Based on my own experience, and that of some others (EG Assigned a non-plusnet IP address) it does seem that once plusnet support have put a response to the ticket, it goes straight to the back of the queue, no matter how unhelpful that response was. This being the case, it means it can take weeks to achieve a resolution - forcing people to come here to the forums.
Surely it would be better for any ticket that has reached the top of the queue for it to stay there (if further comments are added by the account holder) until the issue is satisfactorily resolved. It might mean it takes longer for the initial response, but at least it would mean that (once picked up) the resolution would not be delayed by days for each misunderstanding, or incorrect suggestion from support.
I personally find that very frustrating - which is why I end up here to try to get issues fixed.

The main issue I can see with that is the decision on whether it's resolved or not. Even if the answer we provide is perfect, giving the exact reason for the issue and the fix, we'll still often get another reply from a customer on it. That may be because they don't like our answer, even if it's correct, they don't agree with us, or simply a completely different query appended to the same ticket to bypass creating a new ticket.

So what would you suggest - when your support person says "do x" where x has nothing at all to do with the problem, and your customer is left knowing that he now has to wait another 3 days, before anyone will even know the problem is not fixed.
The answer to your objection is easy. Allow support to close tickets only when they KNOW the problem is resolved satisfactorily (or at least to the best of PN's ability). Allow the customer to reopen if necessary - but it goes to the back of the queue. Have a complaints process for dealing with incorrectly closed tickets.

The ideal situation, and the one we're working to, is where support tickets are answered promptly and therefore it doesn't matter whether it's at the front or back of the queue.

Agreed - How long do you think, before you get there?

Phone response times are apparently coming down but ticket response times are still going in the wrong direction.
