It’s been weeks - No router mailed and no switch date?

Hello, I am a new customer. Signed up several weeks ago. My current provider notified me that my broadband service was suppose to activate on 25 August. I haven’t seen anything from Plusnet. I still have not received a router or activation date from plusnet. Can you please provide an update?

Hello, it could well be that your first order was cancelled, mine was. If you haven't heard anything then you might try phoning, but be prepared for a long wait, and record the conversation (ask first though).

If your order was cancelled do they refund the initial payment?

Finally spoke with someone today by phone.  Some sort of address mismatch between plusnet and my current carrier.  My existing phone line was disconnected so they have someone coming out to install a new one.  My current broadband still works so no worries hopefully I’ll be online with plusnet soon.

@cirmod  If as you state " My existing phone line was disconnected " how is your broadband still working? There is no reason for you to have a new phoneline installed if you already have a BT line. Are you moving from a Virgin service by any chance?

Update:  Because the line was disconnected (no dial tone, but broadband was still working w/ my old provider NowTV), I got a text message a few days back saying a new phone line will be installed on Tuesday and new service will go live by Wednesday.

 

I got home from work yesterday (Friday) and my NowTV connection was offline.  I called NowTV and they terminated my service, stating that Plusnet told them to do so on Friday.  So... I'm now without Internet for the next 4 days.

 

I'm not off to a great start.  I'm hoping that all goes well and I'll be up and running by Wednesday.
