Order confusion

Hello, after some problems relating to my broadband order, the last communication I had from Plusnet was that my order had been delayed and that I shouldn't expect the Openreach engineer to visit until 24th August at the earliest. Imagine my surprise, just now when I received a text message from Openreach saying that their engineer would indeed be visiting tomorrow on the 17th August. Please could someone look into my case and tell me definitively whether I can expect the engineer to visit tomorrow. Thanks in advance,

Re: Order confusion

I've checked the order directly with Openreach and there's nothing showing that we can see for tomorrow. The appointment is booked in for the 25th.

Appointment date: 25/08/16   Appointment Slot: PM

Re: Order confusion

Hmm... well I received a text message at 10:36 this morning which read: "Hi Openreach here, a reminder our engineer will visit you on 17/08/16 between 01:00 pm and 06:00 pm. To cancel, please contact your service provider." Clearly someone at Openreach believes that an engineer will visit me tomorrow. Given the confusion that has already arisen over my order, I am inclined to wait for a visit tomorrow - if someone turns up great, if not I'll just have to wait till next week.

Re: Order confusion

Yeah we've checked our suppliers trackers and it's showing for the 25/08/16 because of the delay due to the routing issue. If an engineer does arrive tomorrow then I will be surprised but it will be a bonus and please let us know if one does arrive.

Re: Order confusion

Guess what, the Open reach guy turned up and set up the line!! Currently my router is showing:
Power ON
Broadband FLASHING
Internet DARK
WiFi ON
The engineer said that I want to see four steady lit bulbs, so presumably something still needs to happen at your end. Over to you!!...

Re: Order confusion

OK, we have checked with our suppliers and they have still not got anything coming through for today which is strange.

Can you plug a phone into the socket and see if there is a dial tone?

Re: Order confusion

Yes I have dialing tone, albeit a broken one, ie 1 second dialing tone, one second silence.

Re: Order confusion

I also had a text message front yourselves at 14:35 saying that my phonest line was ready to use. It also told me the telephone number.

Re: Order confusion

We've not sent any text messages on the account and the phone number is blank on there. I wonder if we're looking at a different account, can you private message me the phone number you've been given.

Please send me a private message

Re: Order confusion

Just as a public update to this thread, the confusion has arisen based on what happened in this thread:

https://community.plus.net/t5/My-Order/Welcome-email/m-p/1352668

 

The OP actually has a different username that the orders are progressing fine on and this is what's caused the 'delays' on the other account as the line at that premises is already in use.
