Hello,
I hope someone can help me.
I had 2mb Broadband installed in October, however as there is no external cable point outside our half of the property, the engineers wired the cable accross our neighbours property into a cable/phone point. After a week the neighbour complained both to NTL and to us and requested it to be moved.
An engineer eventually came round but did not have permission to reroute the cable or to install an external cable point outside our property. He advised he had contacted someone in another team who would be in contact. None ever contacted us back.
On Thursday just gone I came home to find the neighbour had disconnected our broadband cable and removed it from his property (which I am advised he is legally allowed to do) which has now left me with no access. I contacted NTL who sent an engineer around the next day but as he was only someone who can fix cable boxes he again advised me he contacted the installation team and put it through as an urgent job and someone would be around that day or Saturday. No-one came on Friday or Saturday and I had taken 2 days of work. I called NTL again on Saturday evening and was told there was no record of any job but theey would book someone in for today Monday. My fiance today took the day off work but again no-one has contacted. I called NTL once more and was then told I should not be talking to Customer Services (even though I had been speaking to both Customer Services and Broadband Support team before) again has told me no job has been registered with the installation team.
What do I do? Customer Services initially told me it has been booked for this Thursday (another day off work) but I am at the end of my tether. I am still paying for this service and rely on it for work, banking etc and through no fault of my own have had the service taken awaywith no foreseable resolution.
I have just spoken again to Customer Services and everyone is denying responsibilty telling me it is the Installation Manager's responsibility to get back to me - which he has not yet for any of my requests (supposedly passed on by Customer Services or by the Cable Engineer who came) and they will not help me with anything else. I was told if there is no reply to just send in a letter of complaint. It seems they really don't want to just send someone to put a new point in which I assume takes about half an hour max? Is it because I am already a paying customer they feel it doesn't matter? Should I just cancel my direct debit and not pay until it is installed properly?
I am just going round in circles but unfortunately as I don't have a BT phoneline I am stuck with this NTL problem
If any one has any ideas or contacts please can you advise.
Many Thanks,
Gordon
