Gobsmacked to find that the package change I put through is going to take 1 month to effect.
How come? Willing to pay any difference to make the change immediately, but no option given. I mean it's 2017 not 1987. How difficult can it be to put through a customers request within a few days at most?
Is this normal practice or have I just been caught out because on bill day?

All it requires is a further payment of £8 from me this month. Changing from a regular phone package to an international one.
I'll give them a call/chat session tomorrow with the hope they'll be able to sort it out.

I'm afraid account changes do happen on the billing date, to try and force these through earlier is not something we do as it has knock-on effects on future billing so isn't something we do. Apologies for that.

I appreciate your answer @Chris but I think that's really poor decision from Plusnet.
I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be too difficult to do, having the experience of working for an competitor ISP who was able to make immediate account changes and adjust billing accordingly.
Whatever happened to giving the customer what they want!
