I've replaced the order and I'll confirm the new date as soon as I can.
Really sorry about this.

I see Matt has popped offline on the forums but I can see the order has been accepted by BT Wholesale this time and was indeed placed correctly, showing a committed date for the 18th, sadly a bit of a wait but this one will go ahead without issue

Thanks for taking the time to reply, I appreciate it, I also appreciate none of this is your fault and you are trying top assist me
Bit disappointed with having to wait another 3 weeks if I am completely honest, especially seen as the order was supposed to be placed last Friday and the wait time then was only 1 week! Also I live in a very rural area, there is no way on this earth that the OR engineers that service my local exchange are booked up solid for the next 3 weeks, no way, not possible not even for moment, maybe if they had to relay all cables in the area and build a complete new network but apart from that it is impossible, also this is a "no engineer required, self install" jobby, now I am assuming an engineer will have to get physically involved somewhere at the exchange or cabinet but it kind of implies it should be a relatively quick thing to do.
Surely there must be some way someone at Plusnet can get this expedited so it happens a lot sooner than 3 weeks? Please don't say no because there HAS to be a way, either way I am the customer and someone whether it be PN or OR has dropped the ball, not really my problem, I know I frequently get terrible service from PN but that does not mean I have to accept it as the norm and I do not accept this as the norm I sure it is just a glitch PN are going through but when problem,s like this can almost be 100% accurately predicted there must be a way to speed the resolution process up, I refuse to believe anything else, sorry.......................

To add insult to injury it was a member of the customer options team that placed the order! Now imagine if I had been an irate (almost not quite there yet) customer that had spoke to customer options to cancel and the got talked in to upgrading to fibre to only find out this had happened a week later, what do you think that customer would be doing right now............

Unfortunately we wouldn't be able to get that done any quicker, with Fibre self-installs these are still assigned to an engineer the same as if this was a managed install and the engineer is still given a 2 hour time-slot in which to complete his required tasks, they just don't attend the property as this is not required to get the service active.
When Matthew placed the order earlier today he set it with a "Required by Date" of the 4th, a week today as we must give 5 working days notice to BT Wholesale/Openreach for Fibre to the Cabinet orders, when they accepted the order and set the completion dates, they set this by the engineers they know will be available from the required date onwards, the earliest available is selected on their side, this isn't something done on any of our systems and is controlled wholly by BT Wholesale.
With the order that was placed last week that you were expecting to complete tomorrow, in all honesty It wouldn't have been tomorrow as it would have then been changed to the soonest engineer, the order didn't progress to this stage as it was placed incorrectly and failed almost immediately.
I am about to leave the office but I'd be more than happy to give you a call tomorrow once I am back in if you wish to discuss other ways to correct the issues and compensate you for the mistakes made, sadly bringing that date forward wouldn't be one, if I could have that done I would have you connected tomorrow.

Not happy though and not going to leave it here this time, this is one cock up too many now, 2 years of hell with PN, problem after problem all ignored by me, I have demonstrated patience that I did not know I had over the last 2 years, but finally PN have done it, even I now have lost faith and trust completely and I want out of my contract once and for all, you don't want my custom then Sky most definitely do.
I have kept a diary over the last 2 years of every drama I have had with PN, I just read through it, it makes very intense reading indeed, you know there has not been a clear 3 months in the last 24 when I have been problem free, some of them have been major cock ups with total loss of service for days on end, this is quite trivial comapred however where do I draw the line and say enough is enough? We have only been waiting nearly 6 years for fibre to hit our area, 6 years of outdated, crappy technology, 6 years of my son having a nightmare every time he wants to online game with his mates, 6 years of my daughters arguing over who is streaming now! And then the last 2 years with problem after cock up after problem.
ENOUGH!

I can't say I've seen any mistakes from this particular advisor previously, so I wouldn't really jump straight to wanting to sack someone on potentially their first mistake. However feedback has been passed on to their manager and the appropriate action will be taken.
@PembsPanther - I am sorry there has been problems with the upgrade to fibre and this has caused the amount of delay that it has. Although we wouldn't look to expedite the order, we would certainly look to offer a fair and proportionate good will gesture for the delay that you are incurring due to the error made by one of our staff.
In regards to experiencing problem after problem "all ignored by you" are you bringing the problems to our attention so we can try to fix them for you?

Whether this was operator error or something else I don't know but the reason I am posting is that, from memory, it took about 5 days for it to be picked up as having failed.
This is the part I felt aggrieved about
