I ordered a new line and broadband for our Village Hall back on the 4th March. Although we are a Charity running a small Village Hall we were told it would have to be a business account.
On the 11th of April they erected the new pole that was required to install the line.
The next I heard was a text with the content below.

I also received this text

As this is the Village Hall and not my home, I had to go down to the hall and wait from 08:00, and by 13:00 no-one had turned up. I contacted BT and they apologised and said they could re-schedule for sometime in June, to which I said that was not acceptable. The lady said she would escalate the priority of the call.
The next I heard was the text below.

So again I went down to the hall and waited. By 15:00 there was no sign of an engineer so I contacted BT who said to hang on as the engineer would attend that day. I called them back at 17:00 having not seen an engineer to be told that he was not coming today!!!!
I rang BT and complained (waste of time), They said they would urgently re-schedule the appontment and I told them it would need to be a Monday or a Friday.
The next thing was an automated phone call to say they were coming on the Tuesday.!!!
19th got an automated phone call to say they were coming tomorrow which I took the option to cancel.
Again I rang BT and we agreed another appontment for Friday 30th May. I received the following text.

All seemed on plan until I received this text.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Message from BT: Our engineer was unable to gain access to your premises to complete order WJK529EM. Please contact us on 0800800152 to re arrange. Thank you
Contacted BT who said it must have been a system problem, and that all was OK for the 30th.
Then I received the following text!!!!!!!!
Message from BT: We have not heard from you ref order WJK*****. We will assume you no longer require this order unless you contact us on 0800800152 by 30/05/14
Each time I called I tried to escalate the problem only to be told there is no one available, total frustration!
I give up!!!!! does BT have any clue how to handle examples of their poor service? They threatened me with a bill of £144 for each call failure, where is my £288?
