2 months and still no broadband

So on March 31st I rang to do a homemove, as I had infinity and my new home doesn't (even though it's nearer to the exchange and there's a fibre cab a 100 yards down the road but ours isn't in the rollout plan for some daft reason)
They said they had to cancel the broadband and order the phone, on Monday June 2nd I finally got my home phone connected, all though out the process I was told the ADSL would be connected the day after. On Monday I was told I couldn't have the broadband until Wednesday, on Wednesday I was told Thursday and on Thursday I was told Friday.
After 6 or 7 calls on Friday I was promised it would be on by midnight, at 33 minutes past midnight it's still not on.
This is meant to be with your complaints team who are useless!!!

    Dear sir,

  • I've had my ipad for 6 months and still cannot get my iTunes music on it.  How do I do that???

    I've had my iPad mini for 6 months and still cannot get my iTunes music on it.  What am I doing wrong??

    I have tried everything.  When I open my iTunes, the iPad icon comes up on the top right and shows the circling arrows and at the top is has iTunes Match, sending info to Apple.  When I click the iPad icon, it states my iOS 6.1.3. and is up-to-date.  I have a 32 GB Wi-Fi iPad.  It says I have 28.34 capacity left.  I have it set to automatically back up on iCloud (I have 15 GB of space in iCloud).  At the bottom it says I have 447 photos and 42 apps.  However, I can count that I only have 31 pictures that I see in my Photos. 
    I probably have the almost 500 photos on my phone, though.  And I'm able to get some music to my phone**.
    Under Options I have checked: Open iTunes when this iPad is connected, Sync this iPad over Wi-Fi, and sync only checked songs.
    Today I tried dragging a number of playlists to the iPad icon.  It didn't go to my iPad; **however, now it's on my phone.
    When I open the music app in my iPad, the cloud icon shows up and the bar under it fills up, it says there's no music.
    Appreciate any help...they tell me I am not eligible for tech support via chat.

  • Verizon Sent me the wrong EIN numbered phone and  has been nearly 3 months and still no refund

    I am still not getting my money back for the phone I ordered and paid for via credit card on 11/29/2010.
    You guys sent me the wrong phone with the wrong EIN number. So I was told by my local Verizon store on 11/30/2010 to send it back (Which I did) and a new phone would replace it (received new phone), The replacement phone was billed to my Verizon account and I was told I would get my money back  once the first phone was returned to you guys,
    I shipped the first phone back via FEDEX on 12/3/2010.
    I contacted customer service on 12/31/2010 and told them I hadn’t gotten my refund yet (REF# 70331329 and was told expect a refund in 24 to 48 Business hours.
    I contacted Customer service (Greta) on 2/6/2011, and she said she saw that the phone had been returned and said it should show up on the next billing cycle.
    I got a new bill on 2/25/2011 and no refund was on the bill.
    I contacted customer service on 2/26/2011 and talked to Jeff, he said He would fill out a TOPS request and he would call me back on 3/2/2011 and as of 3/21/2011 no call has been received from him.
    I called customer service (Aman) on 3/6//2011 and he said I should get my money back in 24-72 hours and I haven’t yet.
    I emailed the Verizon/Boeing contact and he said he has “no teeth “ to do anything about it, and I would need to elevate to at least supervisor level and they should be able to do something about this ………….and he is sorry he can’t help
    It has been nearly 3 months and 4 phone calls by me and I have been told I should get the money back 5 times now. And still no return of my money. I think this issue needs elevating to the top of the company if necessary as this has become a joke of Customer Service from your company.
    It seems that the CUSTOMER is not important to Verizon anymore.
    Please stop giving me the Customer Service run around and actually return my money that I had to pay for the wrong phone that you sent me and then had me send it back.
    Do I need to get legal advice or the Attorney General involved to resolve this?
    Once happy customer

    Rofl... 1) peer to peer forum... as much fun as your righteous rage is we can't really help (although you will probably get a pm from a rep... keep in mind you can do the same thing throught the 'contact us' link in the upper right). 2) Just as confirmation... you did pay for the second phone separately? 3) Call in, talk to a sup and tell them the situation in a calm polite manner. Have them double check to make sure the phone is showing in the warehouse... that the fedex order is showing as having been returned and that some return refund requests have been submitted... If all of that has been done, and they show it has been returned then some form of credit should be able to be worked out. Oh, I should also say that you may not need to go to a sup. A lot of reps are more than able to take care of this, gauge the confidence level of the rep for the first few minutes (along with how well they are willing to listen to you) before you decide to sup up.

  • 7 months and still no new pat

    I've only had my X-fi for 4 months and I've had zero problems with it (my st Creative experience) But, with new hardware should come new patches to improve performance. I'm surprise that such new hardware isn't getting no where near the support it should. What's the status, if any, on new drivers for X-fi.
    Being my first Creative experience, I've heard a lot of bad things about Creative support and customer service - heck, even my friends warned me not to get an X-fi/Audigy/Creative card due to their past experiences.
    I hope they truly support this product, being it's my first sound card (which sounds wayyy better than my trusted on board sounds I've used over the years).

    It is as i feared!! I knew it, this driver update will not fix any popping/crackling/clicking issues!!? You say still they are investigating it!! So they still dont know exactly what is causing it, and how to fix it!! This is really depressing, im tired of being right all the time when it comes to Creative. People will be outraged when they have waited 7-8 months or more for a driver, which in the end wont fix a thing for them. Of course people will have high expectations on drivers when they come out maybe max twica a year. Cat, you could maybe tell you?re company that if you had more frequent driver update?s, people wouldnt be so upset or atleast not have so high expectations when they dont fix their problems!!!!!!!!!!I know im premature on this, but i have a feeling i've will be right on this one too!?

    I have a feeling they are dragging it out until the 2 month guarantee is guaranteed to run out, then they will release a driver update that fixes the drm issues, that mickeysoft or apple asked them to do 2 days prior to the release.
    So our only hope is that microsoft or apple ask them to do something, after all creative don't take any notice what-so-ever of its customers, they only care about the people who can make them pay for they're mistakes.

  • TS4069 all of a sudden i can't get incoming mail.  I can send just fine.  I deleted my account and then reintalled it; now it only shows emails going back one month and still not receiving new ones.

    I cannot receive incoming mail all of a sudden on my I-Pone 4.  I deleted my comcast account and then set it up again as suggested.  Now it only loaded messages beginning one month ago; and still not receiving any new.  Any ideas?

    There are only two things that I can suggest.
    The first is to try the Mail Setup Assistant.
    The other is giving Mozilla's Thunderbird a shot - setup the account and see if it will work with this free email app. I don't like Mail at all - and it gives some people fits around here (I don't know how many times people have posted about problems with outgoing servers using Mail).
    Try both methods - I don't use Mail - I use MS's Outlook (and, before that, Entourage). If the Setup Assistant offers no relief, just try Thunderbird and see if it works with it.
    Good luck,

  • Over a week and still no broadband?????

    I wonder if anybody has had a similar experience?
    I signed up for the BT boradband and call package (10GB) on August 23rd. I was told that my activation date would be September 13th. I was a bit miffed that I'd have to wait three weeks to be able to call out from my new home, but I was patient. When the 13th rolled around, my phone was switched on, but not the broadband (I had received the hub earlier that day). I tried everything and still nothing. Called BT and was told it could take up to midnight. 
    14th came. No broadband. I was told 'it should be on tomorrow'.
    15th.
    16th.
    17th. I was told 'by Saturday, for sure'.
    18th. 'By Monday, or anytime before then. We'll call you'.
    19th.
    20th. 'Tuesday by close of business hours'.
    21st...guess what? Still no broadband.
    To be honest, I'm pretty shocked. It's been over a week. The worst part is, the only contact I've had has been by my instigation....Only one person called me back to say it'd be on today. And since I've had to haul my laptop to my parents house just to type this, you can guess I'm still not connected. The funniest part of all this, is when I load up my Mac, I can see that my neighbours have also got BT broadband, so we obviously share an exchange. But they're online and I'm not. I've been told repeatedly that it's some issue with the exchange.
    I don't really know what to do now. I'm pretty close to calling the whole thing off, but if I call again and another person tells me 'tomorrow' or 'by midnight', I think I'd go ballistic.
    As far as I know, all the equipment is working fine, I have a dial tone, I can make calls...just the silly hub blinking that annoying broadband light (orange) at me. For those who have experienced this, did it ever get resolved? How long did it take? What happened in the end?
    Thanks.

  • Paid monthly and still have to buy a product?

    Hi,
    My brother pay monthly for 2 license (1 for him and 1 for me), so today i install the premiere pro cc and when i wanted to open it, it says trial has expired and i have to inter a serial number. But now it looks like i have to buy a product and still pay monthly cost why is that? I thought paying monthly cost and having acces to all apps of cc i shouldn't pay for a product. So can someone explain why we're paying monthly cost and still have to buy a product?
    Sorry for my bad english

  • 4 Months and still no Syncing of Contacts

    What is it with Apple?
    My contacts still  aren't syncing.  Doing the same process I always have. Says contacts are syncing but when I open up on the iPad my newer additions to Contacts aren't there.
    I've shut down and restarted... replugged... used the advanced tab to completely replace.  Nothing
    I am doing a hard wire connect. Turned off the iCloud Option.
    This has been going on forever and still no response from Apple.
    iCal is Syncing fine... Contacts no

    I use http://www.soocial.com to sync my contacts, works much better!

  • Almost 1 month and still no system board replacement

    Has anyone else had any probelms getting a replacement system board for a T420S?  I have been waiting for a tech to come out on a three week old laptop to replace a bad system board and still am awaiting a backordered part.

    duplicitis,
    Sorry to hear that you are delayed on parts. Calkenneth is offering fair advice -  If you purchased from Lenovo directly in the US, and the failure is within the first 21 days you could get the system replaced as a DOA.  Call your sales rep and you will need to provide the service case number.
    We can also escalate your service case.  Would you send me a PM with your contact info and service case number?
    Will try to move this along for you.
    Thanks for speaking up,

  • 3 months and still no line/broadband?!

    Hi all,
    I ordered BT Infinity way back in September for my new home , which is on a new build plot, and I'm still not connected?! I have had two engineers out to connect me, the first one was a phone line and infinity engineer who informed me, at the time, that there was no DP in the street. I wasted a days holiday for this and the engineer wasn't too happy either, as he had travelled a fair distance for no reason. It beggars belief that a communication company is so poor at communicating! That was on the 24th October.
    After a whole lot of 'escalating' and messages saying due to essential engineering work or problems with contractors and equipment, I got another install date of 12th December, which they cancelled a day or two before due to 'essential engineering work'! I had to do a lot of sorting out of workload to get the 12th off on holiday, which I then had to take anyway, so I had a day off for nothing. But..... as I was washing up some pots I got a phone call from an Openreach engineer at around 08:30 saying he was at the cabinet and was going to connect me their before coming to my house to connect me up! I did tell home that this appointment had been cancelled, but he seemed pretty confident that he could get me sorted and as long as I hadn't cancelled my order (well, not yet) he would have a crack. He came round, said all was good at the cabinet end but there was a signal break somewhere from the cabinet to my house, and after a bit of testing at my house realised there was nothing more he could do as he wasn't a phone line engineer and that was where the problem seemed to be. I was told near the beginning of this farce, that I didn't even have a line of any sort to my house yet, but he found one?!?!
    This was yet again a very good example of the pure lack of communication that appears to exist within a company whose sole job is communication!
    We were the second people onto this site , and while my neighbours appear to be having no problems getting connected, I keep getting this rubbish of essential engineering work. I have complained via email about this and was told that not all properties, despite being on the same street, will be connected to the same cabinet. Fair enough, until I found out that there is only on cabinet in my area!! What is going on?!?! Any help from mods would be much appreciated.
    Many thanks,
    Jonny

  • 5 months + and still waiting for a phone line

    27/05/2013 Placed order for line and broadband. Paid for 1 year service in advance.
    This was to reconnect a line I had cancelled in in January as we started a major re-fit/renovation at our house and were out of it for 4 months. Transferred line to a new address at this time (different exchange)
    18/06/2013 Engineer scheduled to visit. - Waited in for 6hours, no one turned up, no contact made
    19/06/2013 No one got in touch. I telephoned. Problem with line. New appointment made for Monday 15 July 2013
    15/07/2013 Engineer did not turn up, no contact made again after waiting in most of day.
    16/07/2013 I called and told work on line not completed. They needed to do external work. Given assurance I would get a call on 21/07/2013 as work scheduled to be completed by then. It had been accelerated (had been told this before come to think of it)
    21/07/13 No one called, again
    22/07/2013 I called and told work still not completed but would be by 25/07/2013 so to call back and arrange an engineer visit appointment
    25/07/2013 I called , told work still not completed, would get a call by 29/07/2013 when work will be completed – to arrange another engineer visit. I filed online complaint
    29/07/2013 no call. I called, no update, call again in 2 weeks
    Numerous calls in August, and 2 online complaints. Now getting texts telling me there is no update and promising to get in touch by a certain date, they don't. New line needed as exchange reached capacity. Old line no good, have to lay a new one. Still being told order will be accelerated. Still waiting for the "advisor in our delays team to monitor the job and contact the engineers for a full investigation to be done so we can provide you with an accurate update."
    Still more calls in September along with numerous calls (me) and 2 from BT to say they have no update!
    Still being told the biggest load of rubbish as an excuse, eg me "but I had an active line in January" you "ah that is openreaches fault, they come and physically rip out and remove the wiring if a line is cancelled"   or: BT- "we cant talk to openreach ourselves, we can only email them" me - "that's funny as your colleague on the last call claimed to have spoken
    with them after leaving me on hold for 5 minutes" 
    October. Called today. ( now have a telephone number with a PIN number) Still no progress. They started digging on September 5th according to one email. I asked were they using a tea spoon, they even replied in email NO!
    What am I supposed to do now. I am to get an update "tomorrow", but going by all previous updates it will be we will call again in 10 days - the don't. Time spent waiting for engineers -  2 days, time spent on phone/emails etc - 5+ hours.

  • Activation date passed and still no broadband

    Hi Everyone,
    I recently switched from Orange to BT as I was having an issue with my broadband that Orange were far from helpful about. 
    My equipment (HH4) and activation email arrived on 16th September to say everything was ready to go.
    I followed the steps that came with the equipment, but the Hub light never returned to blue. It is stuck on orange and the broadband light is flashing red. I've been in contact with the BT support team for the last 3 days, but have just grown more frustrated. They advised me to wait until today to see if it would connect, so I did, but still no connection. They said they would book an engineer but when I rang back they wanted to do some extra tests, which are scheduled for this Friday.
    If any moderators could help, anything would be appreciated. It's now been a month with no Broadband, and the support team are slowly driving me insane.
    Thanks in advance.
    Solved!

  • New build installation - 4 months and still waitin...

    Hi
    As with many posts on this forum, we have a major problem with phone line installation. Back in April I ordered a new phone line to be installed, together with an Infinity broadband package, ready for my move into a house on a new development. We moved in on 2nd May and was told installation would take place on 23rd May. No engr showed and when I rang to query this I was told he was working on the exchange and I would be updated. Needless to say no update was forthcoming. When I called again I was then told that the developers working on behalf of the estate had not finished their side of the work. Having spoken to them, I found out the delay was being caused by OpenReach and the cabling was not completed. This story has now been repeated every time I call, and it is now coming up to 4 months since my order was placed. I keep being given a new installation date which is then cancelled a few days beforehand. The last straw has come today; I was due an update on the 23rd which was not forthcoming, I have now been told there will be no further news until 17th August! 
    The delay has cost us a fortune in mobile phone credit, along with buying and topping up 2 dongles. The phone signal here is almost non existent, and as both my son and I are disabled with chronic health conditions there is a major concern in case we can't get a signal. Back in May I collapsed at home, with no one else here. I was lapsing in and out of consiousness but managed to crawl to a door and get a signal to call an ambulance. If it happens again I may not be so lucky.
    How can BT and OpenReach justify the fact that it takes at least 4 months to carry out the necessary cabling work? People started moving into their new houses at the start of the year so why did BT decide it wasnt necessary to carry out the work in readiness for the new residents?
    One of the most frustrating things is that when we call BT, unless they speak to the OpenReach engineer there and then, they have no idea what is going on. The engineer may have updated the records two weeks before but we are never told what is still needed and why. I have called the engineer myself, but am told he cannot deal with individual queries, even though I am calling on behalf of a number of residents! BT have the monopoly on a product that they cannot supply - surely it is time to let other companies become involved in line installation, or are they scared they will lose out due to their own bad service?
    A number of residents here, including myself, are now going to escalate the matter to Ofcom, our MP and also the national media. Questions need to be asked as to why new build homes are without essential methods of communication for so long in this age of technology? We are also going to be looking at starting legal action against BT for not fulfilling contractual obligations, and claiming compensation to cover the mounting costs we are paying out. From the amount of postings here we are not alone in this matter, and surely BT can see this can't continue?
    Plese feel free to add your thoughts to this issue.
