When this helps

  • You use Ziggo in Netherlands.
  • Your connection is slower than expected, drops out or performs badly at certain times.

Check your SmartWifi modem

These checks apply to SmartWifi modem. Check the model before following its menus.

  1. Sign in to Mijn Ziggo and start the ServiceScan.

  2. It tests your connection and Wi-Fi remotely and gives advice.

  3. If the scan doesn’t solve it, contact Ziggo’s Wifi Crew from the results.

Separate the service from your home Wi-Fi

For the exact settings and supported equipment, see the SmartWifi modem guide.

Do not factory-reset the equipment as a first step. A reset can erase service settings and interrupt phone service.

  1. Compare a wired connection to the router with Wi-Fi on the same device.

  2. Repeat the same test server during the slowdown and at a quieter time.

  3. Record download, upload, latency and whether another household device was using the connection.

How to complain to Ziggo

Use Ziggo’s official support to report the fault. Request a formal complaint reference if it remains unresolved.

Include the plan wording, dates, test conditions, previous references and the specific outcome you want. Ask for a written response.

Check the complaints procedure in your Netherlands service contract before escalating. Use the national regulator’s consumer guidance for your service.
