Re: PlusNet having trouble removing landline.

@Baldrick1 

To clarify what I have done so far...

1) Got result for phone number from broadband availability checker (FTTP not available)
2) Got result from address (using Flat xx) from broadband availability checker (FTTP available). No duplicate/similar addresses listed.
3) Result from address check shows UPRN
4) Got result from findmyaddress (entering door number only, didn't recognise "Flat"). The address shows same UPRN. No duplicate/similar addresses listed.
5) Entered UPRN into both sites. Broadband availability checker shows same results as when checking by address. Findmyaddress shows only 1 address.

I don't know the details of the address when searching by phone number on the boadband availability checker, as it's not shown. But as I said at the time, the address & phone number results are different. I tried a search without the word "Flat", but the broadband availability checker didn't recognise it.

Still trying to find out the billing address. My Sister's not at home at the moment.

For completeness I've attached the UPRN result.

Thanks for that.

I would like to get in touch with my Sister first. I'm sure she will be OK with it, but I had better ask her first.

Can't seem to get in touch with her at the moment.

If any-one can get this resolved then it will be @Gandalf 

The point that I keep banging on about is that you have attached to post #8 two downloads, one labelled 'address' and the other 'phone number'. The two are different, the  address one showing FTTP to be available, the phone number one with it not available.

I have seen this before and it is caused by a difference in the original BT phone record and the Openreach address record, (probably added when Full Fibre was provided) to have a slightly different address.

My money would be on that the records show that your sister's account is currently locked to the phone number entry whilst the upgrade to SoGEA is being directed to the address one.

Edit

@Gandalf 

Mt previous experience was getting FTTP installed for a BT customer. After speaking to 3 CSAs I finally got to one who resolved the problem by putting it through their system as a 'change of address'.

Re: PlusNet having trouble removing landline.

It's an FTTP priority exchange...

Under the circumstances, I got the restriction lifted and placed the order, with any luck it should complete shortly.

That's great.

Many thanks for that. I've informed my sister. 👍

@Baldrick1 

Thanks for persevering. It can take a while for things to permeate into my peanut brain. 😆

Yes. There's obviously a reason why the 2 results are different.

Before you mentioned to Gandalf about putting it through the system as a "change of address", I was actually wondering if my sister would be able to change her details with Plusnet online to make an alteration to her address (assuming it was due to the "flat - not flat" reason). I think she's out at the moment, so didn't get back to me with the address that Plusnet have on her account.

Anyway, it's irrelevant now that it's been resolved by Gandalf.
