Engineer visit not here yet and no router

Have a engineer visit scheduled between 8am and 1 today, still no show, a possibility they are running late?

My original visit was scheduled for 9th until it changed, so I can't afford to keep waiting in all morning for no shows.

Also new router has still not shown up at either address yet, I have an old one so I can use that I guess though.

Re: Engineer visit not here yet and no router

Have tried that unfortunately, either busy or rerouted via autobot to call, waited on hold for 45 minutes, ran out of battery, on hold again for almost an hour, then cut off, used to be really simple to contact customer service, now it isn't at all.
Love the broadband, but can never contact anyone

Re: Engineer visit not here yet and no router

Half an hour to get through to someone who tells me that they're putting me through to provisions team, then on hold for another hour, I do not have time for this, can someone point me in the direction of getting an engineer out to the appointment he had booked with us.
We are in between moving houses and sitting around waiting for hours on end with no response is not helpful

Re: Engineer visit not here yet and no router

Thank you.

Well, here's hoping they read emails, I'm not holding out much hope, they have until Friday then I'm going elsewhere, they are now eight days past scheduled house move, informed in plenty of time, ridiculous really.

Re: Engineer visit not here yet and no router

Thank you, the router has now arrived.

Once again, no sign of this mysterious engineer again, he's going to be over time again if he doesn't get here soon.

Any idea if he's running late, broken down, off sick etc this time?

Kind regards Terry

Re: Engineer visit not here yet and no router

Sorry to hear the engineer didn't show up Terry.

Unfortunately it doesn't look like the expedite request to bring the appointment date forward went through.

This can happen occasionally especially if we're trying to fast track a simultaneous order(Where broadband activates on the same day as the phone). That, or it didn't go through due to engineer availability.

I can see the appointment date is at 24/10/18 AM. We could try asking for another expedite but there comes a point that the order may get stuck in the system and may take a lot longer than the 24th to fix.

Apologies for the inconvenience this has caused.

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