The running gag of mobile internet in Germany is EU-roaming (no-charge use of you cellular internet service abroad in the EU): I can travel the 1-4 hours to any neighboring countries for the perfect cellular internet access I paid for. The only country where it doesn’t perfectly work is the one I live in. Germany.

Came here just to make this joke, the sad part of it is that it's so true.

I have bette mobile internet and call quality on every tiny village of every other country in Europe than what I have in a large German city.

Yeah the EU roaming thing is a godsend. The UK contracts in particular are great cause you get ones that extend data to a handful of other interesting countries beyond EU for another couple bucks
