Since November 2013, Telefónica Germany – known in Germany with their brand o2 –offers their customers a software
solution for the independent repair of Internet-access related problems. Based on m2selfrepair, mquadr.at has adapted
the DSL Soforthilfe to the specific requirements of o2 and given it its individual look & Feel.
With the DSL Soforthilfe, o2 offers its customers a free tool that provides real support exactly where it counts: on
the consumer home computer.
m2selfrepair’s proven concept – self-care software that offers real support
m2selfrepair meets a challenge ISPs all over the world have to face: How is it possible to guarantee that customers
remain online after the initial Internet access setup? Changing configurations, the influence of 3rd party software,
etc. – many factors can lead to a disrupted connection. For the most part, these factors are outside of the providers’
direct control – still, customers tend to hold them responsible for these problems. This results in countless calls to
the support hotline, and the hotline’s resolution of these problems is very costly and time-consuming.
m2selfrepair enables the diagnosis and repair of many typical errors directly on the consumer’s home computer.
m2selfrepair runs in the background and appears only when an error has been detected and repairs it automatically or
offers step-by-step instructions for manual repair. This way, errors are resolved before a call is made, reducing costs
for hotline and on-site support significantly.
Using a self-care solution pays off: raised efficiency of support hotline calls (less calls, better prepared
customers), increased trust in the provider and its products, and improved customer satisfaction. Many leading Internet
Service Providers profit from m2selfrepair –o2 does so now as well in Germany with the DSL Soforthilfe.
