Broadband not activated

I have moved house and moved my Plusnet service with me. The phone line was connected yesterday and the engineer said that broadband would be active the same day. The broadband is not working, however, 24 hours later. Can you check this for me, please?

Hi will47,
I'm sorry to hear that your broadband hasn't activated yet. I've replied to Ticket: 87300218 for you.

Re: Broadband not activated

Let me guess - it wasn't ordered as a simultaneous provide and the broadband order is only being placed today.

Re: Broadband not activated

It was placed as a SIM Order, but the SIM Order failed, so the order has been re-placed today.

Thank you for your quick response. What does "the order failed" actually mean? Your colleague on the phone, whom I found difficult to understand, put in the ticket describing our conversation that the BT order had been cancelled. How can this have happened?
Waiting another 5-7 days is inconvenient to say the least. I would not have agreed to stay with Plusnet had I known that this was going to be the outcome.

Re: Broadband not activated

Hi will47,
When we place the initial order, we aim to try and get both your services up and running on the same day. In some cases, this can't happen if there is a delay with your telephone order for example. It could be an issue with the order within our suppliers systems which we can't foresee unfortunately.
We try our best to state, as we have on your ticket, that Simultaneous Orders aren't guaranteed and can fail and if that does happen, we'll move as quickly as possible to re-place the order.

Re: Broadband not activated

Can you confirm that the simultaneous order was accepted by BTw and when did it fail?
Why, only after the customer enquired has a fresh order only been placed today?

Re: Broadband not activated

It was accepted by our suppliers and it failed today as there was a delay to the Phone Order completing.
As it failed today, we re-placed the order today.
