Unlike the open source solution using OpenMPTCPRouter, which I described in the last post, Speedify is a commercial solution based on a VPN client. The principle is the same: two lines are bundled, the data is routed via an endpoint and the speed is thus improved. Again, the setup is the same: a VDSL connection with 250 MBit/s and a [...]
Hybrid LTE homebrew for more Internet speed: Speedify Read Post »
With hybrid LTE, Telekom offers a tariff that combines a DSL connection with data transmission via LTE. I wondered whether it would be possible to implement something like this myself and came across the openmptcprouter project. The idea here is to bundle several Internet connections and thus increase the bandwidth. In my setup there is one

After Congstar, as a Telekom subsidiary, was limited for a long time in terms of LTE usage, the situation has now improved: current rates support both Voice-over-LTE (VoLTE) and Wifi calling.

As teltarif.de reports with reference to the Freenet balance sheet press conference, Congstar will be able to offer LTE in the Telekom network from March 6. Until now, LTE use was only possible in old contracts that still connect to the Telekom LTE network - albeit throttled to 7.2 MBit/s. A corresponding 9-cent tariff, which never offered any options

For a long time, LTE was not available from Congstar, but now at least one tariff is moving in this direction: Congstar Homespot offers 20 GB per month - with restrictions. The "Homespot" tariff is a pure data tariff that will offer 20 Mbit/s downstream via Telekom's LTE network. Unlike with

For many years, I was happy with Congstar as my mobile provider, even though LTE was never officially available from Congstar. However, with the current Magenta 5.0 tariffs plus a €10 advantage, Telekom has got me. Previously, Congstar's 9-cent tariff (with LTE) was ideal for me: around 17 euros a month with 1 GB of data volume (at 12.95 euros per month) was a good deal.

Although it was previously possible to use the Telekom LTE network with a Congstar contract card, this is being restricted in more and more tariffs. The new tariffs now offer faster 3G Internet, but still no LTE. Unlike the other network operators (after the merger of o2 and Eplus, only two competitors remain)

Congstar uses the T-Mobile network, which means that some functions are also available. One exciting feature is the speed manager at http://speed.telekom.de (only works with a congstar or other SIM card in the T-Mobile network), which can be used to influence image and HTML compression. By default, on-the-fly compression of the code, but not the images, is selected. If you want faster data transmission without

Deutsche Telekom enables its customers to use LTE data networks in other European countries. This is also possible with Congstar, at least in Italy. If you have a Congstar tariff that allows you to use Telekom's 4G network in Germany, you can apparently also use the roaming offered by Telekom. The speed is reduced to the

As reported by teltarif.de, with the second iOS 8 beta, the E-Plus LTE network can be used with the iPhone 5S, iPhone 5 and iPhone 5C. This was previously not possible due to a missing profile. E-Plus uses a 1,800 MHz LTE network, which is also used by Telekom. Technically, all iPhones from the 5 series onwards are able to do this,
