Our verdict

TNG Stadtnetz Glasfaser suits households on a fibre-to-the-premises street in Germany that can commit to a long contract. Entry pricing starts at €19.95 and every plan steps up once the introductory period ends, so the renewal figure, not the headline, should drive the decision.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • Full fibre to the premises with a ceiling of 1,000 Mbps, and uploads that reach the top of 100 to 1,000 Mbps on the higher tiers.
  • The contract is with TNG Stadtnetz GmbH, a company that has traded since 1997.
  • The router rental is included with the upper plans, so those tiers carry no separate hardware line.
  • Mobile tariffs from the same provider run on Telefonica with EU roaming included, letting a household hold both services under one name.

Cons

  • The headline price is an introductory rate: post contract prices run €39.95 to €74.95, so the real commitment is the renewal figure.
  • A setup fee of €79.95 lands before the first bill, and it ranks 82 out of 86 on this measure.
  • Every plan runs for 24 months, so there is no shorter term to fall back on if plans change.
  • A ceiling of 1,000 Mbps places it mid-table at 49 out of 114, behind faster fibre such as Abissnet at 10,000 Mbps.

Who it suits

  • Households in DE whose street is already on the fibre network and who want more upload headroom than entry tiers usually give.
  • Families heading for the upper tiers, where the FRITZ!Box rental is included rather than charged on top.
  • Households ready to hold a long contract in exchange for a low opening rate.

Who should look elsewhere

  • Buyers chasing the highest headline speed: Abissnet lists 10,000 Mbps, well above the 1,000 Mbps ceiling here.
  • People who want a cable or fixed wireless option rather than a single technology: Astound covers cable and fttp and EarthLink covers fttp, 5G and satellite, where TNG Stadtnetz Glasfaser runs fttp.
  • Households wanting several connection types under one roof, since EarthLink spans fttp, 5G and satellite and the TNG offering is fibre to the premises only.

What it does well

Every plan is delivered over fttp, fibre all the way to the premises, with a maximum download of 1,000 Mbps and upload speeds that run 100 to 1,000 Mbps depending on the tier. The low end of that upload range suits households that stream and browse, while the high end is there for people pushing large files out as often as in. The tiers share the same download ceiling, and what separates them is upload headroom and hardware. A FRITZ!Box rental is charged monthly as standard and comes included with the upper plans, so a full gigabit setup on those tiers has the router already accounted for. Support runs on phone and help centre, with a phone line and a help centre as both routes in.

Pricing

Entry pricing starts at €19.95, and that figure is introductory. The fibre plans open at the same headline rate, then separate once the introductory period ends: the entry plan settles at the low end, the middle plan sits between, and the top plan lands at the top of renewal pricing that runs €39.95 to €74.95 across the range. The contract term on each plan is 24 months, so the opening rate is only held for a short stretch of that longer commitment. A setup fee of €79.95 is added at the start, and hardware can still be charged on the tier that does not include the router rental. Ranked on the headline figure, TNG Stadtnetz Glasfaser sits at 19 out of 95, which makes this a low entry point rather than a low ongoing rate.

Where it sits among rivals

On download speed the provider ranks 49 out of 114 brands, which puts a 1,000 Mbps ceiling squarely in the middle of the field rather than at the top. Renewal pricing is the stronger showing at 15 out of 36, and the entry figure sits at 19 out of 95. The weak spot is the setup fee, ranked 82 out of 86, so the cost of getting connected is where a cheaper headline loses ground. Set against the alternatives, Abissnet lists 10,000 Mbps on download, Astound runs cable and fttp rather than pure fibre, and EarthLink covers fttp, 5G and satellite. TNG Stadtnetz Glasfaser is the narrow option: a single technology, a single market, a single contract length.

Frequently asked questions

What speed do I get with TNG Stadtnetz Glasfaser?+

The maximum download on the fibre plans is 1,000 Mbps. Upload speeds depend on the tier and run 100 to 1,000 Mbps, so the cheapest plan is the weakest on sending files out. Every plan is delivered over fttp, fibre to the premises, not a shared cable connection.

What does it cost to get started?+

Entry pricing starts at €19.95 per month, and that is an introductory rate rather than the price you keep. A setup fee of €79.95 is payable on top, so the first bill is higher than the headline figure suggests.

What happens to the price after the introductory period?+

Each plan renews above its opening rate. Across the tiers the post contract price runs €39.95 to €74.95: the entry plan at the low end, the middle plan in between and the top plan at the high end. That renewal figure, not €19.95, is the number to budget against.

Is there a shorter contract available?+

The listed term on every plan is 24 months, which makes this a long commitment rather than a rolling monthly agreement. Households that value the ability to leave quickly usually pay more elsewhere for a shorter term, so weigh that before signing.

Where does TNG Stadtnetz Glasfaser run its network?+

Coverage is limited to DE, and the contract is with TNG Stadtnetz GmbH, which is headquartered in Germany. Because the service is fttp, availability depends on the street already being wired, so an address check comes before any price comparison.

Is a router included with the broadband?+

A FRITZ!Box rental is charged monthly as standard and comes included with the upper plans. On the entry plan that rental sits on top of €19.95, so it is worth adding to the running cost of the cheapest tier before you pick it.

Can I take mobile service from the same provider?+

The mobile side runs under the mvno label on the Telefonica network, billed on a rolling basis, with sim only tariffs, 5G and EU roaming included. A credit check is required, so the contract details have to be in order.

How do I get help if the line has a problem?+

Support runs on phone and help centre, which covers a phone line and a help centre. Those are the routes available when a fault needs reporting or the router rental needs explaining, so have the account details ready before you call.
