Groundhog Day?

My son's Plusnet connection hasn't been working for, I think, 4 weeks now.

(No names, no packdrill but he's probably the only person with a real last name the same as my real last name living in postcode HD9)

 

He moved house to his present address and took his Plusnet Broadband account with him and everything worked perfectly for several months.

 

Then suddenly it stopped.

 

As I understand it, Accounts seem to think he is now a new a/c waiting for an installation and engineering - or whatever -  seem to know there's already a broadband supply and understandably haven't been to visit . And each seem to be waiting for the other.

 

I know that - today of all days - there must be far more urgent matters to attend to since some customers will have had all their connectivity swept away in the floods but does anyone have any suggestions about how to break out of this cycle and get the broadband purring away sweetly again?

 

Thanks.

Fix

Thanks for your post @RetiredNow I'm sorry to see the way we've handled this. It looked like there was a bit of a discrepancy on our side which would've been purely admin related and wouldn't have affected his service, so we should've progressed this as a fault with our suppliers long ago.

As we are where we are now, the order to 'reprovide' his service is due to complete tomorrow and he should be back up and running then. I've also emailed him with a bit more information, adding a reply to a support ticket https://www.plus.net/wizard/?p=view_question&id=198863333

Sorry again for the time he's spent without a broadband service Sad
