Warning to others!

phillexus — Sat, 09 Mar 2013 12:39:32 GMT

That’s it, I have officially had enough of this sub-standard service having lost the mornings work waiting for an engineer, and now being told that Plusnet have no way of contacting their engineer to find out why they have not turned up as promised. You would think they could be able to contact a telecoms engineer by phone wouldn’t you.
So to summarise, best speed on Fibre is 13meg, not the 66meg promised and charged for. Slower than ADSL!
3 weeks wasted getting this far.
Stayed in for 2 engineer visits, and now a 3rd visit and the engineer hasn’t even shown up or phoned.
Only option is to cancel the service, and being told by Plusnet that I am in contract so can’t. Well guess what, Plusnet are under contract to supply what I am paying for, and haven’t managed to do that either.
My best option is to cancel the DDM and let Plusnet take action for the cancellation.
It is all such a mess and such a shame.

When you saying best speed is 13Mb - I take it you've run all the tests via a wired connection?

What is your line profile set at ? You can use the btwholesale speed test and then click on further tests to check.

Hi Phillexus,
I have just checked over your account and I can see the current line speed on our system was set low.
I have now increased this for you to what it should be, really sorry this wasn't done earlier.
Can you please run a speedtest and see what you are achieving now?

Wish I had read all the negative comments before I signed up.
Mt new istall is not working and no contact email or phone from Plusnet.

Disgrace
I guess regardless of "contract" any sign up is subject to the distance selling regulations
Consumer Protection (Distance Selling) Regulations 2000,

@andyindundee
You've had a reply from Plusnet and on your thread http://community.plus.net/forum/index.php/topic,112879.0.html
Plusnet cannot affect the wires between you and the exchange, you must have had the fault, even if you were unaware of it, before you moved to Plusnet

@BabaOsw
You cannot blame Plusnet for exceeding your usage allowance or not limiting your spend at the Member centre.You have been advised as to the sort of usage HD streaming can use. There is also plenty of information on this sort of thing and plenty else in the Help and Support section of the website if you chose to read it. You've also been advised to change to the unlimited product as this would be cheaper for you than paying for extra usage.

@andyindundee,
Due to the nature of forums and the fact that they are an open channel for support and feedback (be it good or bad) unfortunately most people are far more likely to hightlight complaints. However do let me know if you do encounter any issues and I'll be happy to help out.
