The same engineer came to my property…

The same engineer came to my property about a year ago when I was trying to get connected to Sky internet. At that time, he told me that there was no telephone master socket at the property. Because of this, our household had to use 5G internet instead, which has been very unstable.
About 1–2 weeks ago, I decided to try again to get a normal broadband connection installed. Yesterday, the same engineer came to my property. At first, he again told me that there was no telephone master socket. However, it was later established that there actually is a master socket at the property, despite being told a year ago that there wasn't one.
The engineer then said he did not have the necessary tools and that he would return later that day or the following day to complete the installation. I contacted him afterwards and he said he would come the next day around midday. He never arrived and did not respond to my messages.
Nothing has been installed and I am still without the broadband service I ordered. I am extremely disappointed and concerned about this situation, especially because the same engineer told me a year ago that there was no master socket when there actually is one.

Hi Radoslav, thank you for contacting us via Trustpilot. I understand your concern that the same engineer attended your property both a year ago and again recently. On the first visit, you were advised that there was no telephone master socket at the property, which resulted in your household having to rely on an unstable 5G connection. Please reach out to your service provider who can help to get your service up and running. I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and frustration caused. ^Debangshi

Very happy customer

Broadband installed yesterday. Engineer was on time, professional, polite and friendly unlike many these days. Work was carried out extremely neatly. Well done BT, he’s an asset to your company.

The engineer

The engineer, Craig, arrived at the agreed time and he kept me informed as to what he was doing .

Prompt and polite service all through

It was a good experience because the person installing my fibre broadband had a time slot of 8am-1pm and he arrived at 8.05am! A very pleasant young man who explained what he had to do then continued with the job, explaining as he went, warning when it was going to be very noisy etc.

The engineer installed the fibre…

The engineer installed the fibre connection to my router, and I was told at the end that there’s a problem with the connection to activate. He told he’ll be coming back with a part to activate and never returned back and no communication was made to contact me back, no response to my calls

Hi Bharat, thank you for contacting us via Trustpilot. I sincerely apologize for the experience you've had. I understand that the engineer installed the fibre connection to your router but advised that there was an issue preventing activation and that he would return with the required part to complete the installation. Unfortunately, the engineer did not return as promised, no further communication was provided, and your attempts to make contact have gone unanswered. Please reach out to your service provider regarding this who can help to get the service activated. ^Debangshi
