BT broadband 'No Deal'

I duly signed up by clicking through from tnis site before the deadline of 12 mn thursday.
Got the Mastercard with £100 and £75 cashback. (it gets nearly all used up with one off charges)
Got my welcome email an reference number.

Then it stopped dead. Rang the helplines and it has gone to CONTINGENCY.
I had to give it a while then ring again..
Reassured my deal would be honoured.

Rang again. Told no deal.
Forget it. I need to start again when modem is installed.
No deals.

Where do I go from here. I still have my E Mail with ref number and no deals.
Any hotlines/contacts?
Cheers Andy

    Virgin Media? :)

    I had a problem with this deal, but it sounds like you got a lot further than I did. I made a formal complaint and have been waiting a week for BT to respond.

    You could try the same, large numbers of complaints might kick BT into some action.... Probably not, but might.

    Did you get a response from BT?
    I've been waiting for 3 weeks and heard nothing.
  • No still unable to sign up as Open Reach have not installed the neccesary equipment and notified BT.
    I will try again then
    Cheers Andy
  • The complaints dept at BT is slow. Your best bet is to tweet @BTCare. They will hate the public issues and get things sorted quickly.
