I should have hesitated at the "cost" described in the above email...... however.
asked for a follow up 3 days ago "no reply"
I received a text from Plusnet today "22nd eleventh hour"stating that this was confirmed for the 24th but would take place between 9 am and 1 PM (before I get the Keys to the new house)
When I questioned this and asked what could be done, this was the reply and email (great customer service recieved) that I got in reply

Dear Mr bucknell,
This is to confirm, I have arranged for your account to be closed.
I understand that the cancellation was sent to you following a phone call with one of our managers in the Customer Options Team, where it was eventually agreed that you were going to cancel your account.
As it stands, I would still be happy to personally deal with your order based on the original deal, but as it stands your account is scheduled for cancellation.
Apologies for the confusion and I hope this clarifies.

It was a toss up between Virgin and BT who where falling over themselves to gain my custom. As a matter of interest BT (who own Plusnet) managed to offer a switch on date of 31/7/15, equipment posted and NO engineer needs to visit the property. Quite why Plusnet make you wait 2 weeks and need to send an engineer is beyond me ?
Regards.

The need for no engineer visit is likely to be down to ( a ) BT Retail are now using a combined VDSL modem/router or ( b ) BT Retail have some how identified that the premises already has had fibre and therefore requires no internal works. ( b ) would suggest that BT Retail have access to "insider" BT Wholesale or BT Openreach information not available to other ISPs.
