Broad band fault issue

[#1]

I had almost the same issues. When I finally did get connected the service provided has been dreadful. I have never had the guaranteed minimum line speed and the line drops out every day sometimes up to 5 times! I am truly sorry I signed up with service (or lack of ) provider as they are slow to react and seem unable or incapable of fixing this problem.

Welcome to the forum. Whilst Plusnet can be slow to react they can't always fix the problem. In the majority of cases they are reliant on other parts of the BT empire over which they have no control to effect the fix

Hopefully this will now be picked up by a Plusnet staffer and hopefully progressed.

Sorry to hear that @unhappy1234

Our tests are showing a line fault "Potential HR Joint detected on GEA service. Please continue to submit a trouble report" so I've reported this through to our suppliers now and we'll update you when we know more. Apologies for the inconvenience this is causing.

I have to disagree. After protracted discussions with Plusnet and testing on my part, an Openreach engineer was asked to visit my property - he arrived the day after!! He identified a problem, fixed and left. Physically there does not appear to be a problem yet the line continues to drop out and the line speed is below that guaranteed. This would suggest that the Plusnet infrastructure cannot cope.

Plusnet has not contacted me since the engineers visit as they promised and my online questions have not been answered. I  can only surmise that Plusnet is understaffed, overworked, undertrained and under-resourced. This is NOT my problem. If they cannot provide what they have promised they should admit it and give me a refund.

No one has suggested that anything is your responsibility, neither should it be assumed that the engineer who came out was right. You seem to assume that Plusnet are the villains regardless of evidence pointing towards a BT infrastructure problem.

I accept that there has been communications issues in the past but you will find that posts relating to problems such as this will receive a response from an experienced Plusnet staffer here.

Hi Gandalf

Hope you can help with ticket no. 183825183 if you can access the details.

I'm 80 years old and need broadband. It's been down over a week now. My son ran all the tests. I've tried calling and also reporting it online and online chat but no have had no explanation or update on what's being done to fix this.

Hope you can help.

Many thanks

Hi @mscot,

Please accept my apologies for the delay in resolving your broadband issue.

I have updated the fault ticket on your account with regards to booking an engineers visit as there is no signal between the router and exchange. You can reply to the ticket here.

Once you have replied to the ticket, please reply on here so we can pick it up as soon as possible for you.

Thank you.

Thank you Jubby. I’ve replied to the ticket on the website from the link in your message.
Hopefully an engineer can visit ASAP in one of the 3 slots I’ve suggested.
