Astound vs congstar

Astound

Who it suits

• Households in US whose street already has cable or fibre to the home and who want equal download and upload speeds.
• Families adding mobile lines to the same account, where a multi line discount and rolling billing apply.
• Renters and short-stay households, since No cancellation penalty; change or cancel anytime.

Who should look elsewhere

• Buyers who want a fibre to the home provider and nothing else, because cable and fttp includes cable while Abissnet and Kinetic list fibre to the home alone.
• Homes a wired network does not reach, where EarthLink adds fttp, 5G and satellite options.
• Travellers who expect European roaming to come included, since EU roaming is paid.

congstar

Who it suits

• Households wanting one bill option across contract, rolling and prepaid types, from prepaid to contract.
• Travellers in the EU who want roaming at included rather than paying per use.
• People on the Telekom network who would rather buy through an mvno than go direct.

Who should look elsewhere

• Anyone who needs truly unlimited data, since the congstar reference plans stop at Allnet Flat L; GETESA, listed as a network, is worth reading if you prefer a direct network tariff.
• Those wanting a single monthly contract price, since the cheapest figure belongs to a prepaid bundle while Allnet Flat S costs more each month.
