Hi,

 

A month ago I applied for gigabit fibre. Fibre had just been installed in the house and up and running on a 100/20 plan. Today should have been the day we switched over to the gigabit plan. I ran a speed test today and nothing had changed, we're still getting the 100/20 speeds.

 

I just got off the phone with 2 Degrees and I was told when I applied for the gigabit plan I instead chose the 100/20 plan that we're already on. I'm sure I didn't do this, I always double check when filling in forms like this. I'm not even sure it's possible to choose a plan you're already on...? I was told that when they saw the change request was for the same plan they then cancelled the order. Our account summary still says we have a pending change request however. I've been told they will remove the pending request message so I can then apply for the gigabit plan AGAIN. I will then have to wait another month for the plan to switch over.

 

Do I really have to wait another month? Did I really choose the 100/20 plan again? Any help here would be awesome.

 

 

 

Cheers

No way you should need to wait a month it's just a speed change! Should be done over night or max 2 business days

i believe a speed change is an SLA of 5 days. The LFC makes the change that the RSP requests

That's what I was thinking! I now have the option to change my plan as the pending request message is no longer there. And guess what?? There's no option to apply for the 100/20 plan that we're already on. I can't have chosen that option.

Try contacting Ralph from 2 Degrees (username: 2degreesCare) and see if he can assist you with this?

 

I've got nothing (and I mean absolutely nothing) good to say about the support people you reach by phone. I was misinformed by them, simply dismissed without any assistance and pretty much lied to.

After I posted on here, I received a reply from Ralph who did a great job getting a Chorus technician to my house and it has made a great deal of difference. 

Thanks to Ralph, 2 Degrees still has me as a customer.

Thanks Erik, I'll contact Ralph. I haven't had a problem with their support until now. Even the initial fibre installation went surprisingly smooth.

Hey Lemmi, thanks for the message, we've requested a bit more information from you so we can check it out.

 

Speed plan changes take place within 5 working days as it needs to be processed and actioned by the local fibre company, however billing kicks over at the end of the billing period with us.

 

Thanks,

 

Ralph ^JOB

Ralph has sorted this out for us. The changeover was pretty much instant and we're now getting great speeds. Thanks Ralph!
