Another derisory compensation offer

[#1]

So after 21 days of no internet I've just been offered a mere £10 compensation.

I realise Plusnet aren't yet signed up to the automatic compensation scheme (in which I would be recieving £160)  but as they have committed to joining it I felt the compensation offer would and should be closer to the new scheme

To say I'm unhappy is a huge understatement, the only thing in my favour is that my 12 month contract has just finished so I'm free to look at other offers, in fact I've just been advised to do so by a Plusnet member of staff.

I guess that this is part of the deal when choosing a budget broadband provider. Compensation for the unlucky ones with faults will result in higher prices for everyone. Whether to choose an ISP that offers compensation is up to the individual.

But that's just the point, I chose Plusnet (£1 less than the BT offering at the time I signed up) to get a decent service, rather than choosing a budget provider.

If Plusnet are now classed as bottom scrapers I've obviously miss understood their standing

Hi @BobH

Thanks for getting in touch.

Having reviewed your account, I can see that one of my colleagues has raised a ticket for you here which details the downtime refund and gestures of goodwill which have been offered - these are both fair and, with respect, equate to more than the £10 you've stated in your original post.

Please let us know if you'd like to accept the resolution which has been offered - I feel it is fair and proportionate to the downtime you've experienced.

Best wishes

Dave
