KPN Customer Nightmare: Installation Problems, Customer Service Issues, and More

The High ‌cost of Switching Internet Providers

Switching internet providers can seem ⁤like a good deal initially, ‍especially when they offer enticing promotions like free TVs and discounted rates. However, my recent ⁢experience with ‍KPN‌ has taught me a valuable lesson:⁣ sometimes, the cheapest‍ option comes with hidden costs and‍ unexpected headaches. While I initially considered switching to KPN due to their attractive offer – a two-year contract coupled with a new 43-inch TV – I quickly realized​ the realities of their service ⁢fell far short ‍of expectations. Having already experienced issues with our older ⁤television, the prospect of a ⁢brand ​new one seemed appealing. The advertised savings ‌of around 25 euros per month also made ‍the ‍switch tempting. However, the⁢ installation⁤ process‌ revealed a series of major problems. KPN’s installation team demonstrated a lack of professionalism ⁤and knowledge. Instead⁤ of utilizing existing empty pipes in the meter cupboard,they opted for ⁤a more disruptive approach,drilling thru concrete and leaving a trail of debris. This careless disregard for existing infrastructure resulted⁢ in damage that prompted legal action from the municipality against KPN. The problems didn’t stop there. ⁤The rear sidewalk was dug up multiple times, leading⁣ to persistent flooding ⁣whenever ⁤it⁢ rained. ​”Wow, I’m glad I ⁤got out of⁤ that,” I thought⁣ to myself, reflecting on the ordeal. This experience highlighted a crucial point: carefully consider ‍all aspects before switching ⁢internet providers. While attractive promotions may seem enticing, they can frequently ‌enough mask underlying ⁣issues and subpar⁣ service.
