Congstar - cheapest data prepaid in Germany?

I think I have found a very interesting prepaid solution for mobile data in Germany.

Congstar now has a Tagesflat package for €0,99 with 200MB limit. Seems to be the very cheapest in the market now, also using the T-Mobile network (better than E-Plus that MedionMobile & co offer) and they don't throttle the speed.

Their site mentions a long list of distributors which should sell the starter packages:

- Amazon.de - Onlinehandel
- combi-Märkte
- dm Drogeriemärkte
- real-Märkte
- Rossmann Drogeriemärkte
- Müller Drogeriemärkte
- extra/REWE-Märkte
- Kaufhof-Warenhäuser
- Kloppenburg Drogeriemärkte
- Edeka Minden/NP-Märkte
- Metro Cash & Carry
- Kaufland-Warenhäuser
- Ringfoto- Händler
- Woolworth-Warenhäuser
- Praktiker Baumärkten
- an vielen Kiosken,

But I wouldn't just assume all of them actually sell it. For example, in REWE I have only seen their own brand (Ja! Mobil) and no sign of Congstar...

It is not bad, but also it's a strange offer

You can use it for 99ct/day, but only up to a MONTHLY volume of 200MB !!!!
After having reached these 200MB the speed will be throttled to max 64kBit/s download and 16kBit/s upload. Happy browsing!

Besides this volume-based throttling to 64 KBit/s there is a general throttling to 1.8 MBit/s down and 192 KBit/s up for all those prepaid discounters on the T-Mobile network (Congstar, Penny mobil, Ja! mobil etc.) and they block VoIP, which according to some forum postings also affects Skype.

Little update: I have bought myself a Congstar and tested it on my 4-day trip to Berlin a few weeks ago. I really have nothing to complain about, the billing is correct: €0,99/day. They have a good working online self-service. I didn't really meter my usage whether or not I went over the 200MB, but I didn't notice any speed decrease or anything.
