The change will not later than 5 Take place in December, the Bonn-based company announced Monday in a conference call. “We say goodbye so first on the throttle,” said telecom Germany boss Niek Jan van Damme. 2015 at the earliest, there will be new throttled rates, which then will market it as flat rates Telekom. “The new volume tariffs will not come in the next 12 months, the technical reasons for this,” Van Damme said.
The Cologne Regional Court had the Group on 30 October in a judgment a monthly reduction of the data volume to certain maximum values ??in the so-called flat-rate tariffs “Call & Surf” and “Entertain” forbidden.
The theme throttling Telekom had applied in April of this year itself. At that time, the Group announced the first time to provide almost all new broadband plans with a monthly throttling 75-200 gigabytes. The move brought the company the nickname “Drosselkom”. Consumer advocates threatened with court action and then a process, which they eventually won in Cologne. Originally Telekom had throttled the data rate after reaching the maximum data volume to a loading speed of 364 kilobits per second. Later this rule was revoked and increased to two megabits per second.
DT wants to “win back lost trust” with the new measure, in the words of Van Damme. Insiders suspect that the magenta group recently lost in the DSL net ground because no user could do something with AGB-information as a throttling “of 75 gigabytes per month.” That tariffs with less maximum volume were offered more favorable than larger packets, the market was also difficult to convey.
