I would never recommend this company. The customer service is a scam: incompetence (I was two months without internet because they were unable to activate my router) and lies. They promised to call back, they did not. They said they will reimburse me but they did not. They don't follow up email discussions. Looking forward to changing provider!

I placed my order for Glasfaser on 5 September 2026. I was explicitly told that the Freischaltung would take place on 25 September 2026 and that no technician would be required.
However, on 25 September a technician did come to my home for the activation. As I was not at home, the appointment could not take place. Instead of being able to arrange a new appointment immediately, I had to wait several days.
A new appointment was scheduled for 8 October 2026, but it did not take place for reasons that were never explained. I was not informed in advance and simply waited at home for someone to arrive.
Another appointment was made for 14 October 2026. I was at home, but shortly beforehand I received an email stating that the activation would instead be carried out remotely on 15 October 2026. Later, this was cancelled as well, again due to undisclosed technical reasons. The new date given was 26 October 2026 — almost two months after I placed my order.
Throughout this entire period, I have been without a proper internet connection. Calling customer service has not helped: the staff are unable to provide any concrete solution and, in my experience, simply end the call.
I find this level of service completely unacceptable. After three failed or cancelled appointments, I have little confidence that the appointment on 26 October will actually go ahead. I expect either another last-minute cancellation, no notification at all, or another vague “technical issue.”
I am asked to be patient, but this is not reasonable. The lack of reliable communication, the repeated cancellations, and the absence of any effective support are extremely disappointing. This is not the service customers should receive.

They cheated me by providing incorrect information, and after I signed the contract, they changed it.

1und1 customer since 2019. Fairly happy over the years. Recently “bought “ “2for1 deal “ on iPhone 17. Didn’t need two, but the service rep kept saying it was only 2for1, so I agreed. They sent two while I had to be out of the country. Came back home to find a 700 euro bill, extra sims which I did not order, and multiple contracts which never got cancelled. And now they have pushed the whole package to a bill collector.
Contacted 1und1 MULTIPLE times, spoke on the phone , followed the directions for writing an email explaining I didn’t order all this stuff and YES, that I CANCELLED THE OLD CONTRACTS. And then got an email stating everything should be in German. Did that. Now, nothing. They are good enough to take my money for years, but when I ask for help, not good enough to help me solve the billing problem. Terrible customer service.My recommendation : Take your business elsewhere - especially if your German is A1. Really unprofessional business model.

Worst customer service experience I have ever had.
My home internet suddenly stopped working, even though I have been paying for it every month. Both my husband and I work from home full-time, so this is not a small inconvenience, it completely disrupts our livelihood.
I spent an entire day calling customer service, only to be passed from one agent to another with no real help. Each rep asked me to verify my information five times in a row and then hung up on me. I was told a technician would come the next day, no one showed up. When I called again, I was told there was no appointment at all and that the earliest available visit would be in two weeks.
The attitude was shockingly rude and dismissive. I was even told, “This is Germany, this is how things work here,” as if that excuses the lack of accountability and shifting the blame on me.
To make matters worse, another agent later told me that I apparently haven’t had an active connection since June, so I have been using someone else’s connection which makes absolutely no sense considering I’ve been using and paying for the service the entire time. So not only is my connection gone without explanation, but no one can even clarify what happened or fix it promptly.
There is also no proper English-speaking support, which makes an already stressful situation even more difficult.
I have never felt the need to leave a negative review before, but this experience was beyond frustrating. Completely unprofessional, disorganized, and unwilling to take responsibility. I would strongly advise others to think twice before choosing this provider.

If you are trying to buy a contract Laptop with them, just be prepared for the worst experience. Their only interest is in the money you pay first. They took 3 weeks to deliver a laptop they had claimed will arrive next day! then they proceeded to cancel my contract and demand I return it. They are actually a bunch of bullies!

SHOCKING CUSTOMER SERVICE AND TREATMENT!
I was a very happy 1&1 customer for 5 years. In April I changed apartments and moved in with my partner who already has an existing internet contract. I cancelled my 1&1 contract in March, a month before moving via the customer portal. I also phoned them, and a customer service agent clearly stated that all was signed off and my contract was successfully cancelled. EVERY MONTH THEY CHARGE ME FOR INTERNET THAT I HAVE NOT USED SINCE APRIL. Every call center agent I speak to on phone and email say that they have no record of me cancelling my contract, despite me sending them the email proof that I did. I have confirmation of my cancelled contract and yet they won’t stop charging me. Please, spare yourself and do not trust this company.

Absolute worst internet service provider in Germany! Especially for expats.
-Claim to have English assistance via email but then response with "Please resend your email in German"
-Had countless issues with contract setup.
-Got told multiple times my contract doesn't exist in the system
-No technician offered when taking my Wi-Fi contract to a new apartment led to 3 months without Wi-Fi and being charged for those 3months
-I was informed that cancelling your contract via the app automatically leads to a 1 year extension of the contract unless cancelled in a very specific way.
I've spoken to very few individuals actually friendly and willing to help and for them I give 1 star but the company lacks in every other way!

I ordered an upgarde phone as my old one is playing up. I receieved confirmation and then 2 days they cancelled the order becuase I had a virus or trojan and also closed down access to my 1 and 1 account.
Absolutely no help at all from anyone, until finally got an email from FRAUD department to call them. SO called them, no security checks were done to make sure it was actually me, said oh yeah because you had moved we cancelled it. Not on hold, cancelled, but that he would fix my access and order would be sorted.
He didnt fix sh*t. But because the case was closed I now had to go through everything again from the start. Finally got someonewilling, able and competent who fixed access to 1 and 1 control centre, but as order had been cancelled noothing they could do.
So tried ordering same phone, but package was different, more expensive and now they wanted a deposit as well.
Trying to get through I want to complain I get hung up on, saying can you speak English please as my German is not good enough for technical discussions.... hang up.

I have been a customer of 1&1 Germany for almost 10 years, using both their DSL internet service and mobile phone contracts over the years.
My experience has been consistently positive. The DSL connection has been reliable and stable, and throughout all these years I have never experienced any major issues or critical outages. The internet service has always met my expectations and provided excellent performance.
Regarding mobile contracts, I have always received competitive pricing and attractive offers whenever I upgraded or changed my phone. What impressed me most is that their device warranty and protection services were genuinely reliable. Whenever there was an issue with a phone, it was handled quickly and professionally without unnecessary complications or unexpected costs.
Another major advantage is their customer service. Every representative I have dealt with has been friendly, professional, and helpful. For me personally, one of the biggest benefits is the availability of English-speaking support, which is something that many other German telecommunications companies still lack.
Overall, 1&1 has been one of the most reliable telecommunications providers I have worked with in Germany. Based on my long-term experience, I can confidently recommend them.

My internet was not working again and I contacted the support number when I asked if she could speak in English
She screamed at me saying that this was the German line and to contact them via email.
So unprofessional
Do not have 1&1
Internet is not stable
And costumer service is shit

How this company can even function in 2026? If you want to do anything, you need to call their support that keep bouncing you from one person to another without clear guidance or explanation. No proper online services or status updates on your requests.
Moving to a new place? Call us, we can't set you a new connection online. Calling? We can't explain why you can't move it and how to do so, but you can wait for weeks to get information. We don't care that you actually need internet.
Ended up canceling contract, which surprise also not possible to do without calling them....
New contact set instead (already regretting), and technician just doesn't show up in a booked time. And again calling, but no guidance or clarity from 1 & 1. Not their problem, not even sorry for inconvenience and proposal for an intermediate solution while you wait like other providers are doing. But I am paying YOU money. Don't care who you delegate this installation, I am buying this from you, so it's YOUR problem.
Really customer service is non existent here. Choose anyone else but them. I will make a switch as well, once things are settled. Don't want to give this company anything.

As a provider of internet connection: pretty basic. stable line, almost no problems for several years. Pricing okay, installation almost without problems.
Until I moved in with my girlfriend, so I left my flat and obviously did not need tje contract any more, as my gf already haf one. In germany there is a right to cancel the contract. Soni called service. wow. people trained to act st*p*d and „misunderstand“ you continuously. neglecting german laws, pretending they are not applicable. Each contact a farce, no help at all. Same with email contact to service: always got an irrelevant FAQ-answer to an unrelated topic, never an answer to my questions and pleads. so i was rioped out of several months of payment they did not esrn for service at i place i do not live, just because they - sadly - were unable to correctly reply to my wish to lawfully cancel my contract. poor people, poor company. happy to not work there. as well, they do not care if you want no ad or newsletters. they sh*t on DSGVO and send them anyways, even months after cancelling.
