Signing a DSL contract - what you need to know

If you would like to sign a DSL contract, you have numerous providers and rates to choose from. However, the wide selection makes it difficult to find a suitable solution. Find out here what you need to look out for when deciding on a provider and a tariff.

Things to look out for when signing a DSL contract

Due to the large number of different providers and tariffs, it is often not easy to decide. However, there are a few things you should consider before signing a DSL contract.

• Think about what kind of speed you need. It depends on what you are using the connection for. For simple surfing, for example, you do not need 500 Mbps. If you are clear about this, it often limits the available providers and contracts. Not all rates or connection speeds are available everywhere. On the provider websites, you usually have the opportunity to check what kind of connection is available in your area.
• In addition to the technical criteria, you should also pay attention to the terms of the contract. Deal in particular with the term and the associated notice periods.
• Also pay attention to whether the tariff has a data volume or whether it is a real flat rate.

On portals such as Check24, Preisvergleich or Verivox you have the opportunity to compare tariffs and providers directly. Once you have decided on a tariff, you can often conclude the contract directly via the provider's website. Alternatively, you can visit a branch office.
