KPN improves service to InternetPlusBellen customers



Den Haag, 14-12-06

InternetPlusBellen – internet and telephone in one package, without a separate telephone subscription – has become immensely popular in the short time since its introduction. At the moment, KPN is receiving as many as 20,000 orders a week.


The exponential growth rate of the new service has led to long waiting times for some customers. While 95% of applications are handled smoothly, 5% of customers experience glitches and are not receiving the standard of customer care that KPN offers the majority of its customers. KPN has taken action and announced a package of measures aimed at improving service for customers switching to InternetPlusBellen:

  • The customer service number 0900-0244 and the HetNet, Planet and Slim helpdesks will be charged at rates of 1 Eurocent per minute until waiting times have again become acceptable.
  • The capacity of the call centers has been doubled over the last few months.
  • The number of engineers available for installation has recently been upped to 350.
  • A specialized customer service team has been set up to deal with complex complaints, remaining personally involved from the customer’s first call until the problem has been solved.
