Re: Need set up urgently

Plusnet do not do business broadband. If you need the service for your business, look at alternative providers. Also, if the service goes down, there is a standard residential fix time. So if the broadband is vital to your business (sounds that it is) look for a business broadband provider.

@Markroberts176 as @mystreet1 says , if you order a residential broadband connection then you are subject to the normal provision and fix fix times. If that doesnt meet your needs then you should look at business providers.

From plus.net standard terms

2.1.3. use the services for personal use in the UK (so don't use the services to run your own business, but a couple of work emails or occasional home working are okay) and in accordance with our Acceptable Use Policy;

@Markroberts176  if your current broadband has gone down already is it because you cancelled the service, or is it delivered over another network? If not have you contacted your current supplier to see why it has gone down?

Re: Need set up urgently

If internet connectivity is so essential to your business, then (irrespective of who provides your fixed line services) it would be prudent for the business to invest in a MiFi type device / service for (at least emergency) fall back in circumstances where the primary service is not available.

The question remains: why has your existing service terminated before the new one has been commissioned?  Did you give your previous supplier a fixed end date, rather than leave the termination notice to the "gaining supplied lead" process?

Re: Need set up urgently

Hi @Markroberts176 

 

I am sorry to hear of the issues you have endured throughout the process of migrating your broadband. As previous individuals have alluded to in the community, we do not have the capacity to acclerate broadband activation dates even in extentuating circumstances like yours. We as a company only provide residential broadband and as such we are unable to offer fast turn around times in such scenarios. 

 

If your existing/previous supplier have cut you off prematurely then I would recommend engagiing with them with the view to raising a complaint if there has been an error on their part.

 

Should you have any further queries then please do not hesitate to reach out.

 

Thanks

 

Lee
