I reported my move of address to KPN. They said I would have WiFi when I arrived at my new address. When I arrived there, there was no access to WiFi. KPN does not provide WiFi at this new address and yet I am being forced to pay for the WiFi here still. If KPN had told me I was moving to a zone without KPN WiFi then I could have cancelled in advance. 
 

KPN, please don’t charge me for a service you did not provide. I’ve called over 15 times to resolve this and sent multiple emails. Yet I still am receiving invoices.

Hi ​@BenjaminHELP, welcome to the KPN Community!

First of I want to inform you that I have changed your username to just BenjaminHELP. We do not allow our users to have a username containing KPN. Only moderators are allowed to have KPN in their name. This way, you'll always be able to tell who our moderators are.

Okay, then onto the actual problem at hand. You say you asked to have your internet moved with you to your new address. However, you say that KPN does not deliver internet to your new address. And as such. you are now ‘stuck with’ a subscription that you cannot use. If this truly is the case, if KPN really does not deliver on your address, the subscription should have been cancelled. However, if there is just no fiber, but cable is available, then KPN is able to deliver. And thus you will be able to keep your subscription. The fact that fiber is not available is not a reason to cancel your subscription if cable is available.

Regardless, I am afraid the KPN Community is not the best place for your specific question. The KPN Community is a place where our customers can help each other. And I think it's best if our customer service looks into this more. Therefore, I'd suggest to contact us via phone again. You can make an appointment here: belafspraak. One of my colleagues will then help you. If you'd rather not call, you can also contact our customer service via one of our socials: Instagram, Facebook of X.

Hi ​@BenjaminKPNHELP , if you pay for internet, then you should have a router present at your new address.

Have you seen it, have you installed it? Wifi does not magically appear if you pay for it, you must have an internet subscription at your address. Your internet will be provided over glassfiber or DSL, and on your end, there must be a router such as the KPN Experiabox.

So, what does your subscription say about internet?

Magically appearing WiFi would have been amazing. But sadly I didn’t even get regular WiFi. 
 

I had everything set up, but unfortunately KPN does not provide fibre in this location. But they didn’t tell me that when I reported my move. If they had, I could have had time to cancel the subscription.

Thanks for your response. 
 

You’re right, I meant there is no cable. No wifi access.
 

I only came to this community because I’ve exhausted all other options. 

Countless calls and emails. But it seems no one wants to sort this out.

Normally, I would not do this. But if you add your address to your profile, I can check if your address should have an internet connection or not.

Thank you. 
 

I’ve added my address.

As far as I can see, you should have an internet connection on your address. You should be able to get 200 Mbit/s on your address. If you cannot find the internet connection point, it might be necessary for a technician to have a look. My advice would be to make a phone call appointment.

Thanks Denise for your effort. 
 

Unfortunately, after many calls I have been assured that there is no access to KPN WiFi at this address. They said there is a known issue with copper wires?

 

It seems there is a breakdown of communication somewhere within KPN as to what exactly is going on. 
 

I waited on a technician to arrive in June. I was assured “he’s on his way”. But he never arrived. 
 

Im ready to give up, it’s only 44 euros after all, but the way this has been dealt with is unjust.

As far as I can see, KPN should be able to deliver internet via cable on your address.

Regardless, this is all I can help you with. I understand you would like your money back for the time you were unable to use internet at the new address. But the Community is a place for customers to help each other. This specific question is not something we can help with. Therefore, I'd suggest to contact us via phone again.
