Long phone and sms wait

After waiting 15 min I gave up. The AA answered in 1 min why can PlusNet support?

Re: Long phone and sms wait

Hi @zaaxuk I tried calling you but I couldn't get through or leave a voicemail. 

 

Can you please expand on your query and reason for contacting Plusnet so that we can support you further. 

 

Look forward to hearing from you soon

Re: Long phone and sms wait

does everything else work as expected? If you think there is a problem, try the auto-bot approach first:

 

First thing to check: Is your phoneline clear? Dial 17070 (preferably from a corded phone), select option 2. Once your phone number is confirmed, there should be silence on the line except for the regular 'Quiet Line Test' message - any other noise, report a PHONE problem via: https://www.plus.net/help/report-a-problem/phone/

If the phone test passes, report a broadband problem via: https://www.plus.net/help/report-a-problem/broadband/

Let us know the result - if the tests come back as clear but you still have a problem, we need to investigate further.

The above assumes you still have 'normal' landline connection - if you have a SOGEA (internet only) one the only option is to call Plusnet - 0330 123 9123

Youtube (an others on his TV) is buffering. When I try the autobot it just does MY plusnet connection which is pointless

Ah, so it is a TV issue, not a broadband one. While you are there, see what happens if you try YT on a laptop, if you have one.

Both. My laptop buffers, as does his new 56" TV, and his TV is connect directly to hub 1. My laptop does not buffer when it used my phone's 4g hot spot

@zaaxuk OK - I suggest you do as @Tina11192  suggests and PM your fathers account details to her, so she can test the connection.
