Problem migrating from Plusnet to ICUK

I received my MAC key from PlusNet on 23.09.13 and promptly gave it to my new ISP, which was to be ICUK.

ICUK have notified me twice that the migration has failed for some reason.

Leslie Costar of ICUK recommended that I check with my line rental provider (Post Office) whether there are any open orders on my line.

I contacted the Post Office 'support' 2 days ago but they haven't got back to me yet.

Has anyone got any suggestions on this problem (preferably legal!)

I haven't given my MAC to anybuddy else except from ICUK.

Three days now and STILL no reply from the Post Office 'support'

I phoned their 0845 number yesterday but - gave up after hanging on for one hour.

What a joke hey! - I can't migrate to ICUK because of them for gawd knows what reason.

I would cancel my years line rental con-tract if I could - but lose £120?

Bar stewards!

I'm surprised ICUK can't get the actual reason from Openreach.

Well, so am I actually, I can't even log into the pobroadband site now but, worse things happen at sea (I hear) and I shall be sending out a couple of those things we used to write, letters I believe they were called

Why do you want to leave PlusNet anyway?

Time to move on, been with PlusNet for, um, 4 or 5 years now, been with many ISP's o'er the last 12 years.

Zen was/is the best - AOL was the ... ?

It's also a way to start anew - without any junk mail YEEHAW!

I changed my land line number sometime ago and haven't had a single cold call since

That is an exceptionally bad reason for leaving!

That implies to me that you use an ISP email address, which I think is a bad idea, don't make the same mistake again when and if you change.

Well, there's more to it than that Kevin, my download speed has been a pathetic 1.4Mbps of late, whereas it's usually about 3 - 5 Mbps, hardly Superfast I know but, it's enough for HD YouTube and the iPlayer.
I've had 2 Openreach engineer visits and ya know, one just gets a bit fed up with it all and (in my case) takes drastic action.
I'd still recommend PlusNet to anyone though and, who knows, I may go back to them one day
