Me again.
Unfortunately the order cancelled Friday night in the supplier systems, I've chased this up with Openreach and I've been advised that this was because of a system issue.
I've replaced the order now and once it is committed/confirmed in the supplier systems, we'll request the order is expedited to ensure that any future engineer appointments are provided to us at a priority.
We'll also request that the order is linked to the previous order so that any notes are carried across.
Sorry for the inconvenience caused by the continued delays and issues.

Just a note that the new telephone line still hasn't been installed so hopefully that is installed before this engineer date. I assume that this engineer is only for the inside of the house work?
Many thanks

Thanks for getting back to us.
I've got in touch with Openreach to link the cancelled telephone order with the new telephone order, and they've escalated the job back to the dig team. We should have an update on 15/05/2019.
As the engineer visit is generally for the internal work and nothing overly complicated like underground work, we'll keep you updated and we'll let you know if the appointment needs to change.

Hi there, I've just spent some time chasing this up with Openreach. They have advised that the A55 form has been returned and processed on the 13th (Monday) and from that point the job went to the dig team for planning work, that part of the process can take up to 5 working days, with that in mind we should be able to update you further on the 20th.

I'm a tad confused as to why planning for the dig has only commenced 2 weeks after it was known a dig is needed?
I understand you guys at PN are doing your best.. Is there no way to request openreach to expedite the planning for a 2 day return as done for some previous requests on this problem?.. @Gandalf has previously mentioned this order will be expedited for a quicker turn around, but not sure if dig planning is included in this

Hi, that's what Openreach have advised me today is that it reached the planning team on the 13th, it's likely they've already started planning and preparations as you've mentioned but we won't see any movement from that until the 20th.

If not I'll check back in on Monday..
Once again I'm not entirely happy with the relaxed approach plusnet are taking when it's going to be a month without my services by the end of next week...

I am very sorry if you have been given that impression about how we are dealing with your delay, I assure you this is not the case. The open ticket on your account is being monitored daily by our Social Media team for any updates. As it stands Openreach have advised us that the next date that we can contact for an update is 20/05 and with there being no listed updates on the order at this time from them, I do apologise but we will have to wait for this date before we contact them further.

Hi @shilapatel67, thanks for your patience.
We haven't had an update as of yet from the dig team, after speaking with our suppliers I've been advised we should have a further update within the next 24 hours. I do apologise for the inconvenience this is causing.
We'll be in touch when we know more.

Surely there has to be atleast one person this can be escalated to..
I've had to fork out for a £95 TP-Link router which Allows data to be emitted via a sim card.. And £25 for a one month data sim contract..
Now I definetly do not want to extend my data sim contract for longer than a month.. And I know plusnet won't reimburse the router costs.. So all in all I'm out of pocket alot without a single sign of getting my telephone line installed anytime soon.
God forbid this happens to an elderly person or a person who cannot afford a way around the lack of Internet and telephone line.

Thanks for getting back to us.
Sorry for the continued delays, while us receiving no updates doesn't necessarily means nothing is happening I've got back in touch with Openreach to escalate this with their dig team due to how long this is taking.
They've therefore emailed the appropriate person to escalate the order and while we've now been given a new review date of 23/05/2019, I hope this helps speed things up in the long run.
God forbid this happens to an elderly person or a person who cannot afford a way around the lack of Internet and telephone line.
We have a welfare case process with our suppliers for instances where a phone line is absolutely vital, however there's very strict criteria we have to meet in order to be eligible and be accepted for one.
