Re: Engineer

Thanks for the replies, I'll carry on waiting. I'm 16 so I'm just doing homework at the moment. However my mum did take the day off work which hopefully wasn't a waste of time.

Re: Engineer

Apologies for this, I'm chasing this up. It seems that the engineer cancelled the appointment due to heavy workload.
I've requested an expedite on this and will update you as soon as I have an update.

Re: Engineer

I think Openreach should be fined if never turn up and should pay to the customer who wasted the holiday day off work.

Re: Engineer

Quite simply, it should be symmetrical.
OR charge around £150 if no-one is at the property (and there are plenty of examples where they seem to lie about that) so it should be the same paid to the customer  if they don't turn up on schedule.
Also there is absolutely NO EXCUSE for not informing the customer; why do PlusNet allow this sorry absence of communication to continue?

Re: Engineer

I agree 100%
I urgently asking the management of plusnet to add feature on the member account of real live status (engineer visit tracking status) so the customer can see it and see the live status. See picture below for example:

Re: Engineer

@Danhaswings
I've left you a voicemail, I've booked an engineer to install your service tomorrow 8am -1pm. I hope that is ok for you, if it's not please let me know.

We do feed these instances back to our suppliers weekly, I know Adam has been dealing with this and I'm not 100% sure the exact stage or progress that is at.
It would be great to have the live status of engineers, it would be something that requires a lot of work as it's not our engineers that are used and we require updates from their systems and not ours. It looks like from the one you've posted it's Virgin which have their own engineers.

Re: Engineer

I've just seen that your engineer has not arrived, I really do apologise for this, not that that helps.
This is being chased up now and we'll be in-touch ASAP.
