Slightly worried about migrating to John Lewis Broadband.

[link to this post]

So, migrated a family member's broadband from BT to John Lewis (Plusnet) on the 19th December, with an activation date of 5th January. So far so good...

But they didn't post the router out until today and advise 3-5 working days for delivery. Not sure why they decided to leave it until the last minute when there's little/no chance of it arriving in time and she could be without broadband until Monday.

If they migrated could they not use their existing router?

It's a BT HomeHub - they're locked to BT.

Plusnet is part of BT and it works with both. Possibly it is a better router too.

Homehub 3, I think.

Panic over though - the new router arrived yesterday. However we still don't know the ADSL migration date.. Turns out it was only the phone migrating yesterday.

And it's all going wrong...

It was apparently supposed to be a simultaneous migration of both services on the 5th, but only the phone switched.

I've just been told by PN that their broadband supplier is blaming their phone supplier and vice versa. Even though both are the same company (exchange has no other providers than BT) .

Historically Plusnet have never seemed to like simultaneous provide migrations, and nearly always migrate the phone before placing the broadband order.

Ask support to check with the "Provisioning team" what is going on. (Though I expect first-line support haven't heard of them. Only the forum reps will).

BT Wholesale shows a cease order is in place on the line and due to complete by the 5th January.

I've spoken to the order enquiry team and they've e-chatted to the supplier(s) who don't know what's going on. It's now been escalated to another team - I should hear back in a couple of hours or so.

That's probably the Provisioning Team.
