How to terminate an account without paying the early termination charge ?

Due to the closure of Plusnet Business, I was advised to move to BT Business Broadband.

 

A BT residential number on the same line was also moved to digital voice with Cloud Voice Express but did not function with the BT smarthub

No dial-tone was present and calls were sometimes diverted to my mobile phone but went mostly to voicemail.

It was not possible to make outbound calls using my existing BT cordless handsets.

 

The analog telephone socket on a BT Business Smarthub is disabled within the configuration only available to BT engineers,.

Although the green socket for a legacy handset was present it did not function as there was an undeclared  expectation that calls would use an additional IP handset such as Yealink instead of analog handsets.

 

The BT Business product as delivered, was mis-sold and unfit for purpose.

The early termination clause is Void as the service was not available with the supplied hardware.

As the service did not commence, it requires no termination.

 

A rival broadband supplier service is now in place, it just worked out of the box.

Leaving BT is a bit like a divorce, you know there is no exit path without coughing up money but you come to realize that it really is the better option.

 

Final bill paid including early termination fee for a service never actually delivered.

Now I am going to take a good look at how may relatives are still with BT and see what I can do to help them find a better choice of provider.
