Re: Waiting for Broadband

will you ensure that the money I paid upfront is returned to my account, and inform me when it becomes available . I will then decide what to do.

Re: Waiting for Broadband

To refund the money we would need to close the account which is something we are unable to do via the forums and would require a quick call to our cancellations team on 0800 013 2632.

 

If you did close the account the best way to stay updated would be dslchecker.bt.com, this does show Fibre as available at present but I have requested the records update to reflect the current capacity issues.

Hi Paul,

Yet more sad sagas of order failures in BTw's systems not being correctly passed over to PlusNET, leaving you guys with eggy face.

@Darkfire - Paul any thoughts on https://community.plus.net/t5/My-Order/Waiting-for-Broadband/m-p/1336626#M236 please?  One for the management team?

'Invisible' order failure looks like it is a right royal pain you-know-where to you guys! Crazy3

Re: Waiting for Broadband

While it may not be all PlusNet's fault, they are not free from blame. If I had not posted the question on this forum I would have been waiting on the 2nd June to be switched over. PlusNet are quick to try and sign you up, but not to keep you updated as advertised.

Or is it more of a case that the Plusnet provisioning interface is not agile enough to alert the provisioning team?  Having done some work on the BT systems in the past, I would hazard a guess.  Time to prise some capital out of the moneymen to get an upgrade.

Re: Waiting for Broadband

@MauriceC,

I've seen a fair number of situations were the next event date is in the future, however a user has had cause for concern resulting in a double check to take place.  That investigations identifies that though all looks good ISP side, things are pear-shaped n the BT side and there is no evidence of that being communicated by BT to the ISP.

Sadly it does not appear that such failures are uncommon, yet no ISP has called out BTw for such dreadful performance.

Re: Waiting for Broadband

Hi Abbeabz Smiley 

 

I've had a quick look and your phone is indeed active, that order was signed off at 4:13 this afternoon, the broadband should come on shortly, it is possible the order is complete but not signed off yet, if you connect the router you have from us can you let me know what lights are on, their colours and if they are flashing and I will be able to look into this a little more Smiley

Re: Waiting for Broadband

Had a bit of downtime so made a quick call to our suppliers.

 

All work is complete, they just need to sign the order off, I've activated you our side now though so we don't have to wait, should be working immediately Smiley

Hi Mick, 

 

I've taken a look at your order to ensure things are going fine, Fibre capacity is available and a port reserved, we are going great for the takeover Smiley
