What do you need to do?
• Provide a name and quote to be included in a press release
• Send through a head and shoulders shot of yourself
• Potentially offer your time to speak to journalists for 5-10 minutes over the phone to say you refer Plusnet services to your friends and family
If you’re interested please PM me (Chris) on the forums with a short paragraph about yourself, why you refer our services and how much discount you’re currently getting each month. Please provide your account username, daytime contact number and if we think you’re what we’re looking for, a member of our team will be in touch.
We'll reward any customer case studies we use for their time, more details on that will be given after you contact us.
We're aware that some customers are still awaiting refunds from a problem with the referrals calculations, we'll be continuing to investigate, work and resolve the remaining credits asap

I have been a referrer in the past but not for a few years now since I have limited confidence that Plusnet has the will or the wherewithal to resolve the back office and billing issues currently extant.
I hope you do get some volunteers Chris, but tread warily, the beast could turn and bite you.

Your last paragraph says it all!
It would perhaps be better to delay the Referrals Case Study until all the issues with the credits have been resolved. Had it not been for the issues with my referral credits, then I might have been interested in participating; as it is, I am extremely reluctant to partake at this juncture as my experiences would be totally negative.

I'm still waiting for a referrals discount from July 2013! I've raised tickets and have been told that the issue is 'resolved' on more than one occasion when clearly it's not.
On another occasion, a CS person wrote on a ticket that he had resolved my router issue when it had not been solved and didn't work, so I had to buy my own and gave up with PN support..
I'm also still being billed for a phone line feature I cancelled in March.
It seems that PN automatic billing systems don't work and PN CS staff are unable to do anything about it.
Like MauriceC, I was also a prolific referrer when I was a PN customer before BT took over. Since returning to PN I have only made one referral and have also lost confidence in being able to recommend PN to others because of the issues that PN is unable to sort out.
To say that PN is aware that there are still some issues with the referrals system - despite telling me more than once that the issue had been 'resolved' (more PN lies) - and saying we still need to wait. is just not good enough. Is 10 months still not long enough to sort out this problem? Perhaps someone in BT could come in and simply look at the affected accounts and add the relevant credits manually since PN seems unable to do this with an automated system - and clearly no one in PN has the authority to credit a handful of pounds to someone's account. I can't understand why PN thinks it's better business to stuff your existing customers and spend millions on TV advertising to get new customers to replace all those it has pi**ed off!
Perhaps Chris would like to put things right for all us disgruntled customers who have not been referring any new customers once it became clear how badly existing customers are treated. If I was a new customer I'm sure PN would be trying to give me a free router and virtually free internet, but once you've been with PN more than a year, tough!
However, Chris, I would be more than happy to chat with a journalist to tell them why I don't refer PN services to family and friends. I'll also be more than happy to to tell the journalist how much I have received in referrals - and how much I was promised and have not received after TEN months!

Quote from: Linn If you would like to take part in the case study then please contact Chris.
I think that you may have difficulty finding volunteers until ALL of the back office problems are finally resolved, or at least a visible timeline for fixes.
Remember an old definition of a Volunteer. "A person who didn't fully understand the question"
