Bought new contract with Plusnet, then advised full fibre not av, looked on Open Reach, it is!

Rhetorik2018 — Fri, 23 May 2025 16:38:42 GMT

as above, i had paid contract, O/R engineer booked,, had to change carer day ,and other inconveniences. I luckily had to ring to advise them on something, when they advise me i wasn't able to have full fibre, and it was only 'on demand; at the moment.

I left it there and relectantly planned to stay with my supplier, but just checked and on O/R postcode finder, it says it is available!

I then have repeatedly asked to speak to a senior manager complaints team, so they could speak to /OR(other suppliers freq do) and basically cut off, I wanted to rtn to Plusnet as i was with them years, but i now think something has happened with the company

Only thing i can think of, is that you can pay O/R just to do the FF install, not sure.

Oh and there is no way of contacting O/Reach

@Rhetorik2018

What does the following Checker say.

https://www.broadbandchecker.btwholesale.com/#/ADSL

You're looking for WBC FTTP in the left hand column and Available to the right. There should also be a narrative below the results window about the install if WBC FTTP shows up.

Hi, i think the C/Service thought that 'on demand' meant it wasn't in my area yet!

i have already done the P/Code checker, and yes it says it is available,plusnet is also allowing me puchase a FF package again! This is a really unprofessional state of affairs and i want to escalate it, its clearly happening to others.

wont post on other page now, just here

@Rhetorik2018

If you can post a screen image fo the results plus narrative (after hiding your details) that would be helpful. To do so (after saving the image to your PC) click on the link ablut the text reply that looks like this.

The PN system basically uses the same Checker as we use (it might hacv a bit more information). If it says Yes, then PN accept the order. If it says no, then PN reject the order. A FTTP install appointment is always provisional until OR confirm they are available - you get a confirmation of date e-mail.

Even on the day, problems can be found which results in a delay or cancelled install.

As for complaints there is a form somewhere on the PN site - I just don't know where.

"On demand" means available with a very substantial customer payment.
