Because they can't likely do anything about it. As I mentioned in another thread, the connection issues from DTAG customers seems to be a peering issue. Problems of that kind aren't solved over night (or days, or weeks, in case of Telia/Telekom even over years). GGG has limited options on this (if their provider even offers one) and a solution (like a better uplink to the DTAG network) may be expensive. Don't expect Telekom to do anything about it, their peering problems exists for years.

I really hope my guesses are wrong, actually I can't do additional teste because of work.

A solution for the DTAG connection issues could be using a VPN like HideMyAss. They have several server in Berlin in FRA which don't rely on the DTAG network. Telekom support suggested that a few months ago, as I had other peering issues with Telekom via Telia and it worked.


In short: If you have heavy connection issues on EU-Gateways, but Washington works, try VPN. You may have to pay between 5-10€ per month, but it should bypass the guessed peering issues. Most good VPN provider have trial accounts, so test it out (will test it in the evening, currently at work).

Please note: Everything written in this post counts only for Telekom connection issues (and Provider using the telekom network, like 1und1) and is based on the assumption, bad peering is the culprit for the connection errors.

Here's a list (and tests) for various VPN provider (written in german):

Also good, but not in the list:
