High-Speed Combination: Up to 500 Mbps Offering for Both Fixed and Mobile Services from Deutsche Telekom
Deutsche Telekom has announced the launch of its MagentaZuhause Hybrid plans, providing an affordable and reliable internet solution for households across Germany. These plans combine fixed-line DSL and mobile 5G networks, offering download speeds of up to 500 Mbps and upload speeds of 50 Mbps [1][2][3].
Key Features
- Promotional Offer: New subscribers can enjoy a promotional price of €9.95 per month for the first three months on any Hybrid plan. Afterward, the device rental cost is €7.95 per month [1][2].
- Speed Tiers: The plans are available in M, L, XL, and XXL tiers, mirroring standard DSL speeds but enhanced with hybrid 5G integration to boost performance and reliability [1][2][3].
- Coverage & Technology: The service uses a Speedport Smart 4 router paired with a 5G receiver, which automatically switches between connections to maintain uninterrupted, high-speed internet, especially during peak demand or landline outages [1][2][3].
- 5G Integration: The 5G receiver is an external device working with the Speedport Smart 4 router. This hybrid setup leverages Deutsche Telekom’s 5G mobile network where available, enhancing speed and fail-safe connectivity without needing fiber-optic infrastructure [1][2].
- Bundling: Hybrid plans can be combined with MagentaTV Smart, offering an all-in-one solution for internet and entertainment [1][4].
Advantages
- The hybrid plans are particularly beneficial for streaming, gaming, remote work, and households with multiple users [1][2][3].
- Internet outages are almost impossible with the combination of fixed network and mobile communications in Hybrid [5].
- The hybrid plans are available in the same speed classes as the DSL plans and under the same conditions, with no surcharge compared to the comparable fixed-line tariff [6].
- The MagentaZuhase Hybrid XXL plan is available to Deutsche Telekom customers, even without a fiber-optic connection [7].
- The Speedport Smart 4 router automatically sets up at the Telekom landline connection, and a flat network cable connects the 5G receiver to the router through a window frame [8][9].

If booked by the end of September, routers and 5G receivers are available free of charge for the first three months and then at a permanently reduced promotional price of 7.95 euros per month [11].
