No phone/broadband after a month

I ordered a years worth of phone/broadband over a month ago and was told it would be installed on the 22nd of November, the engineer came and said they'd need to arrange a hoist to get up phone pole which was ok. I was then told that someone was coming on the 4th of December but it nothing seemed to happen happened, then another engineer came today only to say that the hoist was needed as before and no one had told him. Could this please be looked into as broadband/phone still has no sign of being sorted.

Re: No phone/broadband after a month

Hi Aisha,

I have checked the ticket and it does not have any information regarding today's problem and next steps. Furthermore, it seems to say that the order has been cancelled.

My move in date keeps being delayed because of these errors and i am not receiving any communication about when this will be resolved.

I am very disappointed because the delays are long and lacking communication about when this will be resolved.

Please can you look into this and set a date when the broadband will be installed or to have somebody communicate with me about this problem.

Thank you

Re: No phone/broadband after a month

Hi @Jrb1,

 

I've had a look at this and the engineer that came this morning with no hoist delayed the job, another engineer was sent out at about half 1 this afternoon with a hoist to connect to the pole. This is now all done and completed, they're just waiting for the job to be closed down. That will happen today but hasn't yet.

 

Because of the huge delays, and the problems with the fit the simultaneous broadband order has been cancelled, this is because the routing has now changed for the line and broadband routing updates can't happen off the back of a SIM order. That currently means when your line goes live you will not have a working broadband service.

 

It's worth noting that SIM orders are a best effort service, which means they can't be guaranteed, but because of the problems you've had (specifically the delays) we'll expedite the broadband order at our cost. In theory we should be able to place the broadband order tomorrow morning which should get your broadband active and usable for Thursday. Leave this with me and I'll update you again tomorrow morning.

@Jrb1,

 

So I had confirmation all the hoist works have been done, you'd been connected and the order should be closed down overnight. 

 

Unfortunately when they'v e done the final testing to close the job down the line was testing 'dis'. This would prevent the service working. Openreach reissued an engineer this morning to resolve this but have found a battery contact in an underground cable. So now we have to wait for an underground engineer to be allocated. This should be this afternoon but it might get pushed to tomorrow. Sorry about this but you're going to have to leave this with me longer.

Hi Jolo,

Many thanks for your help so far, the engineer came today to fix the line fault.

Can i just check if i need to re-order the broadband? If so is it automatic or done by myself, also will it be the same cost including the £75 cashback.

Thank you.

@Jrb1,

 

Just another update, we'll place the broadband order, you don't need to do anything. I'm going to get it expedited for you to try and get it on before Christmas day. The phone order is still stuck in delay at the moment so I'm just trying to get Openreach to close it down, once it's closed I'll be able to place the BB.

 

Re the price cashback; none of this will change. You get the cashback redemption email 10 working days after the account goes live.
