Deutsche Glasfaser suffers defeat in court

▤ Summary

Deutsche Glasfaser lost a court case in Bochum over when a contract’s minimum term begins. The court ruled that the term starts at contract conclusion, typically with the order confirmation, not at technical activation. That decision blocks the provider from extending customer commitments by delaying construction or activation. The ruling gives customers clearer rights to cancel when installations take a long time. It also reinforces the legal standard already set by the Federal Court of Justice.
