The rule is pretty simple: you have to be able to cancel a subscription the same way you signed up for it. If you used the Internet to sign up there better be a fucking button that allows you to cancel.

Damn, thanks for the info. I used Boost, it told me it failed/timed out the first two times and only displayed the third, successful, attempt.
Heads up - this identical comment seems to have posted three times.
Thanks. Looks like Boost still has some kinks, I got timeout messages for the first two attempts and they weren't shown to me either.
I cancelled my mobile contract in Germany last month, and I had to submit in their web portal that I wished to cancel, and then call them to confirm the cancellation.
It was with Klarmobil.
Yes, Drillisch is one of the companies currently simply ignoring the law. They will probably continue to do so until they get successfully sued and/or fined into compliance.

Here in Paraná there's a rather old law against that too, from 2007. Back then the concern was phone companies and credit card companies doing it, but the law was worded in a surprisingly sensible way, so it protects customers against online roach motels too. I'll coarsely translate it from Portuguese, (sourced from p203):
Law #15627, 18/Sep/2007
*Enforces that providers of continued services are required to ensure to customers the ability to request the cancellation of the service through the same means which the acquisition was requested, as specified.
It seems that the governor back then was already expecting companies to rule-lawyer and say "ackshyually we aren't offering [service], we're offering [same service under different name], so it doesn't apply to us", so the way that article #3 was worded basically lists examples, not an exhaustive list. As much as I hate that specific governor I can't help but think that he did a good job with this law.
