For a lack of alternatives I am with Telekom. I could get 250MBit/s but I am still on a 50Mbit/s contract. However I have noticed that I’m regularly exceeding the promised 50Mbit/s by 5-10Mbit/s so I get a little more than promised.
As others have mentioned Vodafone has been pretty good over the last years. Can’t really go wrong with them. Mobile contracts are a whole other matter in Germany. I’m with Drillisch but I heard in a lot of areas the coverage isn’t great with them. Personally I haven’t had much trouble in that regard though.
Guys I have a weird problem.
The Telekom guy came today to install the internet “box”, the small box with TAE connectors (one F and two N).
The guy tested it and said we have a pretty fast line. Cool.
Now, I have a new, untested, still sealed router that I connected via TAE N cable to the “box”.
The weird part is that the router doesn’t show, Via any LED, that there’s a carrier signal incoming.
I try to configure it with the data I received from Vodafone but to no avail.
Does anyone of you configured Vodafone with an own router?
We went through the router manual and some support pages for how to configure that model for Vodafone DSL. I think we found all the parameters for manual ISP configuration.
What’s strange is that all the connection diagnostics test still fail and there is not even a blinking LED.
A different router might help narrow down which end causes the issue.
Yes, got a Fritz!Box by a colleague who tested it at his apartment so I’m sure this works.
I can narrow it down to the specific problem.
Edit: What @Poneybirds said is close to the truth I feel.
There’s something wrong with the way the TAE cables ends up in my router - and checking in the Fritz!Box is inverted… So, uhm. Let’s hope.
