A brief history of my relationship with O2.

1) In October, I signed a contract through Check24 for connecting a cable Internet - I already had my personal CISCO modem.
2) On the twentieth of October, a technician came - I was not at home, he did something and they wrote to me that everything was ready.
3) I connect the modem - I look in the status - all connection phases are completed - there is no Internet.
4) I call support there and they explain to me that the modem may not work and that the line belongs to the telecom - the application will be sent to them. No answer.
5) I understand that perhaps the modem is possibly incompatible (primarily due to O2's unwillingness to work with it) - in a week I ask you to tell me if there are any options to rent a modem from O2. They say that the technical service will contact me - no answer.
6) I'm trying AURA - a virtual assistant in whatsapp - an absolutely useless tool made only to send inconvenient clients there - it just doesn't work. No answer.
7) The money is being debited in the meantime. I understand that I don’t need such an Internet. I am applying for termination. as now I see the termination on December 22.

Results.

- O2 charged me more than 70 euros for the "connection" and is still going to withdraw about 70 (35 + 35) = 70 euros for two months, although during these months 0 bytes of traffic were downloaded.
- O2 support does not work at all - in my situation, 140 euros were thrown out for 0 seconds of using the Internet, I did not receive any adequate connection, although I was ready to admit
that my modem is not compatible and I am willing to rent another one (although it is actually compatible).
- after the termination of the contract was approved, I once received a call from o2, where someone tried to ask about the reasons for leaving, but after a request to switch the English subscriber just hung up
- after that, about 5 times, dumb calls from o2 began to arrive (I see by the number) that look like this - an incoming call and after half a second reset. Apparently someone is "working out"
outgoing clients so that there is a fact of a call in the log, in fact, they simply hang up at once - no one cares why I am unhappy.

What I want.

1) O2 will you be so kind to cancel the subscription fee for two months, for the reason that you never provided me with a byte of traffic and never answered adequately
to my requests - 70 euros for the connection, I'm ready to forget - your technician was doing something (okay 70 euros for connecting one connector in the closet at home, we will leave it on your conscience).

I am a newbie in Germany and had no idea that this could happen in this country, but I am ready to go all the way to get my money back. I hope you make the right decision.

Thank you for your attention, I'm waiting for your feedback.

hi again. can I please have any feedback regarding this issue or please provide a working support email. there is no possibility to contact with your support in normal way by any other communication method.


Hello @funpepper ,

first of all welcome to the o2 Community :blue_heart:.

When you ordered an internet connection from us, you chose to try and use your own hardware instead of renting a router from us. The model that you have in use is an older one produced by CISCO that supports up to DOCSIS 3.0 , one of the requirements for hardware that we posit for internet via cable is the newer DOCSIS 3.1 standard. There had been a problem near the beginning of the contract, that your hardware was still registered on the backend to Vodafone, who provide the infrastructure for our cable internet and this blocked your access. This had been fixed on by Vodafone before the end of October. Your contract will now be terminated in December, and as you kept trying to use your own inadequate hardware, there is no reason for us to reimburse you for the time in between. The usage of your own hardware is your own responsibility and not of o2. I understand that this will not be to your satisfaction, but this is the risk when using your own hardware.

 

Kind regards, Sven
