Off to a bad start

So I took half a day off so the engineer can visit today, he showed up around 13:30, replaced the socket even though I didn't ask him to, didn't bother screwing it probably, ran a failed test, told me he's going to the cabinet and will be back in 30 mins but never saw him again.

website still showing that engineer visit is pending and my landline and broadband are being setup.

I don't know what's going on.

I have no idea who to contact as the online chat is useless (I waited for 2 hours for an advisor to no avail).

No phone numbers on the website.

Any advice is appreciated.

Quick update. A different BT guy came earlier today, took him 15 mins to sort everything out. I'm getting +35 Mbits. So far so good.

Hi @Anonymous User

Just wondering if your nowtv hub router is plugged in and if so how many green lights are showing on the front of the router.

You can contact the nowtv broadband team by signing in on here and click on My Account > Broadband and Calls and click on the moving home section which should reveal a telephone number, when you get through ask to be transferred to the relevant broadband dept.

Just got off the phone with them, they said OR engineer didn't send them any update, they will contact open reach and should hear from them within 72 hours. Not the answer I wanted tto hear, but I guess now it's an OR thing and not a NOW thing.

Personally I would use the online chat and always save a copy of the transcript as this will always come in handy for taking the matter further.  Are they charging you for a service you are not receiving, as they should not.  If you are unhappy you need to follow their complaints procedure state to them that this is a complaint.  This will allow you to take the matter further.  I advise people to pass their complaints on to Ofcom, and if Now TV do not put things right take the matter to CISAS is the Communications and Internet Services Adjudication Scheme.  Through this scheme you can cliam losses. The more people complain through these services, not only are you helping yourself, you are also helping others as these companies will be held accountable.
