Want to return but almost 40 minutes on hold...

I rang 0800 432 0200 and got Customer Services. Having explained what I wanted I got put through to Sales. Having explained what I wanted, again, I was transferred to Customer Options. At just under 40 minutes of call time I gave up. There wasn't even a message to say how long the wait may be!
When I left at the beginning of February I was told I would be able to return back to the Unlimited package. At the time I left my exchange wasn't ADSL2+ enabled so had to pay an extra £7.95 for the faster upload speed. Apparently it has now been upgraded to 21CN but nobody could confirm that.
I wish to bring my line rental to PN as well but it's not looking good so far.
So, how do I go about getting the package I want at a price we can agree if I can't speak to anybody
Any help appreciated. Thanks.

I've asked someone to give you a ring.

Edit: I have no trust in TT being able to deal with a transfer properly so am looking to PN for help in making it as smooth as possible

I have been offered the unlimited package I was on before I left along with Line Rental, Anytime calls and Caller Display all for less than I am currently paying with TT (this is taking into account the PN price rise due next month but not the TT increase due next year). I have accepted a 12 month contract
A lot of figures were mentioned but I am a little confused...
In ticket #61615675 it states
Quote Your total ongoing monthly cost for 12 months will be £25.49
But I what I agreed was (after price increase):
£13.99 Line rental
£ 4.00 Anytime calls
£ 0.99 Caller Display
£ 7.50 Unlimited
Which I make £26.48 so it seems that the Caller Display has not been added.
Has it, indeed, been added to my account but simply forgot to add the charge or does it need to be added once the account becomes active?
Edit: Thanks goes to the lady from retentions for her courteous and helpful time on the phone and also for ringing me back as she had promised after she investigated something on my behalf.

Quote from: Mav Just had a nice conversation with a lovely lady from Retentions.
The lovely lady from Retentions was actually the head of department for Sales and Retentions.
We can sort out the caller display discrepancy easily enough.

There's a message addressed to the head of department for Sales and Retentions but by name from someone in the Distressed Team CB/P.
I have no idea what it relates to and, probably, have no reason to know but wonder if it's been directed to my ticket by mistake and that the recipient hasn't seen it.

Just received an email confirming the phone line will be transferred on 12th November. I assume the broadband will be shortly after.
Looking forward to my return

Just noticed that there is no detail for a Direct Debit showing. Is this because the service is not 'live' yet or has that section yet to be completed - I did give the details when I placed the order.
Previously, I had a static IP with PlusNet (I actually had a group of 8 but don't think I'll be needing that at this time). Should I click the Activate Your Static IP now or wait till the account is active?
Thanks.

I can see card details on the account but no direct debits being set up. Previous ones are in there but there's nothing active at present I'm afraid.
Also yes, you'd be fine to add the static IP now

Could someone look into this for me, please?
Edit: Just received an email informing me that "Your Static IP address has now been removed from your service." The timing of the email seems to coincide with when I went back to the Static IP page.
