Last reviewed 2026-06-05 · Documented-Policy tier · grade C

Telenet (BE) residential customers can cancel via phone (0800 66 350, free, Mon–Fri 8–20h, Sat 9–18h), an online web form (processed within 2 business days), registered mail to Telenet Klantendienst, Liersesteenweg 4, 2800 Mechelen, or in person at a Telenet Shop; add-ons and entertainment packages can be cancelled self-service in MyTelenet but full-subscription cancellation requires contacting customer service. Core internet and TV services have no minimum contract duration and no early termination fee; mobile subscriptions tied to a subsidised device require paying the residual device value. For streaming and channel packages (1-month contract), any prepaid amount is credited to the next invoice; cancellation within the first month incurs a fee for remaining days. The Easy Switch scheme lets a new operator handle the full port-away process using the customer's Easy Switch ID from their invoice.

Evidence

Scope & fairness

This is the Documented-Policy tier: it measures how clearly the cancellation policy is published (cited, dated facts), not the behavioural experience of cancelling (Verified-Flow audit pending). Every company is scored on the same five dimensions with the same published weights — scores cannot be bought or removed. It is opinion grounded in disclosed facts, and not legal advice.
