Already have fibre, can't get quote for different provider.

My first year contract is ending and when I shop around with different providers, they all say fibre is unavailable.

Is this due to the cabinet being full?

If so, does that mean I have to stay with PlusNet forever, and have no choice of supplier?

I would like to reduce my bill as my first year discount is ending.

Please move if this post is in the wrong forum.

I guess that there is a risk of you losing your service. To get a decent renewal price follow this. https://community.plus.net/t5/Plusnet-Feedback/Why-does-Plusnet-not-reward-loyalty/m-p/1552788#M8183...

Hi there.

It looks like this is due to engineering works on your cabinet.

With regards to reducing your bill I'd recommend speaking with our Customer Options team on 0800 013 2632

Yes, I've just looked at the BT Wholesale availability checker and I see it says temporary engineering works.  Is there any way I can find out when normal service will resume?

Re: Already have fibre, can't get quote for different provider.

sorry to resurrect this old thread, but I am still unable to order fibre due to engineering works. Does anyone know of a way to switch providers and keep the same connection? Or a way to get an update from openreach?

 

thanks

Hi @gwynedd

No worries, thanks for getting back to us.

Unfortunately I don't know a way around that and I don't believe there is a workaround. You'll be able to contact the fibre enquiries team at Openreach by filling out this formwize: https://www.formwize.com/run/survey3.cfm?idx=505d040e0b080d

If you're interested in staying with us on a new deal we'd be happy to arrange a call back from our customer options guys if you like? Feel free to PM me the best contact number and rough timeframe for a call.

Hope this helps.

From 31st October 2022, I no longer have a regular presence here as I’ve moved on to a new role.
