Waiting since January 2013

Hi all,
I'm trying to get a reasonable answer in understanding why it has taken since January to sort out, what should have been a simple home move service, to quite possibly the most frustrating 4 months ever!
Back in January (2013) I was a sky TV/line/broadband customer looking forward to moving into my new home (early March). I was informed that whilst the TV could be setup easy enough, the BT Openreach engineers reported back that there was no line available for telephone or broadband.
I carried on with the SKY TV move and decided that just before the move I would be called back to re-arrange the Broadband and telephone line once the 'engineer' could test connection at the property.
March 8th - move in date ... no engineer
I received multiple emails and text messages to make sure I was present at the property but yet no engineer turned up - not even a courtesy call to say that there may/may not be a delay.
I eventually get through to the service desk who inform me that there is a delay on the installation and to expect an update / further installation on the 8th April
8th April arrives - no engineer - again I receive multiple emails/text messages making sure I'm in for the engineer to visit.
I contact Sky, who then advise that I am going to have to wait until around 26th June before another assessment can take place.
You may be asking yourself, "isn't this Sky's fault".  That's what I thought initially but then it became more and more obvious that the delay was on the BT Openreach/infinity engineers.
I thought to myself, maybe it's because I'm a SKY customer so priority would be set as low.  So ... I contacted BT signed up as a new customer and had an install date for a week later .. 16th April.
I cancelled the SKY order (but kept the TV package) so that I could progress my "faster installation date with BT"
April 16th arrives ... Guess what .... No engineer AGAIN!
I phoned all morning listening to the automated call - type in my home number and get the standard message of "your engineer will be on-site at your property today blah blah blah between the hours of 8am and 1pm"
I thought great - no delay, nothing to worry about.
13:05hrs - I thought I'd try the update again ... "we're sorry there's a delay and if you have not heard from us already, you should receive a call soon" - I never did - it took me to telephone back to request an update.
Apparently my order has been escalated and I should hear from an engineers asap .... in the next 24 hours... maybe 48 hours.
Today ... I have been back in touch with the BT service desk today and have been told that the service desk will receive an update on the line around the 19th ... possibly 20th April.  From there I can expect an installation date around the 26th April.
Can someone please tell me why not one single engineer has turned up at my property to assess the situation or better still install my telephone line and bt infiinity on any of the 3 occasions (yet one engineer visitied my neighbout the other day and said it'd be a 15 mins job, "just can't do it as it's not on my job list") !!!!
Thanks ... waiting in anticipation for a helpful response whilst using up all my 3G download limits and friend's/family broadband useage

I don't think you will get a helpful response here.
1. This is a forum for BT customers, and you're not.
2. Your problem is with Openreach.  They may be owned by BT Group, but no-one here has any control over them.
Your contract is with Sky - it's up to them to get it sorted.

  • Price Changes from 5 January 2013

    BT Broadband Option 1 increases from £17.80 to £18.85
    BT Broadband Option 2 increases from £22.50 to £23.80
    BT Broadband Option 3 increases from £26.80 to £28.35
    BT Infinity Option 1 increases from £21.00 to £22.20
    BT Infinity Option 2 increases from £26.80 to £28.35
    The standard line rental price increases from £14.60 to £15.45
    The Unlimited Anytime Plan increases from £4.90 to £5.15.
    What if I'm unhappy with the price changes?
    We're sorry you're are unhappy about how the price rises affect you and would rather that you stayed with BT as we believe we offer fantastic services and products. We've kept a number of our key prices frozen since December 2011 and will be freezing many of our prices again from the 5 January 2013 until 2014 at the earliest. However if you contact us directly within 10 calendar days of receiving our price change notification you may cease your services without penalty.
    Well I for 1can not afford to pay anymore than what I'm paying so I'm off.

    It's lunacy.
    Just had "the email" myself and I'm wondering just how many millions BT must have spent in their fight with SKY for advertising that customers come to BT for phone, broadband and vision and how many, including me, will be staying.
    I can't afford these price hikes.  We are in a recession in the UK - or hasn't BT noticed?
    Going to have to change provider.  Shame on BT to them and to the customers who have already been paying a lot more than the competions prices - and I wonder how they will explain the (massive) migration from BT to other providers in January to the shareholders
    I am going to apply for my MAC in December, so I am not in the pile up!

    Dear apple, I am really dissapointed with you. Around January 2013, my iPhone 4s 16GB White has hardware issues, which was the Wi-Fi grey out. The wifi grey out means that I can't access the wifi on/off button, and also it has no connection. I have put up with it for months, until june 7 when I decided it has been long enough, and I got a replacement. I told the genius bar what happened, and I already did the so called "steps" that apple reccommended on the site, which was reset network settings, restore iPhone. The genius bar gave me a replacement phone, so I was expecting that the problem would be over, but it isn't. It seems that it's iOS 6.1.3 which is the case of most public complaints on apple iPhone products. Not even 3 weeks after I got the phone replaced, it is doing it again, so I suspect I'm just going to get a replacement again? Unfortunately I only have until 5th of july 2013 until my 1 year warranty is up. After that, any issue I have, I have to purchase apple care. People are expecting this problem to be fixed but I don't see it being solved any time soon. This is horrible and really low, because I have been a good customer, when I talk to the people at the genius bar, I show the utmost respect I can to them for the work they put into their job, but somewhere there is a problem where something has gone wrong. Because of that, people that only have a one year warranty (which i received because I purchased my apple iPhone at an Optus outlet, once that one year warranty is up, I have to pay for a problem that isn't even my fault? That isn't how it should work, you should be fixing this problem so people can be happy customers and leave happy. Obviously you don't all know how to do your jobs, because if you did, we wouldn't have this problem. I would like a replacement phone, ONCE AGAIN. If this problem occurs again, I will simply stop buying your products, and lose faith in your company, your's sincerely, Jack Maher.

    This is a user to user help forum only. You are not addressing Apple here.
    My iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, and iPad 2 are running 6.1.3 with no such problem and the same with the overwhelming majority of iOS devices running 6.1.3.

  • Follow-up to the Podcast problem that has been happening since January...

    K, I give up... Congrats Apple, you took someone who was just starting to break into the Apple line of products and turned them away with terrible customer service and support...
    This is my very first Apple product, and will be last, luckily I'm still in my return period.. But for those of you who have been experiencing this issue since January and received no answers from Apple, I feel for ya'...
    I'm sure Apple could care less about me, ****, I'm just one iPod, but trust me, customer service like this (ignoring an issue for 11 months that puts their product on the top of the list) it will catch up to you...
    Here's hoping the Zune is a good product... As much as I hate Microsoft, at least maybe it will make Apple step-up and treat their customers the way they should be.
    This is in regards to my post, found here:

  • Hi... I've had my IPhone 4S since January 13, and it doesn't have the option to use it as a wifi hotspot? When all my friends iphones do. Is there a way to install in onto my phone? Or what do I need to do to get it??

    Thanks

    Whether you can use your phone in this way is entirely the responsibility of your phone company/carrier.  You need to contact them to see if you can add tethering to your phone plan.  Be warned though that it could get rather expensive, so if you don't really need it, then do without, but in any instance, you need to contact your phone carrier.

  • Mac mini bought January 2013 with Samsung 712N S monitor

    Hello,
    I bought a Mac Mini in January 2013 and I am trying to make it work with my old Samsung monitor 712N S, I bought also the minidisplay port to vga adapter.
    The problem is that the monitor won´t work, just black, no sign of connection.  I checked the mac mini with my tv through hdmi and works perfect.
    Any idea how can I make it work?
    Thanks a lot.

    Check the monitor with another video source. Be sure it's working. If it is working, then you've isolated the problem to either the cable or VGA adapter, or the Mini itself.

  • When I import photos from Photostream into my iPhoto, it no longer organizes them into Events. I haven't been able to creat an Event since November 2013.

    When I import photos from Photostream, iPhoto no longer organizes them into Events. Although I can organize my photos into old or newly created Albums, I haven't been able to create an Event since November 2013. Any ideas would be appreciated.

    Flag the pic(s) and select the the Target Event and go Events -> Add Flagged Pics to Selected Event
    i see how to do this
    Drag the selected pic(s) to the target Event.
    i'm struggling with this. i don't see a way to drag a pic from photostream direct to an event. if i'm in photostream, i can drag a pic, but i can't see any individual event to drag it to. i can dump it in Events in the sidebar and drag to an event from there, but that's a bit clunky.
    beats me why i can copy a pic in photostream, but iphoto won't allow me to paste in an event???

  • Oracle Critical Patch Update Advisory - January 2013

    Hi all,
    11.2.0.3
    Oracle Critical Patch Update - January 2013
    I am confused about CPU, PSU, SPU, USP. I am reading the docs and it seems they are same thing being rambled?
    Which of them is the most important to apply?
    Thanks,
    PetraK

    Thanks gotti and fahd
    I already ask the support and he gave me docs to follow. But the more I am confused with lots of added process.
    Can you validate if the process is correct? My Goal is just to comply with our IT Sec Auditor to apply the latest patch. The auditor does not even know what is the name of the patch as long as it the current updates. So I think he is referring to PSU or SPU or CPU.
    This is the process I got from support:
    1 Appy Oracle Database Patch Set Update (11.2.0.3.8)
        1.1 Download and install latest RDA and run and send the output.
        1.2 Download and install latest OPatch and list the current inventory.
        1.3 Check java version
        1.4 Check and Resolve PSU conflict
        1.5 Backup the current OracleHome as "root"
        1.6 Stop Listener, EM, and all DB Instances
        1.7 Apply PSU
        1.8 Resolve errors if any.
    End.
    So It seems I only need to apply PSU? which is 11.2.0.3.8?

  • How to recover chat history since January 2009...

    I have spent over an hour trying various methods to get the chat history I've established with a company since January 2009. Many software updates and operating system installs over this three-year time-span has left the entire chat history very fragmented, as I only have the past two months. This entire chat history is very important, as it relates to a large portion of proof for an employment lawsuit. If anyone or anything can help with getting this 3 year chat history, I'd be very grateful.

    I have a very old and ugly utility that I created, it requires it be opened in a IE ("Internet Browser") window.
    Note: Once you click the "Refresh" button it can take a long time to list all the chats in
    your chat history. Also, when you select a chat, depending on how many chat messages are in that chat, it can take along time to display the chat messages in a chat:

    I'm now outside the country (since January 1). I try to register, and it
    says it will text me the pin. This doesn't happen. I need to check my
    service suspension request. I spoke with a rep before leaving. She told me
    to suspend the services on the day I left the country, but there was no rep
    to help me with that when I called on January 1. I tried to do it with the
    mechanized options. I think it told me only three months was granted, but I
    want to suspend for six months (until June 29). CAN YOU PLEASE TELL ME HOW
    TO PROCEED SINCE I CAN'T ACCESS MY VERIZON ACCOUNT. I'm in Morocco.

    well, you know how it is - glitches that usually resolve with a hard reset etc
    then a restore. then a factory restore....then ..... nothing fixes so I try the next step with apple online - fill out my serial number and find it is a couple of weeks out of date - and then with the holidays who has time to get to the apple store? this is my second 4s handset as it is - first one the glass cracked from L to R without any impact/damage etc - they changed it out automatically because it's a 'known fault' apparently - so technically, this handset is only 6 months old - but warranty is from original purchase date -
    never imagined it would turn out to be a warranty issue with the phone - and hey maybe when I get a chance to go to the apple store they'll be sympathetic, but I won't be able to get there till at least Jan 4th as it is. On the other hand, another iOS update might resolve the issue - but how long till that release? at the moment I'm having to use my old 3gs for wifi and 4s for phone!!!
