1.5GB daily is not unlimited. They also chose O2, the worst network by a large margin. That’s about a good start.
That said, it is still expensive, and actually getting more expensive, but since 2019 we have made huge progress. There are a lot more cellphone towers, so you might even have O2 reception in rural areas. I am on the Telekom network, which is the most expensive, but also has the best coverage. 90% is 5G (though still NSA) and 10% 4G. No reception is usually limited to very rural areas or narrow valleys or inside some buildings. It is still behind some other European countries, but much improved.
We have also doubled the number of homes with FTTB/FTTH available in the last two years. Unfortunately most Germans are rather conservative and cheap when it comes to internet access. You would be shocked how many wealthy people are still on unreliable coax or old DSL lines because that is five to ten euro per month cheaper than fiber.
