Hi Colin,
Thank you for contacting us via Trustpilot. I’m very sorry that the work at both properties remains incomplete and that you haven’t received any information about when the engineers will return. I understand how frustrating it must be to be left waiting without a clear update or completion date. I would request you to please contact your service provider and ask them to urgently review both orders, confirm what work remains outstanding and arrange the earliest available engineer appointments. Please accept my sincere apologies for the incomplete work, lack of communication and inconvenience caused. ^Abir

Everything went smoothly

Everything went smoothly, the engineer certainly knew what he was doing and he worked very well and was very helpful! It took about three hours for the internet to settle down and it is now running smoothly!

Hi Malcolm,
Thank you for contacting us via Trustpilot. I’m sorry that your internet signal has become worse since the change and that your previous service provided better coverage. I understand how disappointing and frustrating this must be when you expected an improvement. I would request you to please contact your service provider, as they’ll be best placed to test your connection, assess the Wi-Fi coverage within your home and discuss suitable options to improve the signal. Please accept my sincere apologies for the disappointing performance and inconvenience caused.^Abir

Engineer arrived in time slot given

Engineer arrived in time slot given, courteous and friendly, installed new hub and connected our landline phone to digital, which improved sound quality greatly. Slight hiccup at the other end but dealt with it knowledgely and professionally. Overall a good and pleasant experience!

Great can't fault it

Great! The young guy who installed was great and had amazing knowledge. Had to do the internal work as he needed to wait for a crane to reach the lamppost.
Was getting 40mbps with Vodafone and now getting 280mbps with Plusnet! 10/10

BT Full Fibre Install

The engineers, Max and Jaoa were prompt, courteous and professional throughout the installation. They engaged to consult and inform me at key stages and the installation was very neat. Well done BT
