Hi there,

 

 

 

Before I start this post, I'll mention how thus far I've been more than happy with BigPipe's email customer service-- only resorting to posting here as I'm at my wits end regarding what I hoped would be a simple connection.

 

 

 

I ordered an ADSL connection with BigPipe a couple of weeks back, and got the "Chorus have confirmed you're connected" email about 2 weeks ago.

 

 

 

Upon moving into my new property, it's become pretty clear that no DSL is being supplied to the property.

 

 

 

A fault was lodged with Chorus, who spent a few days trying to work out what was wrong-- they settled on BigPipe having supplied them with "incorrect tracing information", meaning that they therefore couldn't work out which cabinet I should be connected to, and that it was now BigPipe's responsibility to re-lodge the fault, with the correct tracing information supplied.

 

 

 

I've forwarded this information to BigPipe but I'm yet to hear back, and Chorus have said that I should get back in touch with them if nothing eventuates...

 

 

 

My main questions are:

 

- Who is responsible for getting me connected if this is the problem-- Chorus or BigPipe?

 

- Does 'incorrect tracing information' mean that nobody can work out where I actually live? (Despite the house being on one of the main corners of the Christchurch central city...)

 

- What should I be asking/telling Chorus & BigPipe customer support? 

 

 

 

Thanks in advance, and please let me know if there's any further information I can provide that might be useful.

 

 

 

Simon

This looks, in my considered opinion, to be a snafu. 

 

I haven't seen this particular situation before, but I'm sure we can suss it. Flick me the email addy you use for Bigpipe in a PM and we'll look up what's happened here. We'll update you first via email and then we can look at chucking an update here once we've got a resolution.

Update: All sorted. Chorus needed to trace the line back from the property to work out how to connect us, & the process was made a little tricky by some conflicting information from Chorus's end.

 

 

 

However!

 

 

 

Bigpipe's customer service was excellent: really prompt email responses, really good updates regarding their communication with Chorus, and they were happy to give me a call when things were a bit easier to discuss over the phone.

 

 

 

Chorus's tech that ended up coming to the property was also excellent.

 

 

 

Thanks to the guys that replied to this thread & apologies for not replying earlier, Christmas etc etc.

Thread resurrection!

Good to hear this all went well - was a bit worried when I didn't get a PM. 

I'll pass on the feedback on the customer service. Really stoked it all went well for you.
