Re: Fibre Install - Engineer Didn't Turn Up

I occasionally find the previous poster a little 'blunt'* (but rarely, if ever, without good justification), I wholeheartedly agree with the preceding post.  Missed appointments (certainly posted reports about them), lack of feedback from BTO/BTW and apparent poor management & communications within those organisations do seem to have got worse over the last few months, this really does need some positive intervention at the highest possible level (CEO?)!

Re: Fibre Install - Engineer Didn't Turn Up

Yes I can be a little 'blunt' when I continue to see some of the 'schoolboy errors' and identical repeat issues on this forum which don't appear to being given sufficient priority at the highest level. I used to be a bit more diplomatic, but frankly I'm getting to the point where I almost feel ashamed of being a Plusnet customer after telling all and sundry what a good ISP they are (and if it doesn't improve, that last word will change to 'were').

Re: Fibre Install - Engineer Didn't Turn Up

Bluntness serves a purpose at times, I think I'm sometimes too diplomatic (don't want to rock the boat and all that) but looking at other ISP forums I'm still glad to be a PN customer (doesn't mean there's no room for improvement and should NEVER be taken as an excuse for complacency on Plusnet's part).  If another ISP offers me a better service at a better price then I'm a consumer after all (but I would look into their customer support standards first).  For me Plusnet are good but that doesn't mean they shouldn't keep trying to be better.  [Sorry to wander OT]
Fact remains that engineer 'no shows' are one of the most frustrating things for any customer, the customer only has redress from Plusnet and Plusnet must, then, have a responsibility to act upon this with 'their supplier' and if the situation doesn't improve it must be escalated until it does improve (and reach a satisfactory level - from the customer's point of view).
Your 'valliant efforts', 'Anotherone' are appreciated by many, I'm absolutely sure, keep up the good work.  Smiley

Re: Fibre Install - Engineer Didn't Turn Up

Not again, feel so sorry for you, hope some one is going to pay for the inconvenience and lost time waiting in for all the visits
Think i would have been pulling my hair out after second attempt and given up let alone it happening for the forth time.
Very poor service, PN need to pick this up and get it sorted ASAP

Hi naib,
Thank you for your time on the phone, as I mentioned I have managed to arrange a fibre engineer to attend today, once he has been let me know how it has gone.
Apologies that this is the fifth attempt, I will investigate this, but as I mentioned my priority first is to get your install completed.

Re: Fibre Install - Engineer Didn't Turn Up

Hi,
At last, an engineer has just finished his work. Now I'm on Fibre Extra!! (after almost two months waiting for appointment(s) ). The download speed is around ~ 3000 kbps, upload is ~ 15000 kbps (I know I have to w8 10 days).
Thank you chrispurvey!!

Re: Fibre Install - Engineer Didn't Turn Up

It's probably your current line speed that needs lifting on this page: https://portal.plus.net/my.html?action=stable_rate
When you run a BT diagnostic speed test what does it say for the IP profile?

Edit: Alex has fixed that!

Hi naib,
I have updated your profile on our network to give you the full potential of your line.  Please power cycle your BT Openreach modem and Plusnet router to update your speed.

No sign of BT so far today. Any chance of it going to happen?
