There is finally a complaint against Deutsche Telekom about their, in my opinion, unfair peering practices (in German): https://epicenter.works/content/keine-zweiklassengesellschaft-im-internet-buendnis-reicht-beschwerde-gegen-deutsche-telekom-ein
It's a practice where they're trying to get money not only from their customers, who pay for internet access, but also from online services using very restrictive peering policies. The result is often that networks (and server owners) who don't pay Deutsche Telekom, experience connection issues with their users.
