Engineer said we get a call between 8 – 9 the next morning to arrange to get it replaced. My father phoned the call centre just after 10, having heard nothing. The call centre said they would chase it up. Another two hours pass & still no response. So he calls again, and the call centre offer to fix a date there and then. The earliest date they can offer us is 29th (which is not convenient for us) so we now have to wait until 4th May to get our phone service back. They’ve agreed to suspend the line rental charges, but we now have to contact all our relatives/friends etc, and tell them to use our mobile numbers. Major inconvenience !
Must be being done as a SRO (Special Request Order)... I guess the tech wouldn't have the tools or the time to do anything there and then to replace cables... SRO's do have a longer lead time.
