Question 2

How do I change my internet provider?

Accepted Answer

It is very simple, the first thing you should do is to find the best internet provider for your address. This point is very important since the internet speed available at your address depends on the technology that is installed within your building. Therefore, we first ask you to enter your address so that we can display the best plans for you based on the internet availability at your address. Once you have found your ideal internet plan you can order it for the date after your cancellation period. In most contracts the period of notice is 60 days. To cancel your internet contract with your current internet provider we recommend you to send a letter via registered post to your provider's address.

Is my data secure?

When you place an order for a plan with us, all your personal data will be processed in the AWS server of amazon in Europe, which is the best-known encrypted server in Europe. Any image of you will be automatically deleted after the virtual verification has been done.

Question 6

Why digital identification?

Accepted Answer

Since March 2018 a law in Switzerland (SPTA)requires all telecom providers to identify their customers. No worries, you don’t need to go to a shop and wait in line. As part of our process, you can simply upload a picture of your ID and take a selfie to verify it’s really you. Our platform compares your ID versus your image and deletes the register of your image right after. This process allows us to make the order process 100% digitally, faster and free of charge.
