Looking like two engineer no-shows in a week...

So, it looks like two engineer no-shows for my fibre install inside of a week...

First missed appointment was on Monday 10th, AM slot.

Second is this morning, also an AM slot.

Monday's missed appointment was a running joke of excuses from Openreach, first that the engineer was running late, next was that he was too busy to complete the job, and after that it was apparently because they had no VDSL modems left... (What a crock of £$%$!)

So now, again, it's 12:45 as I type this, and it looks like yet another engineer no-show.

Zen are trying to chase, but unfortunately I can only contact the tech support team on a weekend, who don't have access to all the systems (they're doing their best though).

Whose backside do I need to kick hard and repeatedly to get a damned engineer to turn up and do their job I wonder?

Seriously unimpressed.

Edit: Yup, as I thought - second no-show.

Time to email the CEO I think.

you are in leics right?

Nope, North Suffolk..

ok sorry I thought you was as you replied on my other thread.

Hi Stoo

I am just down the road from you (4JL).

When I had my installation done in late October (Infinity 2) the O/R engineer was on secondment from Canterbury!

Wanted to say thanks for all the info you posted back in June about the ducting problems etc in our area - helped me to understand what the delay was with the roll out (and to be patient).

I get 51 Down, 11 Up (other end of the street from the cabinet - but I'm not complaining ) and it is as stable as can be.

Hope you get it sorted soon

Thanks for the kind words Zeb!

I'm just waiting to hear back from Zen again on the situation - hopefully there will be a flag raised in the system somewhere which means the high level complaints team can get involved now..

*fingers crossed*

I have a friend just down the road from us (4JP area) due to have Infinity 2 installed on Wednesday (the router arrived today by RM Tracked)

I'll let you know if the engineer shows - could be a useful bit of information for Zen to throw at Openreach

Send him back!! He's needed back in Canterbury!!

I've had confirmation today that it's been re-booked for Wednesday AM too - fingers crossed!

And if he doesn't turn up, "too two - fingers uncrossed?
