Hi, +N missed our go-live day and I gather from lengthy phone calls that +N needed to 'bronze match' the premises but on-line the order status website says that the line has been checked and we are good to go. This is very odd because the telephone wires from the (new build) house still need connecting to the service pole. a case for wireless technology?

Hi @harveyand,
Looking at your orders, we placed the order against a gold key address. A bronze key address is simply an address that doesn't exist on the order system at all and needs fully building manually when we place the order.
I understand a colleague responded to the ticket on your account earlier today, however I've read the notes on the broadband order and expanded on their update for you.
I hope this helps. Thanks for your patience.

OK so you escalated from a bronze match to a gold key , but for what it is worth+N are still raising Questions on my a/c because Openreach are still rejecting your order on them for 'no matching broadband order'.
I must ask why there is no order ?

If I had hair to tear it would be challenged. Just cannot gett it through to the prov or tech teams that the reason we do not have any service is because there is no PHYSICAL connection to the network . Our new build was surveyed by Openreach who said we would get service from the nearby pole, meaning that a wire (or two) would be led from the pole to the house. This is still missing. So what if an Kelly sub contractor connected up fibre in the cabinet last Thursday and your tech and prov teams are completely taken in by Openreach claiming to have finished the job. Plusnet service personnel in prov or tech unable to hear me say in plain English that I do not have a dial tone ( for what seems to me to be a perfectly good reason), that the bb router is flashing red ( for what seems to me to be a perfectly good reason)
If you go and look at my order you may get confused because the has been some flak about getting our old phone number back from previous property, but fundamentally until some Openreach or other contractor CLIMBS the POLE I am going to sit hear wondering if I am ever getting a connection.

Sorry to hear this.
Unfortunately as your order is completed and line tests aren't showing an external issue the only way we'll be able to progress this with our suppliers is by arranging an engineer visit.
If you can reply to ticket https://www.plus.net/wizard/?p=view_question&id=184414631 with your availability for a visit letting us know over here once you've done so we'll be happy to get the appointment booked in as soon as we can.

As requested I have shown availability for an engineer call on the question 184414631
as follows
Availability is good any weekday morning, all weekday afternoons except Friday. I accept the possibility of a charge, make my day.
So I am hoping the engineer enjoys the view from the top of the pole

Hi @harveyand,
Thank you for providing your availability for an engineer visit. I can see that @Gandalf picked this back up yesterday evening and has booked this for you.

"OH!" says the OpenReach engineer who turned up this morning, promptly at 8am.
"I can guess what your problem is! You do not have a drop-line to the premises".
This guy at least is doing his job, looking at what he finds on the ground and applying his brain. He has not looked at a screen and taken it for read. I made him a coffee and allowed him to get on with his job and we now have a line from the pole to the property and for the first time in 6 weeks (order placed 4th October) we have a telephone and broadband. Finally I get awareness of what I have been saying all along, there was no physical connection to the network.
Just why has it taken so long? A new build, a new postcode -- how is this country going to build 200,000 houses ?

Sorry for the time it's taken to resolve the issue.
Unfortunately there's not much more we could've done from our point of view, but I'm happy to see this is sorted now.
If you need any further assistance please feel free to let us know.

Well, like listened to what I was saying for a start. I have taken nearly every opportunity when talking/chatting to +Net staff to point out the lack of a drop wire.
