Hello everyone,
when it comes to house connections, as I understand it, you also need to contact providers like Telekom or Vodafone to have the connection installed in the house. Phone calls with their respective customer service lines are already planned. I’ve learned from the electricity provider that Deutsche Telekom apparently requires a longer lead time.
I’m still having some difficulties understanding technically whether, depending on the individual situation, it makes sense to have classic DSL (Telekom) installed or to use Vodafone’s cable network, for example.
- In our specific case, TV is received via satellite (SAT) from the roof, and a landline is not needed because of mobile phones.
- I haven’t been able to figure out whether both options generally provide the same basic requirements, or if, for example, it would make more sense to focus on Vodafone since we only need internet and no phone service.
- Is a separate telephone cable even installed these days?
- Vodafone (formerly Unity Media) is an option for us because it is available; with classic DSL, the speeds are still quite limited in our area, at least, and they also offer good prices.
What are your thoughts on Telekom or alternative providers for the house internet connection?
Thank you all, and sorry for the very amateur questions :-(

It depends on whose fiber optic cable it is. For us, it was Telekom, so that was 800€ done. Whether TV is via Telekom/internet is a completely different topic. There’s a long thread about that.
Vodafone is not allowed to use Telekom’s fiber optic cable 🙂 they install their own, and if it’s not already there, it costs. For us, the offer was 11,000€ So it depends on whether the city/municipality in this new development area had both major providers (Telekom and Vodafone) install their cables or only Telekom?
