- dx034 9y agoI know that Telekom has a horrible attitude towards peering. But they're the only provider of high speed internet in many regions of Germany. Other cloud providers (e.g. OVH) also pay so I doubt Telekom will change soon.
- benger 9y agoThey offer Deutsche Telekom traffic. You just need to enable it https://wiki.hetzner.de/index.php/Double_Paid_Traffic/en https://wiki.hetzner.de/index.php/Double_Paid_Traffic/en
- snuxoll 9y agoPeering gets so incredibly stupid with consumer ISP's that it's infuriating. It reminds me of the whole Comcast-Cogent fiasco, it's incredibly unfair to try and charge other providers when the customers that are PAYING YOU are requesting the traffic. I think any real effort at enshrining net neutrality as law instead of a gentleman's agreement needs to include provisions that prevent residential / small business ISP's from throwing their weight around with peering agreements at the detriment of their customers.
