Fibre upgrade headache

I'm at 37 tickets now, all relating to my (stupid?) request to transfer line rental from BT to PN, and upgrade from Plusnet ADSL to fibre (my area was recently upgraded). What a complete balls up its been. I've read threads here that show similar or worse issues to mine...repeat order cancellations and subsequent restarts etc etc and it would be fair to assume most of the issues are caused by BTw being pedantic and bloody minded because they dont want the competition . But theres other stuff underlying this which leads me to wonder about PN.....for instance it wasnt until I questioned them about why my line port required me to need a new phone number (according to PN) that all of a sudden that order was scrapped because I could indeed retain my old one. Or why an analyst trying to restart my fouled up order (for the umpteenth time) was having a nightmare because she was trying to get me ADSL (I already have PN ADSL thanks, I'm trying to get fibre....try ordering that instead!). Even more annoying is that tickets I've made queries on are closed without replying, and new ones are opened, then one analyst saying they'll take one sort of action, only for another to do something else. I'm at a loss as to what the underlying isdue is, because no one will tell me or answer the (ignorant?) Questions I pose. I got desperate and phoned...."we have it sorted now" ..... can I have a commencement date? ... "I cant tell you that, you'll be told in 48 hours" - nope, just another cancellation and another ticket opened.

I can only apologise for the fact your tickets are getting closed with no reply, I will ensure this is passed on to the relevant agents and any further tickets that are created will be responded to.
