I have been a plusnet customer for two years now and generally the broadband connection is good and the service reliable, however getting Plusnet to actually connect your property or upgrade your service is a nightmare. They seem to have a complete inability to do this. my initial order took the best part of a month to complete despite being given assurances that it would only be 10 days, changing to fibre lead me to being billed for a service that i didn't receive while on a waiting list despite being assured that it would happen imminently. Now i am attempting to move house and once again promised 10 days, revised to a month, have the feeling that this will run on and on as has been the previous experience. Being given the "Its BT, no engineer etc" excuse, but BT can connect me on that day no problem...

Hi @rowanprice22,
A warm welcome to the forums...

When an ISP reports "Its a 'BT' problem then they mean its a BT Openreach (BTOR) who service all of the lines and the available connection ports or BT Wholesale (BTw) who sell BTOR services to all of the ISPs including BT Retail.
BT Retail might believe that they can provide a connection on that day ... until they actually attempt to place an order ... when they are very likely to encounter the exact same supplier (BTw / BTOR) issues Plusnet have reported ... unless BTw / BTOR are showing favouritism to BT Retail ... but of course they don't do that do they ... Ofcom would be oh so miffed if they did!!
Taking over an existing line in a house move is fraught with difficulty - especially if the present line's user has requested their supplier to stop the line. Until the stop date no supplier can place orders against that line. As I said BT Retail might believe they can (in principle supply for that date) but until they actually attempt to place an order they do not KNOW the full facts.
