Criticism and court judgment 2017
In the original form of the StreamOn offer, the data transmission rate for video streaming was throttled (from 1.7 Mb / s), too little for transmission in high resolution. In addition, the option for use within Germany was limited.
At the end of 2017, the Federal Network Agency decided that these restrictions were not compatible with the roaming rules and filed a lawsuit against Telekom. In an urgent procedure , the Federal Network Agency was found to be right and Telekom had to adjust its offer.
