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.

    Only the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.

  • 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.

  • 1 week later still no broadband just cancelled app...

    Really fed up now My broadband went off last Friday night and I'm still no further, the final straw was last night when another call from Mumbai to tell me that me the appointment for today ( Friday) won't be till Monday! . They tell me they have checked my line over 4 times and the problem lies in the house. My phone line crackles and the broadband has been on and off intermittently for a while now. Sick to death

    The chances are that if you have a noisy line this will be the cause of your slow speed.
    Have you tried a known working corded telephone in the test point of your main socket? If it is noisy to there then you have a line problem causing the problems.
    Most noisy line faults do not show when they run a line test.

  • My ipod nano (2nd generation) will cont connect with windows or itunes, windows says it has had reported errors??? any help? havnt used ipod in over a week and now it wont work with my computer

    my ipod nano (2nd generation) wont connect with windows or itunes, i used it last week (charged it through USB) then this week when i connect it (once again through USB) it wont work, it says "windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems" any help? ive made sure my itunes is up to date, done a reboot on my computer and ipod and still nothing..help please

    This could either be a conflict with the iPod's docking port, the iPod's USB sync cable, or even the USB port you are plugging the iPod into on your PC.  So the first thing I would try and do is plug the iPod into a different USB port on your PC.  Make sure it's a high powered USB 2.0 port as they provide a higher power throughput than older USB ports or even the ones that are sometimes available on the front of the tower.
    It might help to disconnected all other USB devices from the PC (minus the keyboard and mouse) and reboot the PC. Then reconnect the iPod once again.
    If still no luck, swap out the cable with another known working cable to rule out the possibility of a damaged or faulty cable.
    Lastly, plug the iPod into another PC to see if it's recognized there.  If the same error appears on another machine, it's likely a hardware issue with the Nano meaning you'll want to have it serviced or replaced.

  • Ever since local provider qwest installed Bing (without permission) i cant log into my gmail account for over 2 weeks, and getting desperate here.

    local provider Qwest nstalled "Bing" onto my internet without my permission , and since then, i cant log into my Gmail acct. Wont recognize my name or PW. no log in for over 2 weeks now. Getting desperate. i have asked for help using online support dozens of times with no reply from mozilla

    Just to recap, this is a collection of ports I have collected over time for people who needed this information when setting up the HP ePrint app so that they could view their email from within the app.  I am certain other applications also need this information.  Although lengthy, I could not find a more comprehensive place to retrieve this information.  Feel free to post additional information, faulty information, or other related topics below as this is simply a collection of data and it would be practically impossible to test all of them. Thank you!

  • 6 Weeks and still no phone line............Home Mo...

    I recently moved home and used BT's home move service and thats where it all went wrong!!!
    I moved less than 1 mile and the addresses are on the same exchange, so how come i am now approaching 6 weeks and BT still have not connected my line???
    12/01/2013
    Contacted BT gave them all the details and was told "yes you can keep your existing number but we are busy so it will be the 05/02/2013 before we get you connected" Well thats 3 weeks but OK.
    05/02/2013
    I take the day off workand wait patiently for the engineer to arrive (1pm - 6pm it said) so when it got to 3pm i phoned BT just to check all was OK, the lady says yes sir he will be with you today!!!!!   Well 6pm came and went and and i contacted BT at 6:30pm and was passed around a bit but eventually spoke to a guy who says " ah there is a problem with the survey and no engineer was coming today" ARRRRR why did you not contact me and let me know rather than costing me £200 by taking the day off!!!!
    06/02/2013
    So i was asked to phone the next day at 9am so i did and was told "Its OK sir there was a problem at the exchange (now nothing to do with a survey apparently!!) your line will be connected today by 12pm"  Great i thought.
    Well 12pm came and went just like 6pm did the day before and guess what still no line!!!
    07/02/2013
    Now very annoyed and tired, I Phone again, and for the forth time the story has changed again, now there is a broken cable 1km long which has to be fixed although both my neighbours have cables coming from the same pole which are working fine!!
    It is now going to be 05/03/2013!!!!!!!!!   a staggering 7 weeks to connected one line no wonder openreach are behind!
    although i am expecting more lies and confusion when this date looms.......
    To top it all off yesterday Warren Buckley sends me a letter saying he hopes my move is going well and how BT can get me connected without delay........
    Mr Buckley you are a liar sir!!

  • 3 weeks and still no help.  sorry to vent but very dissappointed with ITUNE

    I have tried everything. from reinstalling and about 8 emails to service and it seems everytime I get somebody else answering me back with the wrong info as if I had told them a different story of my issue. I know some of you have tried to help me too. I thank you for that. Today I asked them to delete my account completely so I can just try to set up a new one.
    My problem was, Everytime I try to change my address it WILL NOT SAVE. I have tried everything that Everyone has told me from links to rebooting and trying to everything itunes staff has tried. I even BEGGED them to call me on the phone. It has been over 3 weeks now and I cannot buy music as it will not let me save my info change. The odd thing is , I never changed it to begin with. For some reason it went back to my old address. I am so irritated as I just want to buy some tunes. Sorry to vent, just extremely dissappointed with the service. 1billion songs sold and no fricking phone number to call. Just emails that take DAYS to hear back.. Sony connect, Napster? anyone wanna buy 3 ipods?
    And yes I checked with all of my credit cards. they are fine.

    John,
    I read your submission with some interest. I don't know for sure but I believe your problem is somewhere within your own pc. I had similar problems some months back with unsolicited changes which drove me crazy. I finally re-formated and reinstalled everything...no more problems.
    Your comments reference Apple support really interested me. I thought it was just me and my lack of patience. It's obviously not.
    Companies such as Apple are divisionalised in every aspect of their operations. R & D, Design, Production, Marketing are all cutting edge performance operations. Support, which I'm sure will be fractionalised down even further as it spreads across the globe is another issue completely.
    It's simply appalling. The lack of customer service, technical know-how and frankly, interest, in customer problems is beyond belief.
    I recently purchased a new PowerBook 15G4 directly from Apple Store on-line in the UK. I won't go into detail but it was sheer mayhem from beginning to end. The pre-sales (marketing) was fine but from there onwards I received service I wouldn't have believed possible from a viable and progressive organisation. It was call-centre service from Ireland that ensued at this juncture and if I was to rate it on a scale of 1 to 10 it would have scored 0. It cost me additional money at the end of the day, lots of it!
    My latest Apple disappointment is the recent purchase of a new iPod Video 30Gb here in Spain where I live. Nice product that attracted me (already have a mini iPod 4Gb) because of it's ability to play music video's which I love. Problem now is I find my Spanish Itunes Store doesn't sell video's! That's where my account is because of the criteria of creating an account subject to home address & credit card address so I can't switch to another store, such as the UK one, to purchase anything. So, I have a brand new video iPod I can't use for anything more than the audio I already had on my iPod Mini! Apple are happy to market and sell the basic product in certain countries but fail to mention the inability to provide you with the video content you require to utilise it fully.
    I'm not the constantly whinging variety, I don't have the time or the inclination, but I can only say to Apple....this just isn't good enough and eventually you'll realise it yourself. Problems are never overly apparent when business is booming but the time will come when service like this becomes a major player in the success or otherwise of the operation. I'm a very disallusioned Apple customer!

  • Over a month and still no internet connection solution

    It has been over a month since I've moved into my new house, which was actually during the strike. Shortly after that, they got me activated, since my activation date was during the strike, so it never got turned on. The internet goes in and out all day everyday. After having to troubleshoot time after time and them not calling me back when they said they would, they finally sent someone out to take a look over a week ago. The guy didn't even need to come in. He said it was something outside, nothing to do with my home.  He said the main network people would have to take a look and they will let me know what's what. Well, that was 10 days ago and I've heard nothing. I sent an email asking for a status update, and the reply 3 days later just referred me to troubleshooting tips. These poeple are impossible to work with. Phone calls take forever (time I do not have) to get to talk to a person, and most times when I call, they do not see the history of my issues for some reason. I just want my internet to work! When my first bill comes, I am refusing to pay it, as I have not had working service yet. Maybe when they aren't getting their money, they will fix my issue. I am so frustrated right now. I'm hoping someone from Verizon will see this post and help me out.

    I am not sure if this was a reply to my comment. But I didn't hear from anybody. I did call again to check. But, I was asked to stay home again for another visit from the tech. Sorry, I don't see how another visit is going to help and honestly I got no more days to spare for this. I cancelled the service late last night.
    It seems to me that Verizon is spending all it's energy on FIOS and ignoring DSL. Almost all of the people I spoke with were nice, but too bad they aren't competent enough to solve my issues for so long. 
    Adios Verizon and any of your product I won't use in the future...!

  • Got charged full retail for a new phone instead of Edge Up, wiped out bank account, had to refuse shipment, no compensation for the time spent talking to 14  representatives over the phone in the last week, and still no refund??

    On 9/29 I ordered an iPhone 6 Plus 128GB as an edge up from my 5S, swiped my card at the store to pay the Edge Up fee, and was told 10/31 was the expected ship date.
    Didn't see the order on my My Verizon account, spoke with 3 representatives on the phone to actually get the order number so I could track it.
    On 10/24 the ship date disappeared and I called to find out there was an issue with the payment. I gave them my debit card number over the phone for the Edge Up amount, and they charged me full retail -- OVER $1,000.
    They promised it wouldn't post to my account and it wouldn't ship after cancelling the order. Next day it shipped. I called FedEx and refused the package over the phone.
    I called when the payment posted the next day, totally wiping out my bank account and charging me overdraft fees.
    They said they'd push for a refund immediately -- on Sunday, 10/24. It's now 10/30, I see no refund, I have no phone, and I have over $100 in bank fees from their mistake.
    I spoke with a supervisor on the phone and they said they could refund the bank fees, but would do nothing for the fact that they screwed up my order, and told me it would be another 2-3 weeks before they actually ship a phone to me if I ordered today.
    Sorry, but that's NOT good customer service. I can buy out my Edge agreement, sell the phone on eBay, and go to another carrier pretty easily. I don't want to leave Verizon's service, but I don't really see how they value me as a customer?
    Does anyone else have some idea of what I could do about this whole thing??
    TL;DR -- Verizon charged full retail for a phone instead of Edge Up fee, still no refund, no compensation for the inconvenience and stress they caused, and another 2-3 week wait on a phone I ordered a month ago.

    That situation went from inconvenient to complicated quickly.  Wait for any pending orders to drop off, wait for things to clear up, wait till your upgrade comes up and then upgrade when your contract is fulfilled.  I would have suggested a replacement phone, I know, with only a month left why couldn't you just upgrade early, but these situations where people try to upgrade early always end horribly and once a phone order starts, it almost cannot finish until something winds up shipped received and returned.  Sorry this happened the way it did.  Definitely not efficient.

  • 7 Weeks waiting and still no Broadband installed !...
