Hi Sarah,
Thank you for contacting us via Trustpilot. I’m very sorry that the engineer appeared rushed, focused only on the existing phone socket and left without providing the help or explanation you needed. I understand how frustrating and disappointing this must have been, particularly as his manner came across as rude. If you still need support or believe the installation is incomplete, please contact your service provider. They’ll be best placed to review the work and arrange further assistance if required. Please accept my sincere apologies for the engineer’s conduct, lack of support and poor experience caused. ^Abir

Hi there,
Thank you for contacting us via Trustpilot. I’m sorry that the engineer arrived in the afternoon despite you choosing a morning appointment and was unable to properly complete the work because they didn’t have the necessary tools. I understand how confusing and frustrating it must be to see lights on the equipment while remaining unsure whether your Wi-Fi is working, particularly as your phone appears to be using mobile data. I would humbly request you to please contact your service provider and explain that the installation was left incomplete. They’ll be best placed to check whether your broadband is active, help connect your phone to the Wi-Fi and arrange another engineer visit if required. Please accept my sincere apologies for the delayed arrival, incomplete installation and lack of clear guidance.^Abir

Our installer was helpful. We are 88 and 90.
He was cheerfull. He left with the phone working.
After 48 hours we contacted EE to get 2 computers working. Very helpful and patient. Our problem was with our 'old' fingers. Understood what we needed to do... but had a physical problem. All well finally
