Begad I am glad I decided NOT to use PN for my phone line. BT mucked up at the start, paying by DD being charged for not, but I was sorted out and refunded. At my "renewal" of the free eve & w/e they "forgot" to inform me that I was at the end of the 12 months and started a further 12 month contract without asking, then offered my a free get out if I wanted it, but as the standard options I get FREE CID & eve & w/e calls are dearer elsewhere I staid with them.
Touch Wood, so far my BB invoices have been correct and since I have no referrals I pay the standard TOP price (L2 exchange on unlimited)

I moved my phone to Plusnet because I had an intermittent line fault and it worked - when I reported it they bounced it between departments and fixed it - imagine trying to do that with BT retail on one side and Plusnet on the other

VileReynard · ‎01-09-2007

But the only people who can fix line faults are Openreach.

Oldjim · ‎15-06-2007

I know that but I had the fault before I switched and got absolutely nowhere in getting it fixed with BT retail on one side and Plusnet on the other and not getting it sorted.
Once both voice and broadband were with Plusnet the voice and broadband faults sections actually talked to each other and eventually got Openreach to fix it.

I understand.

Re my question number 29615417
I was being charged £12.91 for my heritage home phone 240 and was querying the cost of the features as the Web site kept on changing.
Call Features: £1.96
Line Rental: £10.95
TOTAL: £12.91

At 02.32 this morning an agent decided that I was on the wrong product and should be changed to a new product cost
Call Features: £0.00
Line Rental: £10.95
Call Plan: £5.00
TOTAL: £15.95
Phone 0845 and got a nice Lady in Durban who hadnt a clue said the product I was on didnt exist

Sounds like some people are blatantly doing what the heck they want, or what they perceive what the customer wants, and still making a total balls up of it. I don't know what the heck is going on, but they need a touch of re-education.

and in the Lack Of Comms Coverage a Week end Rio has been trying to sort it for me, but cant do it, he hopes Comms (Mand) can tomorrow

bobpullen · ‎04-04-2007

I've just taken a quick look Pierre but it's not something I can do anything with over the VPN I'm afraid, we'll have to pick it up tomorrow when we've people in the office. TBH I think it's going to need a developer to fiddle around with some of the back-end database entries.

Who's going to Kick who?, Rio is on the late shift, but I think he has left a message for Mand, he said he will send me a text, as I am on the road tomorrow

orbrey · ‎18-07-2007

Hi Pierre,
I'm looking at this for you now. Sorry for the hassle.
