FAQ
TL;DR: Netia often quotes 21 days for full setup. "They have 21 days for the entire procedure." Decide before your 14-day withdrawal window if delays persist. [Elektroda, majka420, post #17174648]
Why it matters: For people signing Netia TV+Internet+Phone, this FAQ sets realistic timelines, helps decide whether to wait or withdraw, and shows how to chase installations.
Quick Facts

- On a 20 Mb/s line with multiroom, two decoders dropped internet to ~11 Mb/s. [Elektroda, gracjantorhan20, post #17174798]
- Reported reliability: about one minor outage per year, but speeds felt low. [Elektroda, gracjantorhan20, post #17174798]
- Edge case: Internet didn’t work for two months; user terminated and later won in court. [Elektroda, kaleron, post #17178168]
How long does Netia take from signing to installation?
A consultant told one customer they have 21 days for the entire procedure, including assembly. Plan around that window for TV, internet, and phone. If your order isn’t visible yet, track progress and set expectations accordingly. [Elektroda, majka420, post #17174648]
How fast can a Netia installer show up?
One user reported the fitter arrived in about seven days. “I had to wait about 7 days for a fitter.” Treat that as an example, not a guarantee. [Elektroda, gracjantorhan20, post #17174715]
Should I cancel within 14 days if my contract isn’t in the system?
Consider waiting, but keep the 14-day withdrawal window in mind. A consultant said the full process can take up to 21 days. If nothing moves by your personal deadline, withdraw before day 14. [Elektroda, majka420, post #17174648]
Will Netia fiber avoid speed issues?
A customer noted fiber should avoid problems seen on copper. “Once you have the optical fiber, you shouldn’t have problems.” Expect better stability when your line is fiber. [Elektroda, gracjantorhan20, post #17175092]
Why does my internet slow down when both TV decoders are on?
TV decoders share your line’s bandwidth. One user on a 20 Mb/s plan saw speeds drop to around 11 Mb/s when two decoders ran. Expect lower throughput during simultaneous TV use. [Elektroda, gracjantorhan20, post #17174798]
How reliable is Netia compared to Vectra?
One user had weekly issues on Vectra despite a 100 Mb/s plan. With Netia, they saw only one failure in a year, though speeds were lower. Reliability improved, but peak speed decreased. [Elektroda, gracjantorhan20, post #17175918]
Are upgrade promises (like fiber) reliable?
A customer was promised fiber before signing, then heard nothing afterward. “They only promised me the fiber optics before signing the contract and now silence.” Treat upgrade timelines as tentative unless confirmed in writing. [Elektroda, gracjantorhan20, post #17174798]
How long can it take to get answers about modernization or upgrades?
Responses can be slow. “It’s been two weeks waiting for an answer.” If upgrades drive your decision, ask for written timelines or consider other providers. [Elektroda, gracjantorhan20, post #17174753]
What if only my phone works after installation?
Document the issue and open a fault ticket immediately. One user’s internet failed for two months while the phone worked. They terminated for provider fault, disputed invoices, and won in court. “The Internet failed to run for two months.” [Elektroda, kaleron, post #17178168]
Does Netia use subcontractors, and can that delay installs?
Yes. One poster described a chain of subcontractors handling fiber pulling and splicing. “Another company pulls fibers... another welds the fibers.” Outdated plans can cause issues. [Elektroda, Interesant, post #17178737]
If my neighbor has Netia, am I safe to sign?
A nearby working line is encouraging for connection feasibility. Still, one user warned that post‑signing support can disappoint. “You won’t have problems during the connection due to the optical fiber, but what nobody knows about it later.” [Elektroda, gracjantorhan20, post #17178403]
I canceled and now regret it—can I reorder with Netia?
Yes. One reply was direct: “Order again.” If availability remains and no fees apply, place a fresh order. [Elektroda, KOCUREK1970, post #17185925]
What speeds can I expect versus the “up to 100 Mb/s” plan?
One poster’s contract guaranteed up to 100 Mb/s on fiber. Expect “up to” to reflect an upper bound, not a constant rate. Verify the access type listed in your contract. [Elektroda, majka420, post #17174914]
How do I chase an order that isn’t in the system?
- Call support to confirm they see your order record.
- Ask for an installation timeline, noting the “21 days including assembly” guidance.
- Set a decision point before day 14 to withdraw if nothing progresses. [Elektroda, majka420, post #17174648]
I got a call offering higher speed—should I trust it?
Be cautious and verify via the official hotline. One user got a speed‑increase call, then the call dropped, and the hotline knew nothing. “I suppose someone was impersonating.” Decline offers you cannot verify. [Elektroda, gracjantorhan20, post #17175092]
