@Pliohioru30 does it have to say Swisscom? How about this, for example?

Just one of many possibilities:

Thanks for your answer.
For me, your suggestion is not a really satisfactory solution.
As written: the Internetbox 2 is already running. I don’t have to turn this on first.
I have to buy a separate NAS even though there is a simple solution (USB-Anschluss)!
It also annoys me that Swisscom simply switches off a USB-Anschluss on MY device.
NAS in the Internet box seems to have already been eliminated.
This option is already missing from the configuration screen.
Why doesn’t Swisscom keep its own promises so that there is still time to set up your own NAS?
The NAS in the box simply has the advantage that an additional power consumer does not have to run 7 × 24 hours.
One defect was that suddenly longer paths/file names (around 240 characters) were suddenly no longer possible. Most of the time the cause is the long chain of subpaths, rather than the file names that are too long.
I could have done without external access, but I usually had problems with it.
This decision by Swisscom is very bad.
So I assume that on March 1st, 2023 Swisscom will happily upgrade MY Internetbox-2 and switch off the USB function of MY device. This means that MY functioning device, which does NOT belong to Swisscom, is knowingly and intentionally damaged or its ability to work is impaired. And that without MY permission.
I would have accepted it if Swisscom had produced new devices without this function, i.e. without a USB output, which would have replaced the old ones over time.
But I find it outrageous that customers’ functioning devices are deliberately “damaged” in order to force customers to switch to the paid cloud. These are the well-known mafia methods: if you don’t pay my protection, your shop will blow up. This is an infringement on the freedom of customers.
If this measure is not withdrawn, I will look for alternatives, I mean alternative providers.

The central storage shutdown is set in stone and will not be reversed.
In article 157 Roger wrote why this happens.
I’m not really happy either, but safety is the first priority. So I understand the decision.
I have had email contact with customer service. They don’t respond to the complaints at all. It is decided and irreversible. Although, as you correctly point out, this is damage to someone else’s property. They don’t care one bit. Cloud suddenly costs fees, USB Anschluss no longer works. It’s not the customer who is king, but Swisscom. The customer is the spoiled one.
@JJ Well, what should the customer service say, they are just “recipients of orders” and pass on company decisions. Are you supposed to say that they care even though they have no ability to change it themselves? That wouldn’t be honest either? I assume that the dissatisfaction that comes across here and in the contact options will also be passed on to the decision-makers, but whether this will result in a change in the decision can almost be ruled out.

I think so too, but it would be good for the top dog in Switzerland if he gave something to the people who are fundamentally affected by such a decision. For example, a free update to the next higher Internet box, or something similar.
Promotions such as cell phone discounts or other things are only offered to new customers. Long-time, loyal customers are only given one IB option, or the cloud becomes subject to a fee.
