Order delay

I ordered a new Business Line to my address, it was scheduled for the 23rd, the engineer came and install the line at our house, he then informed me that the cable from the poll to the road was being replaced and once it was done I'd be connected. I was informed that this would occur today the 29th.

 

I was contacted by your call centre today and asked if I still wanted to cancel my order. I said no, I never wanted to cancel my order, I was then told and Engineer would visit on the 8th. While the man on the other end of the line was polite he obviously had a limited understanding of the english language and completely failed to understand the simple question "Why was it not setup today as promised by the engineer and by BT".

 

I rang another agent and again no answer, just repeating 'The engineer will visit on the 8th'. I'm resigned to the engineer coming on the 8th but this is a terrible start to my contract with BT. Order delayed two weeks and a total failure to explain why, compounded by a failure to understand the question 'Why is there another delay?'.

An engineer has been around, he's a contracted engineer whose job it is to put a line to the first poll, the job the Engineer on the 23rd did. So he's had a look to see if there's anything he could do but it requires Openreach so he's left and I still have no line.

Hi Markofthepeak,

 

I am sorry to see you are having problems getting this line installed.  I have contacted our order management team to have a look into this for you to see what is happening to try and get to the bottom of this.

Seems like a very common problem, perhaps it might be better if the business phone line people were trained to help the customers rather than fob them off.
