Re: View My Broadband Usage - not working once again

@plustrev firstly, I'm sorry that you're impacted by this issue I understand how frustrating it must be to not be able to monitor your usage.

Still not working and no response from Plusnet.

 

I think this is a little unfair, we absolutely are responding to this thread. It may not always be good news but we are responding.

Can we have some info about the problem from  Plusnet staff and hopefully a solution. 

 

 The problem has been resolved for the vast number of users, there are a very small number of customers still affected


 and we still have no ETA on when this will be fixed.

Thanks Jono H.

I posted my problem last Wednesday, you are the first Plusnet to respond following my second post.

That is why I said no response from Plusnet. So unfair?

We can't always reply with updates to forum posts as speedily as some may like I'm afraid. We do provide updates when available though.

Re: View My Broadband Usage - not working once again

As a footnote to my post last Thursday, I've just checked my usage history page again and it seems to be back working!

This is in spite of my being told that it had been discontinued!  I'm not complaining, the longer it stays working the better as this facility is essential to customers on the limited 10GB allowance.

Re: View My Broadband Usage - not working once again

I discovered this a few days ago and flagged it in a separate forum post as well as discussing with customer support.... Just rechecked and it's still AWOL for me.

 

It might not be essential if you're on an unlimited package but it is extremely useful when you have a house full of kids on their devices and you're trying to track what's what with usage, etc.

Re: View My Broadband Usage - not working once again

Apologies for any inconvenience this is causing, however I'm afraid there's no estimated date for this to be resolved.

 

Having said this, by any chance have you tried disconnecting/reconnecting your router, as this does sometimes resolve the issue temporarily.

Phew, I disconnected my router from the line for 15 minutes and 6 hours later my usage page worked, first time in 23 days.

Re: View My Broadband Usage - not working once again

I am on 10Gb limited broadband.  In April I used 10.14Gb and was charged £5.  I couldn't view my usage at that time.  In May I couldn't view my usage.  Suddenly in June I could see my usage all month.  This month my usage disappeared again.

 

How can it work and then not work?  It sounds like you've got 6 slots of usage available and when somebody complains when they get "sorry, there's nothing to show at the moment" you give one of the slots to them until you get six more then they get kicked out again!!!

 

What is going on here?  This is what Plusnet Chat said in April:

We have removed the functionality as it was causing issues with some customers who were on our fibre package


So how do we lesser mortals check our usage?

unfortunately the only way for you to do it until we can get a work around in place is to come on here and check it
 
Fault or deliberate?

Sorry to hear you're having problems

 

Can you try rebooting your router for me to see if that kicks it into action?


Cheers,

Have rebooted but it still isn't working I'm afraid.

Re: View My Broadband Usage - not working once again

I'll give it a bit of a kick from this side. Mind checking in about 4 hours?

 

Cheers

Re: View My Broadband Usage - not working once again

Yey!  It's working.  However, my month is up in two days time so I bet it will disappear again!  It still doesn't explain how it can go off and on.  Surely it either works or it doesn't. It is really essential for metered users to have this as all future Windows 10 major upgrades is likely to cost us a £5 penalty.

The agent could tell me exactly how much data I had used every day this month so why can't that information be made available for us.
