Re: New line, In Sync but no connection.

Either BT haven't finished all the jumpering or they have and haven't told Plusnet.
What was the date Plusnet advised that broadband would be enabled
Just a thought - have you set up the account details in the router

What was the date Plusnet advised that broadband would be enabled anytime up until midnight off the 22nd aug
Just a thought - have you set up the account details in the router User name and password verified from email plusnet sent me

In which case ring Plusnet and see if they will activate it early

@willfal6527
I've fully activated the account for you so it should be ready to connect now. Do beware that if there are any issues we won't be able to raise a fault with our suppliers until the order officially completes.

Thanks very much its working......... now for the sad bit.. When are you going to boot BT Wholesale's backside for connecting me to VP which is running HOT in my serving exchange.?????????????????????
There are multiple VP's and i have been connected to the VP which is the MOST over Subscribed.!!!

Re: New line, In Sync but no connection.

I'm afraid the only way we'd be able to get that looked at is if you raised a fault (I guess this would most likely be regarding slow speeds in the evening) - if you could get it raised to us at http://faults.plus.net we can get it raised and push for an engineer visit to get the move sorted. If you let us know when it's been done we'll escalate it for you.
ETA: Unfortunately that won't be possible until tomorrow, as that's when the order is due to complete.

I have performed 1 off the 3 required tests this evening on speedtester.bt.com 220kbps Up was all i achieved.. i will continue to test each hour tonight.
Btw.. getting an engineer out is not going to help matters.. I am an openreach engineer.. I installed the line on the 14th aug.. i jumpered the ADSL on the 15 Aug.. I made sure that the line i provided to my house was perfectly balanced and clean. go check the PQT results uploaded from my JDSU tester.!!
This is a BTW problem. The VP i have been connected to has been massively over subscribed. YOU NEED TO GET IT SHIFTED TO A NEW VP!! I am paying for the top package with the PRO add on.. where’s my priority.!

Re: New line, In Sync but no connection.

I've chased this up for you. When you did your speed test's it appears some other services/applications were using bandwidth at the time of your test. Can you please rerun the speedtest again for me on a wired connection and advise me of the result and I follow this up.

Re: New line, In Sync but no connection.

I m currently using a netgear DG834G V5
I have also tried a Linksys WRT54g with DDwrt firmware from my other (BT Employee) broadband connection at a different property.
I could if you really want me to, take home a plusnet supplied router (think its a Thompson) from the stock in my van which is used for Boost faults... i can assure you this will make no difference at all though.
