Will i ever get broadband? 21 hours of my time wasted.

[#1]

So on the 19th of October I was supposed to have my broadband installed for a house move - wait in all day for a no show. I ring up and I'm told that they have done it remotely and it will be activated by midnight. Next morning nothing so I ring up again and I'm told they got held up by the previous call apolgieses and rearranged a visit for 26th October, wait in all day for a no show again. Ring up and they apologize and say they've given me the wrong date it was actually 30th October. Wait in all day and end up having 3 BT engineers out (the irony), they have to do some digging but they leave saying it's all done and should be activated by midnight. The next morning nothing again. I ring up - I'm told something is wrong that 'my broadband is still in the commited status and the components are deactive and it will be sorted within 48 hours. 48 hours later and again nothing! I ring up AGAIN and I'm told that suppliers have an engineer going out tonight and it'll be up and running by midnight. I'm gonna take a wild guess and say it's not going to work tonight either. Is there anything I can do? I've spent a small fortune on data as I'm a student and need the internet, and the time wasted is just ridiculous - let alone paying for a service I've not got. How do I go about complaining?

Time on the phone: 230 minutes = 3.8 hours
Time waited in: 17 hours.

Have you tried to see if there any open orders on DSL CHECKER by going to this link https://www.dslchecker.bt.com/ enter your plusnet phone number does any open orders appear ?

After another phone call I'm now told it's going to be the 6th of November. These constant delays are unacceptable, I've been passed from pillar to post for 24 hours, 48 hours. I've had enough now!

[#8]

Apologies for the delayed response.

I've contacted our suppliers and they've advised that the order isn't reflecting as complete on their end.

They've passed this to the correct team to close the order off and this should be done in the next 24 to 48 working hours

[#9]

It's the third or fourth time it's been passed on to the correct team after speaking to the supplier... I'm honestly not holding out much hope.

[#10]

Four hours to go, still nothing. Holding out zero hope.

[#11]

Still nothing!

[#12]

Still awaiting on a call back which was supposed to happen at 10.30. It's now 1 and no phone call and ignoring my requests for updates. Increasingly getting more agitated with this poor service.

Do you just constantly lie to your customers? Returned from uni after being told it should work now. Still nothing, absolutely unacceptable. Now having to use mobile data to do uni work.
