Our practical tip shows you which network Discotel uses and how good coverage and quality are.

Which cellular network does Discotel use?

Discotel does not have its own network but, depending on the tariff chosen, transmits in the O2 or Vodafone networks.

• The Vodafone network is currently the second best network in Germany. Telekom is in first place.
• The network is very solid and scores particularly in terms of telephony quality and LTE distribution. However, you have to cut back on coverage in rural areas.
• The O2 network is comparable to that of the E-Plus group and is in third place behind Vodafone and Telekom.
• As far as telephony is concerned, the O2 network differs only slightly from the competition. However, poor speech quality is more likely in the country.
• There are problems especially with the data connection: In the country, O2 lags far behind the competition. In addition, the LTE network is significantly slower than that of the other providers.
• In our large CHIP network test, all major German network providers are compared.
