From July 6, 5G will also be a fixed component of the O2 Free Unlimited Basic and the O2 Free M Boost and O2 Free M volume tariffs, which are very popular with customers.1 This will further improve the already convincing price-performance ratio of the respective tariffs, because with 5G the maximum data speed of the O2 Free M Boost and O2 Free M tariffs increases to 300 Mbit/s.3 Customers who already have an O2 contract for their internet or landline connection will benefit from a 50 per cent discount thanks to the Combi Advantage and pay only EUR 14.99 per month for the O2 Free M, for example.4 For young people under 29 and people over 60, the monthly price is reduced by EUR 10.5,6

To date, Telefónica Deutschland / O2 has connected 60 cities in Germany to the 5G network. By the end of the year, the O2 network will cover 30% of the population and the whole of Germany with 5G by the end of 2025. At the same time, more and more consumers in Germany are using 5G-enabled mobile devices. At O2, for example, the share of 5G-enabled smartphones sold in the first quarter of 2021 was already over 50 per cent.
