Questions about data usage - O2 / Lidl / FONIC

Thanks - that was very helpful.

I may be tethering my Macbook to my old iPhone 3GS and want to know if the higher 3G speeds are supported with Blau/Simyo (E-Plus/BASE). HSDPA to 7.2MBps? I know FONIC/O2 supports higher speeds and I'm checking the various coverage maps for the areas in Germany where we will be staying to see what coverage looks like.

I really like the iOS app "My Festtool" that Simyo has - looks really helpful to understand the tariff and how much various things cost while travelling - they also have a pretty good webpage with APN settings all listed out etc. which I find very attractive!

So, I'm weighing the network coverage, as well as data prices and ease of usage/understanding of the plans to make this decision...

Any further advice is appreciated!
