Apparently I have no home phone........ but I do! - new customer query
Hi
I had my broadband and phone installed yesterday. Both all up and working fine. The only problem the engineer had was that he couldn't secure the cable to the front of the property due me being in a 2nd floor flat and his ladders being too short. He told me he would have to arrange an out of hours engineer to come and secure it (area is shut off to vehicles until after 5.30pm) and that I wouldn't have to be in.
I have now had messages from PN stating that there is a delay in my home phone order and I would have to call them to make an appt. My home phone is working fine and I presume this is relating to the above. However I am unable to add things online to my home phone ie 1571 etc as it is stating that I don't have a working home phone at present which I do.
I have tried to call PN but waiting time is horrendous. Can anyone on here help??
Thanks

Hi there,
Sorry about the call queues.
This is a pretty odd one, but I thought I'd best explain why you are getting these messages first.
The code that the engineer sent back to us when he attended your installation indicated that he was unable to complete the work, and that further action was needed. This usually means that he's also been unable to establish you a working phone and broadband connection. Because of this, you'll have received correspondence from us informing you of the delay.
The way I see it, we now have two options:
A) I can contact Openreach to get both of the orders signed off. Your service will be working, though the cable isn't fixed.
B) I can contact Openreach, and get them to raise a task for an out of hours appointment to fix the cable, and then sign off the order. All should be fine, though I cannot guarantee that the service will remain active throughout this process in case there are further issues.
The good news is that because your orders haven't clerically completed, you're not being charged for broadband or phone yet
Though we will have to take some action at some point, as your order will eventually time out and the services will stop.
Let me know what you think, and I will contact Openreach myself.

I haven't managed to find anything about an engineer going out.
Your phone isn't with us yet though due to a delay with the order, however we see your internet connection is live with us. I'm going to raise the work as a complaint, hopefully then we'll get further action for you.

That has been raised for you, it's possible they will get in contact with you directly, but I've raised a ticket so that I can monitor it anyway.
Hi
thanks for all your help so far, am hoping you can help further, thank you for raising a ticket for this issue, my home phone which was working perfectly is now dead!! Is this to do with the issue of the order still being with openreach, the cross over period or something else?
Also the ticket that was raised states on hold until the 5th February, does this mean nothing is going to happen until after this date?? Just wondering why it should take so long when my line was installed on the 15th January and the only issue was that the cable needed attaching to the front of the building!
Thanks in advance

Exactly - so what happens now to get my phone working again?
I've just seen your ticket update, and it seems matters have made a turn for the worse. I'll update the details when I get more information.
Hi
I just wanted up date this as all the issues have now been rectified. I understand that the issues stemmed from openreach not closing the order down properly which then caused a knock on effect and caused all the issues.
I would however like to say a massive thank you to all the guys at pus net, they have all been helpful and polite and helped as much as they can. Tony and Matty have been espcially amazing, they have constantly kept me informed at every stage, and worked hard to get the issues sorted espcially as I was geting a bit frazzled.
so a massive than you I cannot fault you guys you have been fab!
