The first time the phone call breaks off on Autobahn 648 when crossing the Frankfurt city limits. The voice quality is poor on the A5, even though the cell phone is connected to the vehicle's external antenna with inductive coupling. The next break in the call is absolutely predictable: on the B 456 at the Saalburgkuppe. There is a huge dead zone in all networks. The comedy nobility Deutsche Telekom is now “chasing” dead spots, even though they know exactly where their problem areas are. Tens of thousands of commuters pass the Saalburgkuppe every day and are forcibly separated. But neither Telekom nor Vodafone and O2 can even be carried to the hunt, because such PR campaigns are more important to them than the expansion of their radio networks.

It continues into the Taunus.

Here everything breaks down at some point, on some federal highways you cannot make calls for kilometers.

Politicians know the problem.

As the outgoing Minister of Economic Affairs Altmaier said: “I told my office that I would no longer like to be connected to foreign ministerial colleagues while traveling, because I am totally embarrassed when I have to call three or four times because I have to call again every time fly out. ”When we got home, we read the new cellular network test from Connect magazine.

Telekom received an overall rating of “very good”.

Vodafone is "very good".

And O2?

Also very good".

Well then, keep it up.
