Why always the focus on free Wifi? Germany, like most of Europe, has good 3G/4G coverage. Rates are reasonable, so you can provide your own connectivity. Far more cheaper than renting a space just to get free Wifi.
That doesn't mean that the German laws about liability for offering connectivity don't suck.
- glasz 10y ago3g/4g rates are a joke. i call robbery. ever been outside germany?
- jakobegger 10y agoCellular rates in Germany are pretty high. On a recent trip I was shocked to find out that prepaid mobile data is roughly 10x - 20x more expensive than in neighbouring countries.
- pferdone 10y agoI pay 15€/month for 4GB LTE with unlimited SMS and minutes and it's prepaid. I know it's not the best in Europe but it has gotten better.
- greggarious 10y agoUnlimited 4G?
- pferdone 10y agoNo 4GB monthly data cap. winsim.de
- xiaoma 10y agoIn Taiwan, it's ~22€/month for prepaid phone service plus unlimited 3G. And by unlimited, I mean I used over 100gb for that price this March.
- the_mitsuhiko 10y agoGermany has abysmal mobile contracts. Inam cheaper roaming on my Austrian premium sim in Germany than to get a German sim.
- eeZi 10y agoNot true. As someone else already noted, you can get 4G for 15-20€/month with reasonable traffic limits.
- zmb_ 10y ago15-20€/month gets you 1-3GB of traffic from a cheaper operator like 1&1. "Premium" operators like Vodafone start at around 30€/month for 1GB. Whether you find that reasonable depends on what you compare it to (I'm used to 10€/month without traffic limits), but either way those traffic limits are nowhere near enough to replace free Wi-Fi for work purposes.
- the_mitsuhiko 10y agoI pay 39 EUR/month for 40GB of data with free roaming in Europe and the US. Unused data carries over up to 80GB on top of the 40 included. So you can travel around with about 100GB of data which is significantly more than you get in Germany for that price.
