That's ok and competitive with O2 for € 19.99/month. I actually switched to O2 and the first month included unlimited data (vs my 100GB on a 2 yr contract) BUT was using different masts and quite a bit slower. Once past that 1st month my speeds were quite decent. I believe Aldi Talk uses the O2 network.Germany's Aldi Talk is including more data:
And as a first: new Home product (can be used mobile in the whole EU):
Correct. Originally they used E-Plus, but later they merged O2. Been with Aldi Talk for 15+ years now and still very happy.
Have thought about their Home option, but even 300GB can be to little for me in some months. And Congstar (a subsidiary from Deutsche Telekom) is offering "Flex 100" DSL with 100 Mbit/s for 33€ a month, no provision (regular 50€) and it can be cancelled monthly.
But if you travel around Germany / Europe or have a camping space for the weekends that Home option from Aldi Talk is a great thing.
I had a legacy contract with 1&1, low cost, monthly termination, average reception. When 1&1 switched to 5G (utilising exclusively own towers with poor coverage), I had massive reception issues even with a simple call. It switched always to LTE but suddenly even calls were problematic. Turns out they used the O2 network for LTE BUT then switched to Vodafone for LTE. Took a long time for me find out this unadvertised mystery and explained the very poor reception (on occasion no signal bars). Once I went with O2 5G was insanely quick in all the same locations.
ATT
~$95
2 iPhones
Unlimited talk & texts
Shared 3GB data w/ rollover
We very rarely hit the 3GB limit and they drop you to like 2g speeds once you do go over.
But it does exclude us from any of the new phone deals since those all require unlimited data plans.

Visible+ for $29/month. Switched all 4 family members, so while <$50/mo/person, it's $116 for all 4. Still need to setup the inner circle and save an addition $5/line/month
$69, old Verizon plan....which they keep emailing me to "upgrade!" (They really want me off this 2019 plan) This used to be $13 dollars cheaper. Verizon and their little price hikes..
5GB a month data...which honestly is more than fine, carries over each month so I have 8-9GB per month. I dont stream music, not watching YouTube videos for hours when I'm not on wifi. Unlimited calls, texts.
BUT...I do want off Verizon, it's only a matter of time before they ditch this old plan and literally force me to get BS "Unlimited everything" nonsense which will jack up my bill well into the $90+ range.
So..I may go to Visible, maybe Mint?? Something MUCH cheaper. Even $69 for what I'm getting I realize is too much.

Paying $30 a month using Visible. Was pay Verizon $90 for all around ****** service. Best decision I’ve made and I know Visible is on Verizon’s network. The difference in service and price is jarring.
Telekom is also ridiculously priced here in Germany and their only advantage of the monopoly (own all underground lines) is a quick DSL connection, excellent rural coverage and that of Autobahns between metropolitan areas.
I find it baffling that carriers are still capping data, text & call minutes on any plans in 2025. The only time I see that is on prepaid lines in my area. I am on a 4 line family plan with Verizon. My line is $108 for Unlimited Ultimate (Unlimited on everything), $20 for Apple One Family that is shared with all 4 lines and a device payment plan for my iPhone of $23.61 per month.
