I was quoted 72 hours to get this looked at. Now we're here on Monday morning, and Customer Services are fobbing me off with a 3-5 days estimate!
Where's the customer service gone PlusNet?

Welcome to the forum.
I suspect that the original 72 hours should have been three working days. Customer service can be a problem but you also have to bear in mind that all Plusnet can do is report the problem to other divisions in the BT empire. They can't fix it themselves so the estimated time to fix a fault is out of their hands.
The big problem is that Plusnet could be better at chasing up those who can fix faults and communicating progress with their customers.

If only I had any proof it had reached that stage. I think the ticket is still waiting for review by a PlusNet second-line team before being raised with BT.
Hell, they haven't even confirmed there is a problem yet, saying all the tests pass!

Is your phone line working? If so is it quiet?

I called the helpline again yesterday, trying to get some movement on my ticket.
The 3-5 day quote still stands, and I'm told this is for the Support Team to look at the ticket (not raise it with BT, just look at it).
I've been with PlusNet for 15 years, and rarely had to use Customer Technical Support, but I've witnessed a dramatic drop in the quality levels. I've stayed so long because of the good service, but if that's gone now, what's the point in staying loyal?

OK, so now I got a support team response and a BT engineer booking request.

BT Engineer visited and initially said that there was likely a bad card at the exchange. Then after getting a good connection at the green cabinet, said that it is likely the wiring between the green cabinet and my house.
Now what?

Connection restored. No news on the cause yet.

Yes, the connection has been restored, but I've gone from a 4.5 Mbps service to a 2.0 Mbps service.
BT have replaced a section of cable, but this has either caused additional signal dropout (poor/cheap connections?) or the underlying issue is not actually solved.
Please can you get them back on this?
