Hi Lemmy.

I would like to get hands on some SIM for my laptop. I reside in Germany so roaming would be required.

Anyhow, I do not want to pay some amount x every months or four weeks. Instead I would like to have some old school SIM where I can use my data until its gone. 4G speed and 5 GB would be plenty.

Anyone knows of such a SIM from within your country?

Cheers.

    The Kombi packages are actually cheaper. The AldiTalk Kombi-Paket S gives you 10GiB with 5G for 8,99€.

        5G has lower latency and higher cell capacity for the same cell tower. Speed isn’t the only advancement. It’s better at maintaining connections while on the move (i.e. in a train) and security and privacy has been improved in a few key areas.

        There’s a world of difference between an EDGE 120kbps connection and a 5G 120kbps connection.

            I get by just fine with 8-10GB per month of data+tethering. It’s no replacement for my fiber internet connection, but I don’t even know what I’d use 60GB for. Might be useful on holidays I guess?

        The point of my comment was that the AldiTalk Kombi Paket S for 8,99€ offers double the amount of data compared to the Daten Paket M mentioned by the previous commenter with the same speeds for a Euro less
