Replacement router order cancelled

18 th October 2024

I have been having serious problems getting my router replaced

on the 6 th October 2024, router was not connecting to internet.

Logged with Tech service who diagnosed very quickly a fault router and an order for a replacement was ordered. Delivery 2 to Three days. After three days had not arrived, chat line to tech full fibre team who ran the test again and put me through to purchasing, who ordered a replacement for the lost replacement. Saying after investigation the original order was cancelled at despatch as they said I Already had a router and it would be chargeable.

Back to tech team, who put me back to purchasing who ordered a replacement and said it was defiantly not chargeable, expect in three days.  Never arrived no tracking email fro Royal Mail, so was not despatched. 

Back to Tech team who put me through to purchasing again, who on checking said they could not see the order in thier system!

but very helpful and reordered with notes on the order and said it would definitely be delivered in 2 to 3 days.

now the 18 of October have not had any internet connection except via a mobile that has now used up the free allowance and is getting expensive. 

My question is how do I complain about the lack of service and how do I get out of this loop.

Arrived just after eleven, now all set up and internet working just fine, voip phone initially  didn’t connect but after few minutes it came to life.

Debbie we are so grateful you stayed with this and got it sorted.

 

Do you know if our bill will be reduced for period that we were out of service, the VoIP phone was three weeks,  and until someone lent us a laptop to connect directly to the white box, (which did give us limited hotspot Wi-Fi) couldn’t access the internet for two weeks. Just a thought.

very many thanks and regards

Hi Debbie, no news yet I think,  as there seems there is serious problem somewhere along the line,  is it not possible for an instruction just to issue a new router from the warehouse (customer care) and bypass the problem,  to get me back up and running, whilst they sort out what has happened. ? 
Regards

Many thanks Debbie, hope they can find the reason. It’s does look like the latest order has gone the same way.

Do you know if they will resend the order .

all my equipment is WiFi except the voip phone and the tv,(no catchup or guide information,  have been loaned a laptop to plug directly into the open reach box which gives me some internet access but has very slow hotspot connection, but no phone connection. So not ideal but hopefully things are moving.

Hi @Skyla50 

 

Our warehouse team have advised that they are trying to find out what has happened to the router order and previous orders placed.

 

They will let me know as soon as they get to the bottom of this. Sorry again for the delays.

Thankyou Debbie adding last post. 

Just for info, the original order placed on th 7 th Oct  and not delivered , is it possible that after the replacement order the despatch system has a block on further orders being sent to stop duplicate orders as the original order has not been deleted and needs someone to access it to unblock it ?

Hi Skyla50

 

Thanks for updating your Community Profile. I can't see any reasons why the previous router orders were cancelled.

 

I can see the new order placed and I will check on this again first thing on Monday morning to make sure this order is still progressing ok.
