Switched to Plusnet - not a good start

I switched my phone rental and broadband from BT to Plusnet, and the switch was due to take place today. My BT phone and broadband stopped working this morning, then I got an email from Plusnet saying my phone was now active (and it is). Problem is, the broadband has not been activated, and there appears to be no way to contact anyone at Plusnet. The chat app does not seem to work, and no-one ever answers the phone (I have tried numerous times). I'm beginning to see why it is cheaper than BT. Have I made a big mistake in (trying) to switch? If the broadband is activated later today, it won't be so bad, but not being able to contact anyone at Plusnet is pretty poor customer service in my book Sad

I'm in a similar situation, been waiting for activation of my broadband for almost a month now. Customer service has also been terrible, really wish i stayed with Sky now.

I finally managed to get through on the phone. When I asked when my broadband would be activated, they just said 'Oh, it looks like the engineer has switched you over, we just need to activate here' - which they did in 5 seconds flat! Not sure why it wasn't done earlier, but hey, it's all good now Smiley
