Starting on 15/10 I attempted to rejoin PN.
On that date it wouldn't let me create an order since "You already have an account use the portal to change". Now I haven't been a customer for over 2 years.
I contacted @Mook (with who I had been in contact with before) who very nicely sent a message to the admins to see if they could release my account.
On 16/10 I appeared to have worked. I was able to create an order. BUT I was not offered any activation dates or told my speeds.
I got several emails saying everything was progressing and a BLANK one (in Thunderbird, I later managed to view it online).
On the 18th I started getting automated tickets saying my phone line had been rejected then that it had no BB linked to it.
I left a couple of messages on this forum for staff to pick up, but they didn't.
On the 26th (10 days after placing the order) I gave up and phoned PN, waiting for 20 min in the queue.
After being passed to provisioning, it wad decided that my order was kaput! I would have to reorder and wait a further 2 weeks for activation.
Sod that I said, and cancelled the order immediately.
I then went to TT.
Ordered on 26th, got an activation date and speed estimate.
Yesterday I got a text saying that everything was fine and go live was still 9th.
Now it is sad to say but TT's CS and order system actually WORK as apposed to PN's.
