It's so stupid in Germany. It was state-owned. Then, privatization and Telekom expanded into other nations. In Germany, it violates net-neutrality, and sends repeated lying, misleading, and pressuring door-to-door marketing. For a premium cost, you don't get a premium service. Worse, it's still so big that it affects infrastructure over the whole of Germany. Insane.
But some wealthy pockets with strong political connections got filled along the way during privatization and that's all they cared about.
