Rapidly loosing faith in plusnet

Despite numerous calls to plusnet and being on hold for more that 20 minutes only to be told "I'll just put you through to technical" which then means on hold for even longer.
It's pathetic!
Speeds used to be around 35mb download 9mb upload.
As I speak the download is 18mb but the upload is 0.16!!!! Is an absolute joke! It's been like this for over a month.
At least for the moment it actually works and as a bonus the phone is working.... For the time being that is.
My equipment is not at fault and apparently there is no line fault, despite all the noise that can be heard on the phone.
I did get to the stage of booking an engineer visit but as I work full time and there was no weekend option I was told that if the engineer visits while I'm not in I'll be charged £65 for the pleasure!
So, basically I've been paying plusnet for a service I'm not receiving, therefore, my direct debit will be cancelled if this matter isn't resolved in one week.

Re: Rapidly loosing faith in plusnet

If you have noise on your phone line you are not going to get decent broadband performance until this is fixed.

Before worrying too much about download speed you should plug a wired telephone into the Test Socket, that's the one behind the faceplate on the master socket. Then perform a quiet line test by dialling 17070 and then selecting option 2. You may find the following helpful, be if from Zen rather than Plusnet: https://support.zen.co.uk/kb/Knowledgebase/Performing-a-Quiet-Line-Test?Keywords=fault. If there is noise present report a PHONE fault, not broadband fault to Plusnet.

@Bluejay5

The above seems to indicate there is a phone problem as well (added bold for reference).

Re: Rapidly loosing faith in plusnet

Hi there.

I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing problems with your services.

 

If your line is noisy and we're unable to detect a problem via a line test, we'd need to arrange an engineer visit I'm afraid.

With regards to the possible engineer charge, ideally we wouldn't want an appointment becoming chargeable so we'd arrange the appointment for a time that someone will be in. Apologies that we can't offer a timeslot over a weekend.

From 31st October 2022, I no longer have a regular presence here as I’ve moved on to a new role.

Give me a break! Like you I am only a customer of Plusnet. If you look at my earlier post I advised the OP should report a phone fault.
