Re: Please re-open ticket

Hi,
I'm afraid that the can't reopen tickets, I imagine you might have accidentally hit the close button.
Can you please open a new ticket and reference the previous one.  I would say though that there doesn't appear to be anything further that we can do to help.

That's incredibly stupid. It can't be hard to add, surely?

Re: Please re-open ticket

Apparently it is because it has been like that since Plusnet started using the ticket system.... if it was easy they would have done it by now as this has been asked for many, many times.

Thanks James,
I guess I must have accidentally hit the close button -- It's much too easy to do, it would be good to have a "are you sure button"!
This ticket was my formal complaint regarding a long standing issue. I'll take this as reaching 'deadlock' which allows me to now go to OFCOM.

This has been requested before (or re-location of the 'close' button) to reduce the risk of accidentally closing tickets.  How about it Plusnet - is it that difficult to improve this simple thing for all your customers?

Re: Please re-open ticket

You don't need deadlock to speak with Ofcom.
You're also not in deadlock as you haven't requested a claim in order to go to ADR (CISAS).  I'd recommend that you open a new complaint and let us try and reach a mutually satisfactory outcome.  Without that, we won't supply a deadlock code.
Our oldest complaint is only 40 hours old at the moment (SLA is 7 days) so you wouldn't have to wait long.

Hi James,
In your previous post you said "I would say though that there doesn't appear to be anything further that we can do to help. "
That looks like deadlock to me, so why can't you issue a deadlock code?

Re: Please re-open ticket

Raising a claim with CISAS will have no bearing on a fault.
It's merely financial.

Re: Please re-open ticket

That is absolute BS, I have had a ticket reopened in the past. they just dont want too because it is bad for numbers, i.e. the stats are more important to them than any single customer.

Re: Please re-open ticket

I've been here nearly 8 years and have *never* known a ticket to be reopened. To do so would need someone to manually go into the database and do so, this is not a trivial thing to do and only a very very small number of people in the company have access to our databases.

Re: Please re-open ticket

It was a simple case of someone putting an internal request in. took about half a day.
Also I have worked with support desk software and general incident or ticket or record driven stuff for 16+ years you seem to be a unique case in that you simply dont want to reopen tickets so my feeling is it has been made this way by design so your stats stay nice on the outside.

Thanks James,
I'll not waste my time with CISAS then.
Do you have any other suggestions regarding who can help me to get Plusnet / BT to repair a recognised line fault?
OFCOM's web page says "We cannot handle individual complaints". So they're not much use either.
For information: the issue is a upstream speed of only 0.6 mbps on my fibre connection. This has been ongoing for over 6 months.

Npr,
Has it ever been better than that on a fibre connection or has it always been that low?

Re: Please re-open ticket

Hi James,
When fibre was first installed in February the upstream sync was between 1.2 and 1.6 mbps, the forecast upstream speed was 3.8 mbps.
This was investigated but I was told it was unlikely it could be improved. I accepted this until in April it dropped to 0.6mbps, where it's mostly been ever since.
After 6 months and numerous BT visits I'm now told that this is the best the line can do and BT will not try to improve this.
Note: AFAIK a speed of less than 25% of the forecast speed is recognised by BT as a fault.
To be blunt I'm more annoyed by the BS in the ticket than the actual issue. It's just degenerated into a series of poor excuses for BT and blatant contradictions. As a customer I find this insulting.
Note2:
Since BT stopped investigating this issue I've now bought a VDSL modem router to replace BT's modem. This has improved my upstream speed slightly, it's now around 1 mbps.
I mention this for completeness, it has not resolved my issue.
