Internetprovider Kabel Deutschland is currently informing customers that current terms and conditions, including Internet throttling, are also applicable to old contracts. This concerns customers who have completed their Internet contract before August 2009. To date, these have not been affected by file sharing restrictions, where increased data throughput results in a deceleration of the guaranteed surf speed to 100 kbit / s.
