What can I receive damage compensation for?

The liability for damages due to...
If written approval is required, should the call still be recorded?

Can I be bound without having ordered anything?
A seller must never deliver a service and demand payment for it during the marketing of a service if you have not explicitly ordered it.

I can’t get a fibre connection where I live – what can I do?

You can therefore ask different fiber providers if they want to offer you a fiber connection and how much it might cost. You can also investigate if there...
Does installing fibre increase the value of the property?

Can the provider disconnect my landline if I miss a mobile bill payment?
If you are suspended, the operator should limit the interruption to the service that is unpaid if it is technically possible. Example: The operator must not disconnect your landline subscription due to an unpaid bill for your mobile subscription, as these services are independent of each other.

What happens if I’m late with a payment on an interest-free instalment plan?
