    They called me recently because I switched to a cheaper provider about a year ago, trying to win me back. When asked what I preferred about my current provider I said “the facts that I pay 10 euros less per month and that I can actually watch YouTube on Saturday evenings”

      These people get awfully quite really fast once you say the word “peering”

        I did actually use that word, dunno if he knew what that means, but it doesn’t really matter

      yeah. out here I only get the choice between Telekom and Vodaphone. I’d rather take my chances w/ Telekom all things considered and then use Mullvad so that content actually loads.

      Its insane to me that Net neutrality is a big topic, yet Telekom can just extort services for money in addition to receiving money from end users.
