Hearing impaired and I don't make calls as need Line moved to new address

I have been trying for days to get Plus.net to move my line to the new address but I don't make calls and I need it done fast and I will not be paying the bill for each day that goes by without the Internet as I am using my Mobile internet.  I will send Private Message with the old address and new address.  Get this sorted fast!!

I don’t think PN cater for those hard of hearing as several have highlighted this issue before but without any response.

Past systems of help seem to have gone.

Hope someone picks up the problem and sorts it for you.

This is very disappointing service, I would suggest logging on to the members centre and raising a complaint.

complaints code of practice 

Although not paying a bill can be seen as a tool to get stuff done, sometimes the consequences are not good..

Hi @Deafman196823. Thank you for your messages regarding your house move. The only way for us to process this is by contacting our Customer Options team. Someone else can do this for you as long as you are there to agree any terms and conditions applicable to the house move. This is the only way we can process this and as the account holder only you can make these changes. The Customer Options Team can be contacted on 0800 013 2632 and they are open Monday to Friday 8am-8pm, Saturday 9am-7pm and Sunday 9am-6pm.

That's a bit disingenuous @gleneagles - some people in the past wanted to make a point and not do anything to help themselves.

Here's a link for help to those with hearing issues

BadWolf24, what a disappointing response to the deaf gentleman, who is clearly trying to deal with his personal matters independently.  The disabled have a right to live an independent life, without having to rely on others if they do not wish to.  By refusing to take the gentleman's disability into consideration and forcing him to rely on others, Plusnet have failed to make reasonable adjustments and are, I would argue, in breach of the Equality Act 2010.  Put yourself into the gentleman's shoes and imagine how that must feel.

Re: Hearing impaired and I don't make calls as need Line moved to new address

Hi @Deafman196823,

 

I'm sorry that your refund was sent as a cheque. I've checked your account and the reason for this is unclear but I will pass on your feedback.

 

Sorry to hear that you're having problems with your connection. Testing your line hasn't picked up the cause of this from here:

However, I can see that something is definitely out of place as your upload speed is lower than we would expect. We'll need to do some troubleshooting to start ruling things out.

I'd recommend starting with basic checks here. If the basic checks don’t resolve the problem, the next step would be to connect your router directly to the test socket, which is under the face plate of your master socket, and seeing if the connection stabilises. This rules out internal wiring, face plates and extension sockets as being the cause. A guide on how to locate the test socket and set your connection into it can be found here.

 

If the problem still persists from here please report the fault here and let us know when you’ve completed it. We will then be able to investigate this further for you.
