Because congstar makes LTE 25 the standard for its postpaid tariffs congstar Allnet Flat, congstar Allnet Flat Plus and congstar Fair Flat. From now on, existing customers will be gradually converted. You can then surf the LTE network automatically and at no additional cost at up to 25 Mbit / s.
However, it will take some time before the changeover. By mid-March, she promises Telekom, all customers should automatically get LTE in the relevant tariffs.

New customers will benefit from the end of February
Curious: If you book one of the corresponding tariffs today, you will book it in the standard setting without LTE. Only from the end of February will all new customers of the congstar Allnet Flat tariffs and the congstar Fair Flat be able to use LTE 25 automatically and free of charge. Congstar just had one Tariff adjustment for the fair flat tariff announced and also declared LTE as standard under this tariff.
The advantage of LTE is obvious: Telekom’s LTE network has better network coverage than UMTS and also has more capacity. The UMTS network will be in the coming years can even be switched off, the frequencies used for LTE.
