Glasfaser-Internet.info Lists Providers Offering Fiber Internet Without Landline Service

The website Glasfaser-Internet.info has compiled information on fiber optic internet providers that offer connections without an integrated landline telephone service. This move addresses a growing consumer trend where individuals increasingly rely on smartphones for all their communication needs, both at home and on the go, thereby reducing the necessity for a traditional landline.

Fiber optic broadband connections offer internet speeds of up to 2000 Mbit/s. However, these services are often more expensive than other options. By opting out of the bundled telephone service, consumers can potentially save around 5 euros per month, reflecting a broader shift away from landline usage, which is becoming increasingly obsolete for many households.

Currently, the number of providers offering "surf-only" fiber optic plans is limited. The website's research identified only three companies providing such standalone internet packages: one with nationwide coverage and two serving specific regions. These include congstar (nationwide) and regional providers like M-Net (primarily Bavaria) and Netcologne (serving the Cologne/Bonn area).

Regional providers M-Net and Netcologne offer "surf-only" fiber optic plans with speeds up to 1000 Mbit/s. While bundled packages including telephone service are still available, these providers allow customers to opt out. The additional cost for adding a telephone service typically amounts to approximately 3 euros per month.

congstar launched its fiber optic tariffs in 2026, focusing on competitive pricing and leveraging the Telekom network. For instance, the "congstar Zuhause 150 Flex Glasfaser" plan is available at a low cost, providing a fiber internet connection without a landline service.
