Germany-specific troubleshooting
Things that can go wrong in Germany.
- ICE trains through the Thüringer Wald have tunnel sections with no service — this is universal across German carriers.
- Rural Brandenburg and parts of the Black Forest have historically weak coverage; Deutsche Telekom is the best bet.
- Berlin U-Bahn has partial coverage; S-Bahn has near-full coverage.
