Hi,
I am hoping someone can help. I have Fibre BB Large.
Last week the green internet and green broadband lights went out on my Huewai HG633 modem. I have obviously had no service since. (Third time this has happened in a year)
I was promised an engineer yesterday. He failed to show. (Despite this date being confirmed within the live online chat transcribe.) Spent half of yesterday afternoon arguing the toss.
Anyway cutting a long story short the bright Sparks engineer is rebooked for Wednesday.
As this is the third time in a year I have suffered the same outage it concerns me they are sending Bright Sparks guy rather than the BT Openreach Engineer.
On the other occasions I had loss of service the bright Sparks guy came out and confirmed the obvious (line fault) and was unable to fix it on the day.
About a week later the Openreach guy appears and fixes it in minutes.
My situation is complicated as I have had my voice box removed due to cancer. This means I cannot talk on the phone so must endure going through the live chat service.
The operators on there seem to have no criteria to understand what should be deemed a medical priority. In fact I have it in writing in chat history from the complaints guy (Marc Antony) that they cannot prioritise a medical case. When I challenged this he refused point blank to pass me on to a manger. Best I was offered was a manager would call me within five days despite telling Mr. Antony I had no voice box and thus cannot talk on the phone.
My points are should anyone in a vulnerable situation have to endure this painstaking slow process which will likely take two weeks of going through the motions of waiting for the bright Sparks guy then the enevitable escalation to BT Openreach.
And also ref my Huewai HG633 is this even the correct modem for fibre BB (Modem was not upgraded when I swapped from regular bb to high speed fibre)
I am sorry if this all sounds moany but feeling drained and exasperated after two full afternoons typing on live chat.
Thanks anticipation.
Scott
