6 weeks and counting to complete a simple homemove...

Hi
Apologies in advance if this post seems like a rant. 
I moved house on 1/8/14. A current broadband and linerental customer. Sine that date I have had an ongoing battle with BT to get my homemove completed.
At first i was told my new address couldn't have broadband but could have fibre to home, I was fairly OK with this since I wanted to upgrade at some point anyway. Unfortunetly I was told the earliest an engineer could visit would be September 18th! I went along with this grudgingly. I was later informed that there was an issue on my account and that the order couldn't be completed - they would ring me in 2 working days. I have since rung multiple times - always getting delayed, never any answers. No idea what the status of this order is, they are still supposed to be dealing with it.
On 22/8/14 during one of these phone calls I was suddnely told I CAN get regular broadband in my property so on that date I started a broadband order to use whilst I waited for fibre to home.
That broadband order was due to be completed on 1/9/14 and has since been delayed twice by BT citing problems with openreach. I was supposed to receieve a call today and haven't - not the first time. At the end of my tether with BT.
So to sum up:
Delayed service
Orders being ignored/going missing
Rarely receivce promised call backs
Told different thngs by multiple staff
Lied to on various occasions
Wasted money paying for mobile internet
Not happy. Thought I'd post her on the offchance I can received some actual customer service. Will be closing my BT account at end of the week otherwise citing the fact BT unable to provide a service.
Thanks for reading

  • No landlline for 3 weeks and counting

    We have had a phone fault for 3 weeks now, since 25th April. no incoimg calls and no outgoing calls. BT said they would redirect calls to a mobile but have failed to do this. BT have not contacted us to tell us when the fault will be fixed, nor how to claim compensation. I hate to thiink what we are spending on the mobile now. I don't have time to spend ages on the phone in a queue, but how come BT can't apporach me to tell me what's wrong? After all we are way past the standard 3 days to fix a fault. How come BT can email me every quarter about my bill, but can't email me to tell me what's happening. The fault tracking system has been updated once in the last 2 weeks and simply say's "we're working on your fault". The silence is deafening. Wasn't it BT who had the advertising slogan 'it's good to talk'.

  • 5 weeks and counting for replacement iPad?

    My iPad 2 died when I tried upgrading to the latest version of IOS. So I sent it in for a repair costing over $250. Three weeks after apple received my product the status is "pending replacement" I contacted customer support and was told that because the iPad was engraved when I bought it the relacement is waiting to be engraved. I tried canceling the engraving but was told that it was too late to do that and my repair will be shipped in a few days. Ten days later still no iPad and still  "pending replacement" as the repair status.
    I remember when apple customer service was the best that there was but unless you are dealing with the latest model they don't care about customer service. I use the iPad in my business, both as a register and to show images to customers, and have had 3 weeks without a tool that I used every day. I am losing business because they won't let me cancel an engraving that still has not been done.
    It is now 5 weeks since the "replacement pending" appeared on my repair, I have been on "chat" 3 times and had a senior supervisor looking into it each time. Nothing happens. one left me his email and when I try emailing him I never get a reply. I called last week and eventually spoke to a senior supervisor who was going to look into it. Tim, the supervisor, does respond to emails, he tells me that there is no news whenever I contact him. He did apologize for the delay and offered me anything from the apple store of less than $100 valie (there really isn't much at that price point), now I am awaiting approval on my placation but still nobody can tell me when I will get my Ipad back.
    Whatever happened to Apple? They used to be such a good reliable company.

  • 5 weeks and counting for BT to fix my phoneline fa...

    I have not been able to receive call from my BT landline now for 5 weeks!  BT tell me that I have to wait for them to contact me for updates.  Often BT fails to call on the day they promise and when they do call they tell me that there is no progress on fixing the fault and they cannot give me a date when the call will be fixed.  I have spoken to 20+ BT employees trying to get the fault resolved.  I have spoken to billing today to find out when I can get out of my current contract as BT cannot give me a working service and I was told August 2013! I was asked to be put through to a Supervisor and was cut off.
    I feel completely helpless and swindled (because I have paid for the line rental in advance).
    I am desperate simply to have a working phoneline.

  • No Phone for 8 weeks and counting..........

    Our phone has been off line since the end of Sept contrary to the fault listing of Oct!  We still do not know when we will have an operational phone the last contact was Friday last week when we were advised by mobile(!) that traffic lights had been ordered - what for?  How long is this going on why doesn't BT let us know the details?  We live in a remote area and mobiles are not reliable - we Feel let down and ignored - if we stop paying our line rental BT will cut us off completely how do we get any answers?

  • 2 weeks and counting...  please help

    I've had my Mac for 2 weeks. I've had to reboot it several times (like windows) for security updates. I've had it lock up 3 times so bad that I had to do a hard reset. Today for the 4th time I opened the lid and it wouldn't come on requiring a hard reset. Upon rebooting it took 5 minutes to get itself going again.
    Now tonight, Parallels crashed on me. Tried to run it a second time and it won't even try to load. Opened Finder to go try to open Utilities program and when I scroll down using mouse to get to Utilities folder the Finder window just disappeared and I saw the trash can flicker. Tried again and same thing, except second time all my icons and folders on the desktop are gone.
    Now I can't log out or anything. Nothing is working. Do I do yet another hard reset? I can't believe all the good things everyone has to say about Mac being so solid and all the problems I'm having.
    Can anyone tell me what to do to get this thing going again? I don't seem to be able to logout or reset as the menus when clicked are not doing anything.
    Thanks,
    glenn

    Sorry, this is an MBP that I just received 2 weeks ago. A little more information. I just opened a shell and looked at top and nothing seems to be going on. I then did ps -ax to see if anything related to parallels was running and 2 processes were. I killed them both.... Then tried to restart and when I clicked apple the shell program I had open just closed on its own.
    The entire system seems to be asking me to hard reset again. I guess no matter where we go we can't get an OS that actually works. I love my Mac but I see no sign of anyone being able to claim its more stable than anything else.
    Please help as I was hoping to get some work done tonight...

  • Why Can't I Get My Issue Resolved? 3 Weeks and Counting!

    For 3 weeks we have been having service issues with Comcast. We have had outage after outage of our phone, internet and cable. We have wasted countless hours on the phone with "customer service" trying to get our issues resoloved. Finally we were down to 1 issue.  Our DVR was not recording. A tech was scheduled to come out on Monday.  He came, parked outside my house, then left.  Great.   Called again, got the run around, apology, etc.  Another tech was scheduled to come out today (7/29/2015).  He showed up!!!!!   He fiddled around with some wires outside, that didn't work.  But, the TV was still working.  He replaced the box inside the house.  And then we waited for the box to reset.  AND..............NOTHING.  NO TV AT ALL.  He tried again, twice.  Still nothing.Then the tech says he thought the issue was with the line and he was "going to find his lineman, who was right around the corner".  2.5 hours later, now with no cable at all, instead of just no DVR, he still hadn't come back.   I called 1-800-XFINITY and spoke to "Jenny".  She tried to contact the tech with no luck, then she scheduled someone else to come back today to fix our issue.  SUPRISE.  Here it is 7:00 ESt and no one has shown up.  My husband has called and was told that a "ticket" was not put in to have a tech come back.  REALLY COMCAST?  This is unacceptable.  How can you think it is OK for an employee to leave a job unfinished and allow your customer to remain without services because of this?????

  • 6 weeks and counting

    The short version of our tale of woe... Moved house in early December, took over existing line and BT broadband. Rural location, couple of miles from the local village exchange, no mobile signal... Line was droppy but livable. Then on Dec 21st phone line, and of course broadband went dead. Called in the fault, told it would be fixed by Dec 25th, it wasn't. To be clear the fault is in Openreach's domain - no engineer has been visited my property (one was supposed to visit but didn't despite my partner taking the day off). I won't list out the calls made and commitments received for resolution. On one occasion BT thought the fault was fixed and closed it - No-one had the courtesy to check with me whether it was fixed, of course it wasn't. Latest story, was promised that fault would be fixed last Friday, it wasn't... Called faults again, profuse apologies, received a text saying that fault would be fixed by Wed 28th. Got a call yesterday to advise that fault will be fixed by February 10th. Do I have any faith that BT/Openreach will meet this commitment? Frankly no... all other promises have been missed, false, or lies. The call centre can't do anything, there is no escalation path, no-one with any authority can tell me anything useful.
    So, best case scenario will be an over 7 week time to fix - In what field of business is this an acceptable time for a repair? If anyone has any suggestions as to how to progress please advise.

    Hi abzmike,

  • 9 weeks and counting to receive OCP cert.

    Hi. I passed the 9i OCP on Sep 12th, and very soon afterwards (the weekend following, actually) I sent off the necessary forms / exams etc.
    I receieved confirmation about two weeks later that this was all in order and that my cert would be soon dispatched.
    It hasnt been.
    I have checked with Oracle Univeristy and still nothing - Prometric have the correct address etc. Is this normal? I know that they have told me there is the 8 week rule. I am just wondering how flexible this 8 week period is? Does it often turn into a three month rule?
    Just wondering if I will see my hard earned cert before Christmas....

  • BT Broaband Delay (3 weeks and counting...)

    On 18th January 2014, I placed an 'Moving Home' order and sadly had to leave Infinity for ADSL at the new location. In the confirmation email, my engineer was due to install a brand new line on 30th January, followed up by activation on the same day. 
    Despite the unpleasant visit, I was told that activation could take up to midnight (In my experience, very rare). The next morning (31st January), I called up BT and advised that activiation did not take place. If I remembered correctly, they told me that there was an exchange fault and it would take up to 24hrs before they can progress my order. So I patiently waited and called back the following day given nothing happened. I was told that they required an "multi-skilled engineer" to fix the problem, and it would take up to a few days. On 4th February, I called up for a chase, thankfully they fixed the exchange fault however there was a system fault with my "order not matching up" and advised that I would get a call back the next day. Given there was no call back, I gave them another chase (5th Feburary), I was told that the system fault was fixed but identifed a fault with the tie pair. Activation delays for another weekend whilst engineer was due to fix that. On Tuesday (11th February), I gave them another call given no news was recieved. Finally, everything was fixed BUT the order was now stuck in the system and advised to re-issue the order. My order was apparently assigned to a specialist which would "replace" my order within 24hrs. After constiently refreshing my order status page, nothing happened. I phoned up on Thursday (13th February) and was advised the same thing, I was too annoyed to even talk. On Valentines Day (14th February), I "happily" called up to see what was going on. Apparently, BT confused my order as for being an Infinity broadband, great! They told me that today (15th February), someone will give me a call to re-issue an "fast track" order (Completed within 48hrs). I woke up to a 5am text message and email, telling me that my new activation date would be 20th February, excellent fast track service. I called up to see what was going on. They gave me no explaination as to why my order wasn't "fast tracked" and advised the "stuck" status again. They told me that because Sunday is non-working day, I will have to call back on Monday (17th February). 
    So what's next? More faults? I'm so excited to hear from them on Monday. 

    Hi Vincent98,
    I would like to take a look at your order. Please send me in your details using the "Contact The Mods" link found in my profile.

How do I make such a report?  Any advice would be great! TIA,Patrick

    I have a Windows 8.1 and it's even running slow.  I'm a complete novice with computers (I've only had this one for 3 weeks) and I'm probably doing something wrong, but I haven't a clue what.
    The tools are not responding when I try to use them.  Some of them work sometimes, but not others and some don't work at all.  I'm in a design class online and I need these tools desperately.  I have an assignment due Monday and I'm losing the whole weekend because Tech Support is only open M-F!
    Any help anyone can give me will be appreciated.

    how can I get rid of ios6 ? I have had this iPad for less than 2 weeks and made the mistake of "upgrading" to ios6 and now my map is completely useless.  Feel like I have been robbed

    There are alternatives. But none of them have Google street view, able to work on iOS 6. Apple should have offered this as a beta version, for a few more months instead of inflicting us with an inferior product. This iPad will probably be my last Apple product. A shame, because until last a few days ago, I thought the iPad and iPhone were fantastic.
    Apple should quit their petty squabbling with, Google and Samsung and concentrate on supplying the best product.
    Google and Samsung must be enjoying this particular fiasco.
