Plusnet communication and service

Dear Plusnet team, 

it is very difficult to contact you. The chat never works, and wait times on the phone exceeds 30 min. 

Earlier this year, I was without internet for over 3 months (from March onwards) as you messed up my switch-over to Fibre broadband. After a painful customer service experience it was solved, but i never received the compensation I was promised. Also, I can't say that the internet is any faster than before. Please advise if you are willing to rectify this, or if you would rather see a customer leave you.

Many thanks,

Christina

Re: Plusnet communication and service

Hi @croseler

 

Sorry that you've had a poor experience. I've ran some checks on your line for you today, and I'm not seeing any issues on there with regards to speed. We are seeing a constant 40Mbps, and I have attached the full report below. Are you experiencing slow speeds with just wireless devices or wired devices as well?

 

With regards to your refund, I will raise a ticket on your account for you.

Re: Plusnet communication and service

Thank you for your response!

I notice the internet being slow when I watch TV (i use BBC iPlayer), with the image and sound quite often being out of sync. It's not the end of the world as the sound catches up when i pause on occasion.

Thank you for raising the ticket regarding the refund. I imagine the full service history will be visible on my account.

Kind regards,

Christina

Re: Plusnet communication and service

Hi @croseler,

Regarding the sound issue that you're experiencing, does this happen across multiple devices or just one?

Hi @croseler, thanks for the update.

 

Just to clarify (as I can't see that it's been broached yet) - Are you using a YouView box or are we talking about Apps directly installed on your Smart TV?

Re: Plusnet communication and service

Hi Oskar, I am using the BBC iPlayer app installed on my Smart TV. I tried to watch it last night but it kept cutting out when I was using WiFi, so i resorted to switching off WiFi to tether via my phone data which worked perfectly fine...

Re: Plusnet communication and service

Hi there, from reading into this it sounds like a bit of WiFi troubleshooting might help. Please take a look at the tips here: https://goo.gl/BBd2Tu in particular I would try changing the channel the router is broadcasting on as interference might be causing an issue.
