After being a Plusnet customer for a number of years I decided to move to You Fibre as their deal on 500mbps full fibre was the same price as what my Plusnet renewal for Fibre Unlimited was and also I couldn't get full fibre in my area from Plusnet so it was a no brainer. I contacted PN on the 22nd December to make them aware that I was going to move providers and wanted to give notice that when my contract came to an end on 11th January the service would cancel as by then I would be a You Fibre customer as that was getting installed on the 7th January which is was without any issue and that was when I no longer used the PN fibre. I know that the 14 days would have meant I'd ended up without Broadband for a couple of days before the new provider took over but that wasn't an issue. I recontacted PN on 4th January in relation to a query about the cancellation and I was told that from my call on the 22nd there were no notes on the account about the cancellation request so this was put through and I was informed that the account would now close on the 18th January. I have today received an email from PN saying that I'll soon be billed £47.54 which would leave my account around the 19th January so I contacted PN to find out what this was for and this is because the account closes after my usual next billing date however after 20 days or so I'd receive a final bill and would be refunded for the service that I don't use. This was a little bit frustrating especially as my initial cancellation request had gone in on the 22nd and that would have happened before my next billing period had it been processed when I asked it to be. All in all it is a frustrating experience getting the account cancelled and now having to pay another bill for a service I don't have and haven't used since the 7th January and now having to wait for that money to be refunded back to my account.

Unfortunately You Fibre are not using the Openreach network and therefore they do not contact the old supplier so I didn't have a choice but to inform them of the switch. This is outlined on their website that when leaving the customer needs to inform their old supplier to cancel the service.
