Internet outage >48 hours – repeated missed resolution times

vor 28 Tagen

I’ve had a complete internet outage since around 20:00 on New Year’s Eve (Johannisthal, Berlin).

• Yesterday, the Telekom disruption status showed resolution by 21:00, which did not happen.

• This morning, customer support again confirmed resolution by 21:00 today, which also has not happened.

This means more than 48 hours without service, despite repeated promised fix times.

I’m paying a premium price for this connection and expect a reliable service and transparent communication, especially when outages last this long.

At this point, I’d like to understand:

What the actual cause of the outage is

A realistic restoration timeframe

How Telekom intends to compensate for the downtime

If this situation continues without clarity, I will need to reconsider my contract and evaluate alternatives.

I’d appreciate escalation and a concrete update.

      A realistic restoration timeframe

      Depends on the reason for outage.

      How Telekom intends to compensate for the downtime

      Is decribed in TKG law §58.

      Other providers have no outages? Don't dream.

      Thanks for the reply.

      I understand that restoration time depends on the cause — that’s precisely why I’m asking for clarity on the underlying issue and a reliable estimate, rather than repeated generic time promises that are not met.

      I’m also aware of §58 TKG . My question is how Telekom plans to handle compensation in this specific case, given that the outage has already exceeded 48 hours.

      I’d appreciate an update from a Telekom team member who can provide concrete information on the status of the disruption and next steps.

      Good evening @Larry dsouza,

      We apologise for any inconvenience caused.

       

      Best regards,
      Kathrin

      Good evening Kathrin,

      thank you for getting back to me.

      I’ve already checked the status page and the fault is indeed registered. What’s been challenging is that the communicated resolution times have already been missed twice, which makes planning difficult.

      Could you please let me know:

      whether there is more concrete information on the cause of the disruption, and

      whether the currently shown restoration time should be considered realistic?

      Regarding the refund: thank you for the clarification. Given the extended outage duration, I’d also appreciate if you could check whether a goodwill credit is possible in addition to the automatic compensation once the fault is resolved.

      Thank you for your support.

      Do you pay a „premium“ with a certain uplink guarantee or is it a common fixed line B2C contract? I understand this is very uncomfortable nowadays but you can trust that people are working on your connection.

      Usually customer service gives you free data on your mobile contact if you’re using Telekom mobile and ask for it - maybe this helps. Otherwise compensation is regulated as mentioned and arranged afterwards.

      Hello @Larry dsouza , thank you for the call. I'll check the invoices and do the refund, after it's created. Also I call you, when the cancellation is in the system you forward you to the colleagues from the winback team. 😊
