Line being upgraded 16.04.15 - where is my router?

I was told a new router would be sent out and there is currently no sign of it.
When I called up to book the upgrade to fibre you still had my old address showing, even though I followed the steps when moving house with you.
I was assured that the address had been corrected but now I'm thinking otherwise as I would have expected to have received the router by now

If you sign on to the member centre you may well see whether the router has been despatched and you should have received a text message if they have your mobile number.

They have my mobile and I have received no text...........so to me it seems like its not been dispatched.
I am also told the engineer will bring an extension cable but not sure I trust that will happen either

Hi TerryCTR,
I tried to call you this morning to ensure the router was being sent to the correct address, but I was unable to get through.  Could you send me a PM with the best number to call you on and I will get back to you.
Thanks,
Andy

Buy one. Almost anything is better than the one that comes through the post.

I already have a decent one but the guy on the phone made out I must use this new one (then again he also made out that he updated my details!)

you can't use an adsl only router, but if it has a wan port and will support pppoe it should be fine, what router do you have?

I know I can select pppoe on the settings, can't comment on the wan port I will need to check when I get home.
I was told the new router will for delivery before 1pm tomorrow so I will use that if need be

What a shocking service.
The router didn't turn up and the BT left what I've just now discovered is a modem after waiting 40 minutes for someone to answer the phone - is it really that bad that you are busy that long?
Finally I got a wired connection on my laptop and all I can say is it's horrendous-as slow as a week in the jail.
I'm meant to get 40 meg down and 20 upload so where the hell is it!

Your PN profile doesn't change until PN get the confirmation the order is complete. After that, the next time a session connects you should see the "correct" speeds.

Thanks Phil,
I have had texts and emails from PlusNet saying its complete though and it was running way slower than my adsl connection.
Hopefully it sorts itself out

Has your PN profile ("current speed") updated? it is possible it hasn't and needs a nudge.
