Unity Media or Kabel Deutschland - Internet providers in comparison

The selection of cable providers is limited. In this practical tip, we show you whether you should choose Kabel Deutschland or prefer Unity Media.

Kabel Deutschland: Cheap and fast internet, but not everywhere

Kabel Deutschland belongs to the Vodafone Group and offers Internet, telephone and television via cable connection:

At Kabel Deutschland there are four tariffs to choose from, which differ in price and transmission speed. All contracts have a term of 24 months.
The cheapest tariff offers 10 Mbit / s in the download. This is slower than ordinary DSL (16 Mbit / s), but costs only 9.99 euros in the first six months, then 19.99 euros. Compare the transfer rate here with your current internet speed. A landline flat rate is not included in the price, but can be booked for 5 euros per month.
For 19.99 euros in the first two years and then 29.99 euros, you get 25 Mbit / s and a landline flat rate. Since the contract only runs for two years, you can cancel before the price goes up and look for a better deal.
If you want to surf faster, choose the contract with 50 Mbit / s and landline flat for 19.99 euros in the first year, in the second year the fast connection costs 34.99 euros.
Super-fast internet with 6 times the DSL speed is available for 19.99 euros in the first year. Then you pay 39.99 euros for the luxury.
Kabel Deutschland offers cheap, fast tariffs. However, they must be connected to the cable network. You can find out whether cables are available at your address here.
You should note that the download speeds are convincing, but the upload speeds leave something to be desired: You can choose between 0.6 Mbit / s for the cheapest contract and 6 Mbit / s for the fastest.

Unity Media also offers Internet via a cable connection.

With Unity Media you can choose between three tariffs with different speeds. All contracts have a term of 24 months. A telephone flat rate is not included.
"Internet 10" costs 18 euros per month and offers you 10 Mbit / s in the down and 1 Mbit / s in the upload.
"Internet 50" offers 50 Mbit / s download rate and 2.5 Mbit / s upload and costs 23 euros per month.
Finally, there is also super-fast Internet at Unity Media: "Internet 100" costs 30 euros per month, at speeds of 100 Mbit / s in the down and 5 Mbit / s in the upload.
In addition to the pure Internet tariffs, Unity Media also offers so-called 2play tariffs. These include landline flat rate and internet:
2play smart costs 20 euros per month and offers 10 Mbit / s for download, 1 Mbit / s for upload.
With 2play Plus you surf in the first year for 25 euros per month at 120 Mbit / s. Upload speed is 6 Mbit / s. In the second year, the tariff costs 35 euros.
It's even faster with 2play Premium: 200 Mbit / s in the download are included with this tariff, 10 Mbit / s in the upload.
You can find out here whether Unity Media is available at your address.

If you want to switch to Kabel Deutschland but are still tied to another provider, Kabel Deutschland will give you the first six months for free. (see image)
Unity Media offers you a considerable online advantage: If you conclude your online income online, you will receive a discount of 80 euros.
Do you want the 100 Mbit / s but not for the price? At Kabel Deutschland you can test the large contract for EUR 19.99 for 12 months and then switch to a cheaper offer.
Kabel Deutschland also offers an online advantage: you get a credit of 20 or 30 euros (for the two expensive contracts).

Both providers offer fast internet tariffs with cable connection. In terms of price, the tariffs do not change much if you book a telephone connection. If you are looking for a pure internet tariff, Unity Media is cheaper.
However, Kabel Deutschland convinces with the attractive exchange offer and the fixed network flat rate, which is included in the three large Internet contracts.
