Internet down at 9am

Chorus ONT optical light gone red.

Emailed bigpipe at 9.30 am

No response as of yet, is that normal response from bigpipe?

Live chat? Although maybe not much good if you don't have internet access, and relying on expensive mobile data rates

Live chat dosent exist, its just some robot. 

 

I emailed them yesterday and had a response within 2 hours. They used to be quite active here and Twitter, but lately not so much.

Must be a coincidence, got a reply 5 mins after this post.

Looks like my line has been damaged.

I found response times got far worse over the time we were with them. This, and a lack of a call centre to actually talk to someone when needed (eg like you’re facing now), were the reasons for us leaving BP. Don’t regret the shift at all...

I emailed them a question on the 18th of May and never got a reply but I’m not surprised

Pretty sure you can tell the robot you want to talk to a human and they will actually put you through to one. At least that was how it was when I was with them last year...
