AmBush2k — Thu, 14 Nov 2019 07:37:22 GMT

First off I do not expect this post to achieve any miracles to expedite our order, nor do i expect any more Empty promises, false sympathy or meaningless apologies.

(My hope is others see this and think very carefully about their options and MAYBE Plusnet to Take note

[quote]*Home or office move FAQs

What do I need to do before I move?

Moving can be a pretty stressful experience, so whether it's a new home or office you're going to, we'll try and make taking Plusnet with you as easy as possible.

First, you'll need to tell us when you're moving and where you're moving to. Three weeks' notice would be ideal, giving us plenty of time to get everything set up.

You'll also need to get your phone line provider (if it's not already us) to give you a date for when that will be set up. Also ask them for a Linked Order Reference Number (LORN).

Then just give us a call on 0800 013 2632 and leave the heavy lifting to us.*[quote]

Oh really, I'm over 50 and have a bad back One less worry. That's brilliant.(or so i thought)

[quote]*You're off to a new address

It's easy to take Plusnet with you to your new home.

Just call us on 0800 587 1952 and tell us:

Your Plusnet username
Your current telephone number
Your new home address
Your move date (give us as much notice as you can, ideally 2-3 weeks)

Then relax. We're sure you'll be busy - so we'll take care of the rest. In most cases Plusnet broadband and phone is set up and ready for the day you move into your new home.

Need help or more info? Give us a call or read our Moving Guide FAQs(this link opens in a new window or tab).*[quote]

They make it sound so easy right? thats what we thought

Before we phoned, myself and partner had a discussion which was something like this.

Her: I think you Should Terminate your contract With Plusnet and I'll open a new one?

Me: Naaa, it wouldnt be any quicker

Her: Should we Switch ISP

Me: Lets have a look, After a lot of searching and consideration The answer was no, I know they get things wrong a lot but their cheap.(She doesn't talk to me now)

We now have the Keys to new Property. Openreach engineer is due Between 13:00-18:00, So at 12:45

Past experiences with Openreach had been good they were usually On time. We head off to the new Property, Arriving at 12:49 We enter new property With her Brother and his wife, we give them a tour and they leave me waiting for Openreach, while they continue loading possessions into cars

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

16:36 First call to Plusnet to enquire the status of the Engineer, We were told he could still turn up until 18:00 (We had no Gas or Electricity connected as yet so I was getting cold and suffering back pain with only a Bergan to sit on)🤧

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

19:17 Second call to Plusnet This time we were informed that there was no engineer due to visit the property today as the order had been rejected. 😟 Getting very vexed at this point.

Thank you for your call today and please allow me to apologise that you were not aware that we had had some problems placing your orders and that your engineer would not be attending today.

As we discussed, once your order commits we will be able to confirm your new committed date and the next steps.

We will give you a call to advise you of your committed date as soon as we receive the information from Openreach. If you have any questions in the meantime please do not hesitate to get in touch and we will be happy to help you.

Dear Mr NNNNNN,

Good afternoon,

Thank you for your call today, it was great speaking with you. As per our conversation, I am very sorry for the delays in your services activating in your new home. Moving forward, I can confirm that your Plusnet phone and broadband orders have not been committed by our suppliers, so I cannot provide you with an installation as off yet. However you should receive a text and email in the next 24 working hours with a confirmed installation date.

This is because when our orders are placed, it takes 48 hours for them to be built on the system, and for us to receive a confirmed engineer installation date.

If you have any questions then please let us know by replying to this ticket through the Member Centre link below or giving us a call on 0800 432 0200 or on 0345 140 0200 and we will be happy to help.

Dear Mr NNNNNNNNNNNNNN,

Good afternoon, thank you for taking my call.
To confirm what we've discussed, although the advisor that I spoke to yesterday who had expedited the order had placed the request correctly, Openreach's internal system turned it back & changed the committed date back to the 22nd of November. In order to rectify this issue, the agent I've spoken to today has sent the new request to a member of their back-end team to try and ensure that the new appointment of the 14th of November between 8am & 1pm commits correctly.
I will keep my eye on this and keep you updated once I see changes later today. If you have any queries or concerns then please reply to this ticket at http://contactus.plus.net or you can give us a call on 0800 432 0200 or on 0345 140 0200.

The main reason I am posting this as a warning to anyone thinking of moving and retaining Plusnet as ISP.

Do research, ask yourself Is it worth the aggravation?

My partner was recently diagnosed with Cancer and needs to book appointments for treatment, She is also on long term medication for Anxiety and has Heart problems(one of the main reasons for moving) so needs to order medication online. I feel totally let down by Pussnet.
