TML dug up the end of my road and went through the phone line for the road I immediately called Plusnet and they said BT Openreach would fix it with 2 working days. The only problem is that was yesterday and as its bank holiday weekend it won't be fixed until next Wednesday at the earliest.
- Will Plusnet pay me £35 if buy unlimited Mobile broadband so I can continue using the internet as I normally would (to watch Netflix etc)
- When the sewer got blocked a few months ago Anglia Water was around in 2 hours to fix it, why does it take BT Openreach 2 working days to fix something.

Because sewerage backing up is a serious health risk, a phone isn't - especially as you've admitted that you can use a mobile for any emergency calls.

Openreach taking 2 working days to fix something is due to paying for the cheapest and worst level of repair service, I expect there are better and more expensive service levels available from Openreach, not necessarily offered by Plusnet, not to home customers at least.

Apparently of the larger ISPs only BT and the Post Office buy the one day repair option.
From Thinkbroadband
One snippet to take-away is that of the largest providers only BT and Post Office purchase the 1 day repair service from Openreach, with Sky, TalkTalk, EE and Plusnet buying the 2 day option with the money we all pay each month. This means that if everything else is equal faults are much more likely to be fixed quicker with BT and Post Office.

Surely digging up the road and taking out phone lines would in general affect both BT and Plusnet customers?

Hi there.
I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing problems with your line.
I can see an engineer went out last Saturday and identified that dig work is required.
They've submitted what's called an A55. This means that traffic management would be needed.
Unfortunately the lead time for such requests is 5 working days. We'll follow up next week.
Apologies for the inconvenience caused.
