This is definitely not the case in Germany, unless there has been a very recent change in legislation. There are lots of scummy companies in Germany that make you fax/email copies of official ID to unsubscribe, even if joining was possible with a click of a button.
- tormeh 8y agoI'd say that this is more common than not. Fax/mail is the standard among the telecoms. That said, I'm trying really hard to buy internet from Deutsche Telekom right now without much success, so it might just be that they're really struggling to make anything work at all, and they prioritize selling. I don't know how Germany got here. It's just absolutely insane at this point.
- kuschku 8y agoThey simply violate the law and don't care about it, it's that simple. It wouldn't be the first time they did that. I've been waiting since November to try and switch ISPs cause Unitymedia is as reliable as RFC 1149.
- crankylinuxuser 8y ago> reliable as RFC 1149 Don't tell me... As reliable as Twitter? It's got birds :-D
- germanier 8y agoSince October 2016 this practice is explicitly outlawed (for most cases) https://www.bmjv.de/SharedDocs/Artikel/DE/2015/12182015_Verbandsklagerecht.html https://www.bmjv.de/SharedDocs/Artikel/DE/2015/12182015_Verb... Although the way you describe it probably wasn't legal for a long time.
