I am paying for a non existent DSL plan... and it's not even working.

Dear O2,

I ordered online a DSL M Flex without a device, and I got an appointment with a technician in the following week.

The technician did not come, and I received a letter by post stating, that in the next ten days I need to apply for a new appointment. I was trying to call O2 for days and after I decided to let it go, as reaching O2 through the phone seemed impossible...

According to the letter I received: "Sollten wir daher in den nachsten 10 tagen nichts von ihnen horen, sehen wir uns leider gezwungen, ihren vertrag zu kündigen."
If I'm correct, that means in English that O2 is forced to cancel my contract.

However, this month October, the amount of money for the service lifted from my bank account.

I went into an O2 office yesterday to find out what the heck is going on since according to O2's notifying letter, I am no longer your customer as I do not have a contract.

BUT It turned out in the office, that my contract is up and running, and also, the DSL connection is activated. The counter at the desk confirmed and also informed me again with my log in details. He said: "The only thing you need to do is, go home, plug the cables, enter username and password and you have internet."

Strange right?

  • First, no technician coming,
  • Passed the day of cancellation limit,
  • And the connection is on!
Fine, I said to myself - let's plug my modem/router into the TAE port and allow the mysteriously up and running DSL connection penetrate my home.

But I got disappointed again.
So I am paying for a non-existent DSL plan... and it's not even working.

Please help me with the connection issue or cancel the contract (for real).
Also, I insist on a refund for the month which is billed falsely as "up and running" service.

Kind regards,
dnsys

Hello dnys,

I am really sorry for the trouble with your DSL connection. Please accept our apologies.

First of all, what happens exactly when you set up your router (which model)? Do you get any error messages?

If you want to cancel, please let us know. We will of course also look after the refund for the time your internet was not working.

Kind regards,

Giulia

Dear Giulia,

Thank you for replying!

When I set up my router (TP-Link VR600v) It says no connection to the internet.
On the advanced settings, It's visible that the cable between TAE and the modem is not recognised. (the DSL indicator led is OFF) The cable is new. It's not a cable issue.

On the forum I've read calling the technicians would solve the problem. (08005251378 this number right?) The line is not working, three beeps and off.

I don't give up 🙂 I'm sure there's a way for me to be a happy customer of O2.

Best,
dnsys

Hello dnsys,

as I see you called the technical support (right number), they are already checking the issue. It is likely, that they will send a technician, whether he has to come to your house or if he can solve the problem outside, I don't know yet.

Keep us up to date, we will take care for the refund as soon as the connection is working.

Kind regards,

Giulia

Hello again!

I got a text message from Telekom on Sunday(04.11), that their technician will come on Monday(05.11) morning.
I quickly got a half day off until noon from my office.
No technician came.
...
Then I got a message from O2 on Monday (05.11), that I need to schedule a termin.

Unfortunately I can’t log in, vainly I typed all my details correctly!! What went wrong?

Seriously? Please.

Best,
dnsys

Hi dnsys.
I am sorry that the tec guy didnt show up. Please call the hotline asap to arrange a new appointment, they want to give it another try.
As a piece of advice: You dont have to wait by yourself for the technician, a friend or colleagues can also wait at your place for the tec guy to show up, its not nessessary that you stay at home the whole time.
Best Matze

Hi Matze!

Thanks for your advice.
Luckily, all my friends are unemployed techno DJs, so any of them can wait for the never-coming technicians!

This is ridiculous.
I’m cancelling the contract with a refund claim.
