I got my Hub one router in the post 2 days ago and plusnet still haven't activated my broadband. the power light is orange and the broadband light is red. Plusnet sent a letter saying it would be activated a day after router arrived.

Re: Broadband Light on

You will need to have this question moved to the broadband section, also make sure you have the correct username and password entered in your router.

Re: Broadband Light on

Hi there,


Sorry to hear you're unable to connect to the internet.

I'm unable to find your account from your forum details.

Drop me a private message with your username and I'll take a look.

 

Thanks @Jamie37 I've checked the order and it's in progress for the 25th May.

It can take anytime up to midnight for the service to go live.

I'd advise turning your router off until you receive an email advising that your broadband's live.

Re: Broadband Light on

@Gandalf Why won't it activate until the 25th may, you have already taken the first payment so I would expect that you provide the service, I've already been without wifi for a week and my data is running low, please just activate it now?!!!!!

Re: Broadband Light on

I'm afraid it doesn't work like that. We placed your fibre order on the 18th, and there's a minimum lead time of 5 working days we have to give our suppliers for these type of orders. It requires an engineer to complete work at your cabinet.

 

Apologies for any inconvenience caused.

Re: Broadband Light on

@Gandalf Also we ordered the router and re activation last Sunday 14th may. So surely it should have been activated yesterday?? The phone line was up straight away so why not this.

Re: Broadband Light on

Looking into this, I can see your account was picked up by our provisioning team on the 16th May.

The phone line was restarted and became active on the 17th May.

We had to wait 24 hours for supplier records to update to show that Plusnet now provide the line.

We placed your fibre order on the 18th May, and this is progressing for the 25th May.

 

Appreciate your frustration by this process, but to restart a BT phone line just takes 24 hours, but fibre orders have a minimum lead time of 5 working days and sometimes can be pushed back due to engineer availability in your area.

Re: Broadband Light on

@Gandalf so do you know when the engineer is going to do it? There must be an early activation thing I could do?

Re: Broadband Light on

This should happen on the 25th May.

To expedite a fibre order, this costs £196+VAT and even then it's subject to engineer availability so there's no guarantee the date will be brought forward. Because of the very high cost, it's not really something we promote or offer.

Re: Broadband Light on

@Gandalf Thank You for your tips and advice, id be so grateful if you could try to speed up the activation. I will NOT be paying the faster activation Fee. Thankyou very much for your help.

No problems, but I'm afraid we can't speed this up.
