Re: Adding a phone socket with WLR providers


[re: Oliver341] [link to this post]
 
I bet you can't get a 2nd lamdline installed by any ISP other than BTr.

My ISP, Orange, can't even handle an existing 2nd landline, so they wouldn't be able to add one.

So that's at least 1 OR service that a WLR provider refuses to provide.

1999: Freeserve 48K Dial-Up => 2005: Wanadoo 1 Meg BB => 2007: Orange 2 Meg BB => 2008: Orange 8 Meg LLU => 2010: Orange 16 Meg LLU => 2011: Orange 20 Meg WBC

Thinking about this, I don't see why BT Retail wouldn't. Seeing as there is nothing contractual about fitting an extension. Simply a 12-month guarantee.

The thing to do is to ask them?

My broadband basic info/help site - www.robertos.me.uk | Domains,website and mail hosting - Tsohost.
Connection - Plusnet UnLim Fibre (FTTC). Sync ~ 54.2/15.2Mbps @ 600m. - BQM

I remember from previously, the charge for additional phone sockets was added to the BT phone bill, so whether BTr's systems can handle a non-WLR customer ordering Openreach work, I don't know.

There's also a possibility that Openreach would only accept the job from the customer's WLR provider and not a third party company ordering Openreach's services, I don't know their rules on that.
