== 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 Internet contract 

* when you '''sublet''' an apartment or room.

If in doubt, ask your landlord.

== For how long should I order an Internet provider? ==

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 you 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.

== How to order an Internet provider for my home? ==

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€.

Below we've integrated a [https://tools.communicationads.net/calc.php?cl=dsl&h=1&wf=10774&width=650&country=DE comparison tool]*. Simply

* enter your landline city prefix (German: ''Vorwahl''). If you don't know [https://www.dastelefonbuch.de/Vorwahlen your prefix: find it here].
* Select your desired speed (German: ''Geschwindigkeit'')
* Select your desired contact term (German: ''Laufzeit'')
* Flatrates: Which plans do you want? ("Internet" should be enough most times.)
* Type of connection (German: ''Anschlussart'')
* Neukunde = new customer, no contract yet /  Wechsler = I already have an Internet contract and want to move to a new provider.
