German Internet & Phone Providers (DSL, cable)

When do I need an Internet provider for my place?

• If you rent (or buy) an apartment or house directly from a landlord.

You usually don't need an electricity contract

• when you sublet an apartment or room.

If in doubt, ask your landlord.

How to order an electricity supplier?

• Use an online comparison tool. There are so many offers (incl. special bonuses), that only these tools can show you the best deals, saving you up to 100-200€.
• Term: you can order a contract with only 1 month cancellation period. But much cheaper offers come mostly only with a 24 month term.
  • 24 months seem to long? Because might move to another place before? No worries. By German law, you can either
    • move your contract to your new place
    • cancel your contract when the provider is not available at your new place.
