Telekom, o2 and Vodafone are fighting for supremacy among German consumers. As a rule, Telekom is ahead of the game. But o2 has had a really good year. The almost eternal third party can even beat Telekom.
o2 is growing faster than Telekom – Vodafone has to be content with third place
Vodafone, Telekom and o2 not only share large parts of the German mobile communications market among themselves as network operators, but also as providers with their own tariffs, the three major providers gather many customers under their respective brands.

However, the positive development of o2 shows one thing above all: the days when o2 was considered the worst alternative nationwide seem to be finally over. Indeed, if the provider continues this trend, further catching up becomes more and more likely. It remains to be hoped that o2 will continue to invest the additional income in a better offer.
