Worst ever service

Just wanted to say that plusnet have really disappointed me! There customer service so far is awful!
I have been told several times that my broadband will be ready, then told it has only just been sent to suppliers, then 1 hour later told it would be ready today, guess what! Service notice saying there is a problem!!! No more info since.
If this is what it's like before even activating the service, what's the actual service going to be like?
Think I have made a big mistake joining plusnet

Re: Worst ever service

You're not migrating from Talk Talk or Sky by any chance are you? Wink
Someone from Digital Care will probably pick this up tomorrow.
I've moved it to Accounts and Billing to try to raise it's profile a little.

Re: Worst ever service

There is a possibility that Sky are stalling the migration for some reason.
Please give the Digital Care team a chance to resolve this....they are pretty good at it.

Re: Worst ever service

I've spoken with sky ( family member work for them) they have allowed migration and have been told this by plusnet!! To be honest I don't see why I should give them any more chances! I will be calling virgin and seeing how quickly they can get me up and running!

Re: Worst ever service

Hi there,
Sorry to hear about this, I've just called BT to find out what's going on and they've advised there's problems at the exchange. This means that are order details aren't entering the system correctly, hence the delay.
We've been told there's a review date of the 22nd (!) for this order which is completely unacceptable, I'll be calling again this afternoon after confirming what we can do to get this escalated and will post back with details as soon as I have them. I'm sorry that things have happened this way.

Re: Worst ever service

I seem to read from the reply above that it is a BT problem and not Plusnet, who also not happy with the BT response
and how did you loose your previous broadband, the change over of ISP's are normally seamless

Re: Worst ever service

Yes it could be a bt problem but if you had had the run around I have from plusnet you wouldn't take much notice of the above reply! I have been told so many different stories! After a while you start to wonder! But thanks for your input

Re: Worst ever service

Matt is a member of the Digital Care Team and not 'run of the mill CSA' (no disrespect to CSA) and has greater powers and knowledge to get things done.
If he or another of the DC team are on the case I'm confident it will be sorted sooner than later.

Re: Worst ever service

Hi there,
I'm sorry you feel you were given the runaround and I can see why given the different responses you received, however the responses were correct for the time of the query - unfortunately we can only go from the information we have at the time. I apologise for the confusion on ticket 40549900 though, and will continue to chase this for you as I stated earlier - as soon as we have any more information we'll let you know.

Re: Worst ever service

Matt, thanks for your help but after receiving several mails yesterday saying that my broadband is being processed and will be setup on the 18th, I've had enough! I have asked to cancel order and have sent a ticket! Even though I doubt they will take any notice of my request! Thanks once again
