just to find out that I barely had any signal in my flat in Prenzlauer Berg (where O2 worked fine, at least for calls).
Overall D1 is much better than O2. I have to try doing speedtests, but gut feeling when e.g. searching for stuff in Google Maps is that it is much slower than what I had in Tokyo, Taipei, Hong Kong or major US cities. If Berlin wants to be all high tech and startuppy, they have to match that.
Oh and if you take the train out of Berlin, hoping to get some work done... don't bother trying.
- kayoone 10y agoCurrently sitting in my apartment on the couch and get 27/12Mbps with a ping of 33ms on Telekom LTE, that should be enough for anything you can do on a mobile device. Not sure what other major cities are getting and i don't doubt the average could be higher, but it's not that bad. Congstar is also a lower cost ISP, so even if its D1, it's not the same quality of service. For example it's limited to 20Mbps in most cases vs Telekom which goes up to 300Mbps in the center of Berlin.
