Verivox, perform “poorly” when it comes to voice connections in 240 locations across Germany .

“While 5G, the next mobile communications standard, is in the starting blocks, network coverage via 4G is inadequate in many places,” says Jens-Uwe Theumer, Vice President Telecommunications at Verivox. “It’s not just in small villages or sparsely populated regions that telephone calls are often interrupted or data connections are not even established: the poorly served towns also include cities with five-digit populations.”

The most dead spots are in Baden-Württemberg (63) and Bavaria (52). In contrast, there are only two places in Saxony and four places in Thuringia. In terms of all cities in a federal state, Baden-Württemberg also performs worst with a share of 5.7 percent. Schleswig-Holstein does best with 0.5 percent.
