I just had an unbelievable conversation with Odido support. My Internet is down since yesterday. Of course, because Odido can't be bother to provide support in the evenings, I could only report it to them this morning at 8:00am.

They determined it's most likely an infrastructure problem outside the home, so they will send me an email where I’ll have a link to make an appointment with an engineer to come and fix it.

Three hours later, no email. I called again, and they said the reason for having to wait 24hrs for that email, is that the engineers need to check first if the support person who took the support call followed the correct procedure (I kid you not!). To be clear: it's not 24hrs for the engineer to come. It's 24hrs waiting time just to be able to start making an appointment for an engineer - who knows how long that will take.

So while you as a customer you're sitting home with a non-functioning service, Odido takes their sweet time with internal bureaucracy.

Helping customers is clearly not a big priority with Odido. Oh well, time to look at offers from the competitors, if Odido doesn't want my money.

Hi @sebastian_paul2, welcome to our Community!

Good of you to bring this up. I immediately checked for you and see that customer service has now sent a technician to you. Can you give me some feedback on this when it is done? Then I can keep an eye out for you. Hopefully the technician will be able to fix this for you straight away! 


Hi Tommie, have you actually read the message that I’ve posted? It took almost a day between the Internet going down, and the time when I was finally able to make an appointment with the technician. And then the earliest availability was the next day. And no, the Odido customer service has not “sent a technician”, that statement is factually incorrect. The Odido customer service needed 5 hours to just send my an email with a link where I had to go and do the booking for the technician myself.

So the Internet went down Sunday, and the technician only came Tuesday.

What’s even more annoying, is that the problem turned out to be (predictable) in the street cabinet, not in the house. That should be something that Odido could have monitored and diagnosed directly, and fix it first thing Monday morning, rather than making me as a customer go through the whole pointless process and waste my time.

Based on this experience, the title of the topic was, sadly, proven true by Odido: the Odido support is extremely disappointing.
