Moving from BT

Hi all,

Signed up on the 27/7 for migration from BT (phone and Fibre broadband). How long does this normally take? router hasn't been delivered yet and heard nothing from PlusNet.

Have logged into the member centre that tells me my account is being prepared, is it normal to take this long and not hear anything from PlusNet?

Many Thanks

No you've fallen into the hole I fell into and others have when moving from BT. :-/

Call them (SALES, not support), or raise a ticket, or open a thread on the community forum, and someone will kick the system. Your account is probably in technical "limbo"

Good luck.
Please post how it goes, so others (e.g. me) thinking of following in your footsteps can learn ...

You need to get hold of them quick, as you don't want the MAC from BT to expire, or you have to get that re-issued.

Have posted a topic on the forums, I'm considering cancelling my order with PlusNet - not impressed!

I too, fell into the 'hole'. As jchamier says phone them. When I called after not having heard anything for a week, the person I spoke to was able to set things in motion there and then. Everything went as expected from then onwards.

I can understand that, but once you speak to someone they can fix this very quickly and get the order moving. I suspect its a BT to Plusnet with fibre gotcha, and not very many people are doing that yet.
