Really, Dropbox? DT? The most shitty telecom provider you could find? The pest of German internet access? The plague of providers? ... bah. At least it is only a pre-install program and not something like "we use Telekom for all our services in Europe". I hope it stays that way.
- UweSchmidt 12y agoMore realistically, DT is (perceived as) a premium provider and his will automatically expand Dropbox's market and can be kind of a strategic partner (what Dropbox supposedly needs since the competition from big players is heating up). Speculation: Deutsche Telecom's equivalent product was most likely inferior and hasn't caught on well enough, so that's a win for them as well. The general (perceived) shittyness of all providers in general is just a function of the business model: huge number of customers pay for mostly fixed costs.
- sgift 12y ago> More realistically, DT is (perceived as) a premium provider Okay, maybe my views about DT are really outdated, but ... premium provider? Who thinks about DT as a premium provider? The only thing I think about when I hear Telekom is "incumbent who does everything to stifle competition" and so do most people I know.
- mobiplayer 12y agoThen you don't want to know about Telefonica in Spain or BT in the UK. It's the same thing with every ex-monopoly.
- yoodenvranx 12y agoIn my experience a lot of older people in Germany still think that DT is THE provider for internet and mobile.
