In most regions of Saxony, fast internet is now available via mobile communications. However, according to a recent study by the Federal Ministry of Digital Affairs, 978 private households in the Free State are still not supplied with mobile broadband. In total, there is an area of 186 square kilometers in Saxony that are considered "white spots" - areas without 4G or 5G reception. This makes Saxony the eastern German federal state with the smallest unserved area, but the second most households without fast mobile communications. Only Thuringia is ahead of Saxony in eastern Germany with 2,539 households. Nationwide, Baden-Württemberg (8,022 households) is the frontrunner.
According to the study, 99.9% of the 41.4 million households across Germany are covered by mobile broadband. Nevertheless, more than 28,000 households are located in "white spots", where Internet via cell phone barely works or does not work at all
