Switched to Plusnet from Sky, phone switched but it's nearly midnight and broadband not working.

[#1]

My switch from Sky to Plusnet was today. I've switched plenty of times before, usually the switch happens fairly quickly and I am without internet for hardly any time at all.

Well, not this time.

The phone was switched this morning and I lost internet. They told me the broadband would be back up by the latest of midnight. Well, it's 15 minutes to midnight and the internet still isn't working. Broadband light is solid green but internet is solid red. I've tried to call Plusnet but they're closed now. The recorded voice on the phone says my internet has not been activated yet, nor have I received any confirmation of it yet.

I've been without internet all day, and it now looks like Plusnet is going to be the first and only company I've ever dealt with who failed to activate the service by midnight, so much for assuring me it would be ready by midnight "At the latest".

Hi cmorgan00,

After checking your account your services are active. 

Can you please confirm you are able to use them?

Thank you.

It's not active. I've not received any message informing me of it going active either. And when I call plusnet the automated voice checks my order and it tells me my internet is not active yet.

The internet light is solid red on the plusnet router. It was supposed to be on by midnight at the latest. I've been using the internet for 18 years and have switched many times before. Never has this happened to me before.

I've also tried to call plusnet multiple times, failing to get past the answer machine queue music every time. I was waiting 10 minutes one time, and suddenly the phone ringing sound started, indicating I was about to speak to someone. 5 seconds later it stopped and the music came back on. Another 5 minutes later my call was disconnected and I am now in the queue once again and unable to speak to anyone.

Terrible start to a new company. This is the only time I've ever had trouble with a switch. I've never been made to wait until midnight to see services activated. I am over 24 hours without internet now.

I have tried to reset part of our system as our suppliers are showing you are live. 

Could you try doing a hard reset on your router by switching it off for a couple of minutes and then turning it back on. 

Please let me know once it has fully booted back up. 

Thanks.

Internet light went green 5 minutes ago and I just received the text confirming that.

According to guy on phone from plusnet it should have been live since around 4pm yesterday. Something went wrong. Not pleased about having to be without internet for more than a day.
