Engineer delays

Hi there.

I'm just wandering about current status of getting my BT home setup by Engineer sorted. I'm switching from Virgin Media to BT. I placed/started order early February. Provisional Engineer visit was due 3rd March, but it's not happened yet & is still, apparently, awaiting confirmation. I'm in my last few days of Virgin Media & I'm reliant on internet for MANY aspects (shopping online/banking/email/staying in touch with friends/video streaming/ordering medications etc...). Can I get setup asap please?

Many thanks.

Variations of this story seem all too common on these forums unfortunately, some of which have run for months.

I'd suggest that you call Virgin & abort the cancellation of their service until after your replacement is up & running. Better to pay for two services for a month than risk going without one at all.

If you have had an installation date not honoured, you are entitled to compensation at £5.25 per day from the initial install date to the actual install date.

i got over 200 pounds.......As i was already with BT i didnt lose service, so didnt have the issues you would have...

i set the ball rolling by making an online complaint linked to the order..
