The exception to this is Deutsche Telekom. They demand atrocious pricing for peering and only have very limited peering at DE-CIX and BCIX - 20 Gbit/s at DE-CIX [1], compared to the 2x600 Gbit/s that, say, Vodafone has.
The result is massive complaints about peering with virtually anyone, even the big dog Cloudflare [2].
I recommend every fellow German to subscribe with a regional provider - in Bavaria for example, book a M-net connection. The last mile will be handled by Telekom who are subcontracted by M-net or whomever else you choose, but there's government-regulated exchange points so you bypass Telekom's shitty peering.
