Due to the constant development of Internet providers, the range of Internet speeds has increased significantly. However, so that you don’t get lost in the jungle of MBit/s when making your choice, here are a few useful points that you should take into consideration when making your choice:

• You should consider the cancellation periods of your current contract.
• You should take care of the succession early.
• The surrounding maximum speed is only theoretical. In practice, the indicated speed can differ greatly from the real one (e.g. in rural areas).
• Be aware about how often you use the Internet and for what.

Thanks to the evolution of Internet connections, you have a wide choice of possible Internet speeds. From standard 16 MBit/s up to 1000 MBit/s, everything is available.

When looking for the right speed for you, you should take a closer look at yourself, your household and everyone else who lives with you.

If you use the Internet occasionally, a standard 16 MBit/s line is completely sufficient.

If more than two people live with you in your household, you should expect about 10 MBit/s per person for occasional Internet use.

If you have children/teenagers living in your household, you should increase your Internet speed to at least 50 MBit/s.

If you also work from your home office, you also need min. 50 MBit/s.

In general, it is better to take out a stronger connection to avoid the risk of having too slow an Internet speed until your contract is terminated.

If you have children/teenagers living in your household, you should choose the strongest DSL connection possible, because more and more children/teenagers also use the Internet for school purposes, which leads to a higher number of MBit/s required. Moreover, video games, which mostly require Internet, are very popular among teenagers. Therefore, to keep the family peace 😉 it is recommended that you get yourself a min. 100 MBit/s powerful Internet connection.

Here are all the relevant points for your DSL contract termination:

• It is imperative that you cancel within the cancellation periods specified in your contract.
• You will need your customer number, contract number and, if applicable, your telephone number.
• In most cases, you can already request your cancellation on the website of your provider. You only have to add your reason for termination.

What are the reasons for termination?

• Regularly at the next possible date
• Cancellation due to telecommunication law
• Cancellation due to price increase
• Cancellation due to relocation
• Termination due to death
