I got my FB 6360 of KabelBW today. These here are a few details:
After reading all the reviews here (and the comments on them) I have a feeling that many more confused by the comments here are as before.
Again very clearly:
The 6360 box works flawlessly with your cable connection.
-> The only requirement is that you be ordered directly at KabelBW.
KabelBW on you free ONLY the Fritz box that you have ordered directly from the customer.
What else is important to know:
Your Date for the duration of your contract period only owners (or tenants) of the box.
Ownership remains KabelBW. You pay for the box 5 a month and they have to for termination of contract again return.
Premature sale on Ebay for example, is illegal and you can be prosecuted.
But now comes the question, why do I have ever subsequently ordered this box and pay for it 5:
Before the house we had the Technicolor TC7200 modem.
It gives me absolutely inexplicable how KabelBW can have the audacity to piss their customers so
and this disease of electronic waste impose changes to their customers.
This product is pure in my sight pollution and the production should be stopped immediately.
It should absolutely not be easy, that the modem (not the internet!) Crashes spontaneously and very often easy.
This crash is expressed so that suddenly the Internet is gone and after a while the bottom right is a yellow exclamation mark on the Lanverbindung appears. One possibility is to disable the Lanverbindung, then it goes after activating sometimes again for 2-3 minutes until it's gone again. The only remedy, if one takes the TC7200 from current and complete restart it.
And even then it was mostly still so that it comes in 10-20 minutes to disconnections.
I mean, KabelBW has campaigned for some time for a 99.9% availability of their products.
That was definitely not respected.
If you call the customer service it is, the fault lies with us. In relevant forums, however, one reads that many users share the same sorrow. The TC7200 is and remains simply a bad design.
When we learned that you can rent for a FB 6360 5 / month it was clear that the must be found.
Why not direct the Fritz box is offered in the contract makes me think .... (A rogue who thinks this evil ;-)). Could indeed be intent ... I mean, 5 month (24x5 = 125) is not so much money. And the device belongs to one at the end not even.
Well anyway, I have today (determined 1h long) clicked times through each menu in the 6360 FritzBox and am absolutely delighted with the device.
Although for me is faxing, fixed-line telephony, wireless print, NAS server, voicemail, an alarm over the phone (3 adjustable), DECT, ...... and very, very much more (!!) only playing, but can greatly many possibilities open.
In addition, the explanatory notes to each setting.
One does not investigate every single adjustment on the net, no, it is absolutely logically explained and you know immediately
how to set up something and whether you need it or not at all.
I've never before had a FritzBox, so perhaps the euphoria about the device (or should I say the device ;-)?).
So again in brief:
- Do you have problems with your modem TC7200?
- Are you ready to pay 5 / month for 6360?
Then calls at KBW unit is delivered by DHL to 2-3 working days. Connecting to call customer support and after 1h went back the Internet.
A report on the reliability I can not yet give. But will complement this contribution, should something strike me negative.
To Ask ?? Then come animals, I look here a while ago.
