Congstar LTE: 20 GB "Flatrate" for at home
For a long time, LTE was not available at Congstar, now something is happening in this direction at least with one tariff: Congstar Homespot offers 20 GB per month - with restrictions.

Congstar LTE further restricted
It was previously possible to use the Telekom LTE network with a Congstar contract card - but this is being restricted in more and more tariffs.

Fyve or Congstar: Discounter in the D-Net
D-networks do not have to be expensive: with Congstar (a Telekom subsidiary) and Fyve (a product of ProSiebenSat.1 Media AG), there are two low-cost providers that operate on the Telekom (Congstar) and Vodafone networks respectively. Fyve is a classic prepaid provider, whereas Congstar also offers postpaid contracts as well as DSL and VDSL. Both offer calls and SMS for 9 ...
Congstar: Influence compression with Speed Manager

LTE roaming in Europe also with Congstar
Telekom enables its customers to use LTE data networks in other European countries. This is also possible with Congstar, at least in Italy.

Congstar and LTE: soon no longer possible?
Currently, reports are piling up that Congstar is moving to no longer tacitly allow LTE in its contract rates. This would mean that an exciting feature of the postpaid tariffs of the Telekom subsidiary would be lost. Although LTE was never part of Congstar's contract, it was still possible to use it with a postpaid contract within the specified speeds (7.2 Mbit/s) - handy when ...
Congstar: Query current data consumption
If you have a Congstar postpaid contract and want to know how much volume is left until the mandatory throttling, you can get the corresponding information via pass.telekom.de. The page only works via the T-Mobile network and not in the WLAN, the allocation happens automatically. It shows the data consumption in the current billing period, in addition to the volume already used and the remaining time until the reset. In addition to the ...
Congstar: Nano SIM with operator logo on iPhone 5
Until now, there were problems displaying a Congstar operator logo on iPhones (including the iPhone 5): the delivered SIM cards simply lacked the corresponding information. With the nano-SIM cards (which also ensure that you no longer have to cut them yourself), this is now a thing of the past; Congstar is correctly displayed as the operator - only the path to activation is a bit tedious. In the ...
