At long last, the German TelCo landscape is catching up with the rest of the E.U (apart from actual service quality & speed naturally).
The Telekommunikationsgesetzes (TKG) was amended to prevent providers keeping consumers prisoners for an extra year, if they don’t give notice in time. One month will no be enough.
*As before, new contracts may be concluded for up to 24 months. After this initial term, however, there will be no more automatic extensions that can only be canceled after a further 12 months. If, for example, you have not said after the 24 months whether you want to terminate or how you want to continue the contract, you can get out of an automatically extended contract at any time with a one-month notice period.*
*Telephone, Internet and mobile phone contracts, which are automatically renewed for long periods of time, will be a thing of the past.*
