KEY MILESTONES

  • 1995: Deutsche Telekom renames the BTX service as "T-Online".

  • Spring 2000: T-Online becomes the first major ISP in Germany to offer a flat-rate dialup plan for consumers. This was important owing to the fact that local telephone calls in Germany, including dialup access to ISPs, were not offered on a flat price per call (i.e., unlimited) basis. The flat-rate service was also offered to customers with ISDN connections at the same price as for analog service.

  • Spring 2001: T-Online announced the demise of the flat-rate dialup plan but offered a flat-rate DSL plan in its place.
