DSL[edit]
In Germany, DSL is the prevalent internet access technology with over 30 million subscribers. For residential services the Annex B versions of ADSL, ADSL2+, and VDSL2 are used. With over 12 million customers the incumbent Deutsche Telekom is the market leader.[1] Other DSL providers either operate their own hardware on local loops rented from the incumbent in a local loop unbundling (LLU) arrangement, and/or purchase bit-stream access from a provider that operates DSL hardware.
As of January 2014, a typical monthly cost for "dual flatrate" internet and telephone service start at €25 for ADSL2+ (16 Mbit/s downlink, 1 Mbit/s uplink) and €30 for VDSL2 (50 Mbit/s downlink, 10 Mbit/s uplink).[2][3] Some of the major nationwide DSL providers are:[1]
Alternative technologies[edit]
While DSL is the prevalent connection technology in Germany, other technologies may offer lower prices or better availability and speed.
Cable[edit]
Internet via cable is offered by Kabel Deutschland and Unitymedia (separated geographically). Additionally there are some small providers as well which do not operate nationwide.[8] The typical available download speed is between 10 and 200 Mbit/s. In April 2015 Tele Columbus started offering up to 400 Mbit/s.[9] A typical 2-year tariff with 120Mbit/s internet and telephone costs about €35 per month,[10] with additional HD cable TV about €60.[11] Since November 2014 both Unitymedia and Kabel Deutschland offer connections with up to 200Mbit/s in downstream.[12] Unitymedia started its 400 MBit/s connections in January 2016, Vodafone Kabel Deutschland offers 400 MBit/s since June 2016.[13]
FTTH and FTTB[edit]
Deutsche Telekom started offering FTTH/FTTB in select regions in 2011, with up to 200 Mbit/s downstream and 100 Mbit/s upstream.[14] As of January 2014, Deutsche Telekom FTTH was available in 884,000 households, at a price point of €55 for 100/50 Mbit/s and €60 for 200/100 Mbit/s service.[15][16] Regional providers also offer FTTH/FTTB services, e.g. M-Net in Munich, wilhelm.tel (de) in Hamburg, NetCologne in Cologne, and NetAachen (de) in Aachen.
