I only joined Plusnet just the other month within this year and they have already increased my broadband and landline bill. I don't even use my landline to make calls the only reason why I have it is because I need a fast reliable broadband / wi-fi. Well that is not the case.
Average download speed. 24.5Mb - 62% slower, I'm 62% slower than average.
Average upload speed. 5.3Mb - 60% slower. I'm 60% slower than average.
OK Plusnet, you online chat does not work, and I can't phone customer service because I don't have a telephone in my landline socket. HOW are you going to fix this problem. How can you increase my fee and then give me such a poor broadband speed. On the TV, you advertise that Plusnet is the best, well I truly don't think so.
On Watch Dog this week, they spoke about broadband providers, and if you are not received the correct average download speed or upload speed, you can cancel your contract with no penalities.
PLUSNET, how are you going to fix this because I can't deal with my family fighting with me anymore.

Hi Ellen,
Thanks for getting in touch.
Looking at your line, you're not on fibre so I've asked the moderators to move this thread to the ADSL broadband board.
As you're on ADSL rather than Fibre, the estimates for your line are:
ADSL Products |
Downstream Line Rate(Mbps) |
Upstream Line Rate(Mbps) |
Downstream Range(Mbps) |
Availability Date |
Left in Jumper |
|||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
WBC ADSL 2+ | Up to 6 | -- | 4 to 8 | Available | -- | -- | -- | -- |
Unfortunately as your router currently appears to be off I cannot test your line, but the line profile is set at 10244, which is well above the top end of the estimates for the service you're on.
So whilst I do understand that you want faster speeds, it's simply not possible on ADSL broadband and we are providing a faster service than we estimated you during signup.
The good news is that Fibre to the cabinet is available to you and it should give you a little speed increase, this is a different product from us so does change your contract and pricing.
If you did switch to this you could expect between 22.4 and 32.4Mb/s download as per your estimates:
Featured Products |
Downstream Line Rate(Mbps) |
Upstream Line Rate(Mbps) |
Downstream Handback Threshold(Mbps) |
WBC FTTC Availability Date |
WBC SOGEA Availability Date |
WBC FTTC 18x2 Provide Availability |
WBC FTTC 18x2 Sim Availability |
Left in Jumper |
||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
High | Low | High | Low | |||||||
VDSL Range A (Clean) | 32.4 | 22.4 | 7.4 | 5.5 | 19.7 | Available | -- | Yes | Yes | -- |
If you're interested I'd advise giving our customer options team a call on 0800 013 2632 and they can discuss the best deals available for you.
On Watch Dog this week, they spoke about broadband providers, and if you are not received the correct average download speed or upload speed, you can cancel your contract with no penalities.
PLUSNET, how are you going to fix this because I can't deal with my family fighting with me anymore.
As above, the speeds you're currently getting are well above what we estimated you for the product you signed up for so there is nothing to fix I'm afraid.
