Moving to another apartment with an established connection of another provider

4 years ago

Hello!

 

I am moving to a new apartment that has already established internet connection by the landlord.

Thus, I would like to terminate my contract.

 

What are the options that I have and what is the procedure that I have to follow for the termination?

Thank you in advance!

    Hi there,

     

    as usual in Germany, there is a law for almost every situation you may encounter in your daily life. The law relevant in your case is the TKG (telecommunications bill). 

    When moving to another flat, you have the right to end your contract at three months' notice if and only if your current provider can not provide the same service at your new address. (You can check the availability of Telekom services at your new address HERE). There are exceptions from this rule if you move in with your partner, but this does not seem to be the case here.

    Your only option is to officially notify Telekom about you moving to another place according to TKG and they will check whether they will be able to fulfil the contract at the new address. If so, the contract will continue for the remainder of the contract duration.

     

    However, there may be a chance of a goodwill agreement in your situation. So – if you haven't done so already – enter contact details into your profile so that a Telekom team member can contact you.

     

    I am sorry that this might me not be the answer you were hoping for.

    If your current tarif is technically not available when moving to your new apartment, 
    you have the option of extraordinary termination of your Telekom contract with a notice
    period of 3 months to the end of the month (termination due to unavailability when moving)

    just call 0800 33 01000

    @harispap83 If you have entered contact details in your profile (cf. link in my signature), you can also wait until a Teamie will contact you. In that case, they will already know you are an English speaking customer.

Use of Utiq technology powered by your telecom operator


We, Telekom Deutschland GmbH, use the Utiq technology for digital marketing or analytics (as described on this consent notice) based on your browsing activity across our websites (only if you are using a supported internet connection provided by a participating telecom operator and consent on each website).

The Utiq technology is privacy centric to give you choice and control.

It uses an identifier created by your telecom operator based on your IP address and a telecom reference such as your telecom account (e.g., mobile number).

The identifier is assigned to the internet connection, so anyone connecting their device and consenting to the Utiq technology will receive the same identifier. Typically:

  • on a broadband connection (e.g., Wi-Fi), the marketing or analytics will be performed based on the browsing activities of consenting household members’.
  • on mobile data, the marketing will be more personalised, as it will be based on the browsing of the individual mobile user only.

By consenting, you confirm that you have permission from the telecom account holder to enable the Utiq technology on this internet connection.

You can withdraw this consent anytime via "Manage Utiq" at the bottom of this site or in Utiq’s privacy portal (“consenthub”). For more, see Utiq's privacy statement.
