Neil at OrangeProblems.co.uk (formerly WanadooProblems.co.uk) got his broadband reconnected when he wrote to the Internet Services Providers’ Association, UK (ISPA) for help. As I mentioned earlier today, I also did the same last night but had little hope of receiving a reply because I hadn’t followed the proper procedure and submitted an online form complete with a reference number issued by Wanadoo/Orange as well as nitpicky requirements.

To my surprise, less than 24 hours after emailing the ISPA (not quite as quick as Neil’s 3 hour wait), I received a personal reply!

Dear Mr Lei,

Thank you for your email. As Wanadoo are members of ISPA, I have forwarded your complaint on to our contact at the company as set out in the ISPA Code of Practice.

Someone from Wanadoo will contact you within five working days in response to your complaint.

Most of the complaints we receive are resolved satisfactorily in this manner, however if you remain unsatisfied, please contact me again.

Could the end possibly be near? After receiving his email from ISPA, Neil received another email from Wanadoo/Orange who then called him to let him know they would be following-up. So he got results within a day or so of complaining to the ISPA. Please please please cross your fingers for me!

Two months and four days since I lost Wanadoo Wireless & Talk broadband.

Update: Thank you to Deb and Tris for championing my cause.
