Overview
- The Verivox analysis published Tuesday found long‑running 16 Mbit/s contracts cost about €41 per month on average while 50 Mbit/s customer bills average about €43 per month.
- For new customers Verivox recorded lower advertised prices for higher speeds, with 100 Mbit/s averaging €30.53 per month versus €34.20 for 16 Mbit/s during the first 24 months.
- Verivox attributes the price inversion to providers heavily promoting and subsidising fast fibre plans while offering fewer discounts on slow DSL products.
- The portal estimates about 83% of customers could save by switching to an equal or better tariff, with an average monthly saving of roughly €20.24 based on contracts whose 24‑month terms end between March and August 2026.
- The study’s sample was limited to contracts concluded via Verivox and used Neukunden prices pulled on 31 May 2026, and the practical benefit of switching will vary by region because fibre availability and real throughput differ locally.
