New BT Line Installation

[#1]

I must admit the last 2 engineers that came to my property regarding my line were ok , chatty , one was a keen COD4 player  , spent most of the time he was here chatting about haw an XBOX360 Was better than a PS3 
Jameseh , i won't be proposing , i haven't even proposed to my other half of 6 years

. didnt you ever wonder how iam allmost allways on the forum. when us bt engineers come round to test your line the laptops not for testing but for just doing normal web surfing at you usage expense.
p.s thanks all you guys/girls that supply a cuppa tea why i surf the net at your house 
pps. iam not realy a bt engineer so dont pm spam with hate letters

[#5]

I think you're protesting too much   

[#6]

Yeah, and that sort of denial is just what we'd expect from an Openreach engineer.

[#7]

I am shortly about to order a new line using the £30 special offer rate. Will the BT engineer require access to the property (new build)?

[#8]

I would expect so, unless you want to have the telephone socket in the garden.
Its possible that the builder of the property paid for Openreach to come in and fit phone lines and master sockets as part of the build, but even so, the engineer would want access to the property to check that it had been correctly patched through.
I'm guessing this isn't the answer you wanted...
On the plus side, the engineer will have some work to do before he needs access to the property, so you could request that the engineer gives you 30mins notice if that helps you.

Getting back on subject  ;D.
The number BT gave me on the order will that be the number for the second line or is it just a dummy number for the order , asking because i thought i would ring it and it always comes up engaged 

[#10]

I would expect it to be the final number for the line, unless you have specifically asked for it to be provided with a dummy number (in anticipation of a number port or somesuch)

[#11]

AFAIK BT will give a number at the moment you make the request for a new line but always re-iterate that it can change between the date of the order and installation.
So far I have done three new lines over the past 4 years and always have ended up with the number given at the time the order was placed.

[#12]

BT still not been  No phone call from anyone , although BT called last night then just hung up after 2 rings  >:(.

[#13]

Well its in  , Engineer that connected the line back to the exchange even turned up to tell me its all copper and no ali , being as my area is notorious for ali  , so all should come good hopefully as my line PN is on i was told had some ali in places .
Now just whom to go with  , no ISP at the moment can give me any idea on what i will get as when they check BT have no info on the phone number  :'(.

[#14]

PM me the number and address and I'll see if I can find anything out.
BTW - Just put a new ticket on your account.

[#15]

The new line is due to be installed on the 22nd April. There are already sockets in the new place too. We are also keeping our number.
How soon does Plus Net want to know about the house move? When the line is installed?
