In September 2016, after having some carpet laid in my living room, my phone line developed a fault.
Whenever the phone rang, my BT Infinity Hub's light would turn amber and the Broadband symbol would appear in red. They both would flash, then reconnect OK after a few minutes.
I entered into an online chat twice with Support Agents with BT, (the first was with no action being taken) the second resulted in an Engineer visit being booked.
The Engineer came; and took one look at the setup. This "fault" was merely one wire plugged into the wrong slot. (My daughter had set the phone and broadband wires up again, and put them back together the wrong way). So the Engineer put the wires back in the right places and left. Didn't even open his tool bag...The issue was that my Broadband was being funnelled through my telephone, not through the ADSL Splitter.
Almost three months have passed.
Yesterday evening; I was horrified and disgusted to discover that now I am being charged for this Engineer callout, nearly three months after the event! I have had bills for the intervening months, with no additional charges.
This fault was a simple mistake; had we have known that the issue was down misplaced wires then an Engineer visit would not have been neccessary.
I resent being charged for this 2 minute visit, especially after almost three months of said event.
I would understand if the internal wiring of my home had been damaged by messing or tampering with the phone wiring, or through carelessness with DIY or gardening work. But nothing of the sort has occurred.
