Quote from: spraxyt How many open tickets do you have? If it's more than four I think the extras are not shown on the Member Centre list though they are still there and staff can see them.
Thanks Spraxyt, I guess that is it. If I close some irrelevant open tickets then it might appear?

The quickest way to get them closed would be to use online chat.

So despite the promise of a certain LT in customer service to keep in touch until resolution, and to sort out the billing that is all wrong, nothing heard from LT since Wednesday last week.
So we finally have a line and a basic broadband and caller display, no service for a month but great stuff we now have what we had before, not the better service we moved over to Plusnet for (Fibre), the same...
Not only that, but we are being billed for a standard broadband service now, not the £3.99 for six months Fibre, so Sir!!! now we are being billed £9.99 for standard unlimited broadband. Not the Free for 12 months Unlimited Broadband advertised currently on this site.....oh no - we are being billed for more than anything we agreed to, more than anything being offered to new customers and more than we paid with our other service provider. Excellent!
"Unlimited
Broadband and calls
18 month contract
Up to17Mb downloadspeed
+
Weekend calls
FREE for 12 months then
from £9.99 a month +£15.95 line rental
Start your orderShow details and upgrade call plan"
Finally got a response to the complaint raised 9 days ago, this morning in fact, and guess what, the lovely team in there are offering me for a month of hassle and being overbilled for a bog standard service?
2 months free broadband (which should be free for a year) and 2 months line rental (which I have already paid in advance) which they believe to be "fair and proportionate" ........
It gets better and better.

so if you raise a complaint, that takes longer than the promised 5 working days to respond, and you reply to that complaint with further comments, is that reply likely also to take 9 days to respond to?
If so, presumably the Signed For delivery direct to Andrew Baker at the BT Centre will be quicker? fingers crossed eh?

TownTwins has not got the service that was ordered (Fibre) and after a load of admin faffing about has been provided with ADSL after weeks of delay and at a higher price than been currently offered. I think if you were in their shoes you would be going on and on, I certainly would.
TownTwins, I would respond to your Complaint ticket telling them that what they propose is not acceptable. Ask for a deadlock letter if they can't come up with something more acceptable.

When everyone in the UK stop falling for these wheezes/gimmicks in any market and starts paying a fair price for a fair service the suppliers will stop these ludicrous offerings. But of course that also means people stopping being obsessed in getting the lowest price at any cost for any service/product.
The latest Plusnet offer seems to be free FTTC service for 6 months.

Right I'm off to see whether my plumber/gardener whoever will do some work for me for free.....

Quote from: x47c if someone offers you or indeed your business something ultra cheap then the service you are likely to get is likely to be pretty appalling and you are going to waste a huge amount of your valuable time in sorting it out.
If a business states that in return for a certain sum of money, they will provide certain services on certain dates then it should be possible to believe them. Plusnet know what work is involved in meeting the orders they accept and calculate a charge that makes sense to them. Plusnet are perfectly entitled to reduce the charges below cost if they believe that it will improve their overall marketing position but that does not entitle them to accept the order and then play fast and loose with it.
You appear to be suggesting that if I have a choice of two companies both of which state that they provide the same services and one charges twice what the other charges, I should choose the expensive one. There lies madness. Far better to insist that the cheaper company provides the services it promises and punish it severely when it does not with as much adverse publicity as possible. That way, it will either decide to deliver the services because it is possible to do it for the price or it will put the price up so that it can do it in the future. Your direction leads to huge prices and still does not provide the service promised as no company need keep to that promise.

and if they do, would you mind asking if they'll pay me £20 to come and do mine? - I know they'll enjoy it
Must be said i've never known broadband be so ridiculously cheap. Considering BT have not really made any real efforts to lower their wholesale prices and connection charges, it does really seem a bit too good to be true doesn't it.
That said, we've been with plusnet for many years and although we did get some hassles with them a while back, they've been very reliable for us over the last few years. I can't remember the last time i felt i needed to moan about them.

Hi TT,
You might well have justification for complaint, but there is never such justification for being rude towards those who offer help and comment here. Such rudeness discredits you, please have more respect for others around here.
In another browser tab, login into the Plusnet user portal BEFORE clicking the fault & ticket links

While I am all for good manners, moderation and turning the other cheek, your comment might be better aimed at the original posters of those comments rather than at TT who I feel has some justification for defending himself.
