Best wifi for location independents or digital nomads in Europe

What's the hardest thing about working location independent? - WIFI!!



I did a lot of research and found that the best value wifi for location independent / digital nomads in the EU is Congstar. They have mobile & fixed location options:


Homespot is a fast solution to get broadband quality at home instead of waiting weeks for other providers, and it also works for a summer garden since no cable or phone line is needed - you can use it in your own LTE hotspot device - just put the sim card into it and start browsing...


Homespot is cancellable each month and can be put on hold for €3/month (like for when you leave Europe for a while), and the quality and speed is just like we had with a phone line with 1und1 who kept us waiting for weeks for installation. You can also move house with it really easily.


We stream movies on the homespot 200 as much as we want (€40/month for 200GB) [€0.2 per GB]


Congstar X (€50/month for 200GB) is for those who also want wifi on the move, so you get 2 sim cards with the 200GB shared between them (not 100GB each since any card can take the data), so you can hotspot your laptop from your phone or use a hotspot device.



The one thing to ask about is whether you need a German address to post it out to... but this is another solvable problem if you're smart.

COMPARE THE CLOSEST COMPETITION (WHICH IS NO COMPETITION)


Aldi sim costs €150/100GB [€1.5 per GB - over 7 times more expensive than Congstar]

and

hippocketwifi (6 months minimum contract) OR keepgo (which slows down after 30GB - not that much use!!)



Yes I get a small kickback if you take my advice, and yes this is the product I use myself and I'm very happy with it. Their customer service has also been excellent so far, as has the data speed. I've been using the Homespot 200 from one location which is 45 minutes drive outside of Berlin (In Brandenburg state):

Tip: I have an ariel on top of my campervan which boosts the signal, but we haven't needed to use it.
