A communication terminal is described comprising a determiner configured to determine, for each of a plurality of communication networks, a physical link configuration that is available for the communication terminal that provides a maximum throughput to the communication terminal among a number of physical link configurations that is available for the communication terminal and a controller configured to check, for each of the plurality of communication networks, whether a throughput criterion is met when the communication terminal communicates with the communication network with a physical link configuration that provides less than the maximum throughput and to establish a communication link to one or more of the communication networks based on the result of the checking.
