Plusnet still advertising 24/7 support!

I've just seen an advert on one of Plusnet's own web pages saying "with 24/7 UK based support"!

Hi jelv/spoon whittler,
Are you able to confirm where you saw this? I'll get it reported as priority, as the ads should be long gone.

well technically it's true though, just not for non-business customers ?

We still shouldn't be advertising it unless it clearly states it's for business accounts.

Are you using an ad blocker?
It does - see the attachment I've just added to my post.

It does if you disable adblocker
Edit - would have been a lot quicker if the forum hadn't sat there for ages saying connecting

That's definitely gotta go. Have raised this to the appropriate team.
Much appreciated, thanks.

Re: Plusnet still advertising 24/7 support!

Perhaps Plusnet should be offering a 'Bounty' (prize, not chocolate bar) for anyone finding such errors since it could save much embarrassment (or even costs if someone claimed they relied on the incorrect advert to make a decision regarding choice of ISP), any Plusnet mugs or other goodies* lying around at HQ?

* Maybe a few months free broadband since that's often the price new customers pay anyway.  Lips_are_sealed Grin
Oh, and maybe some cashback too (the cheque's in the post, honest).  Roll_eyes

or maybe they could just answer the phones, complete orders without cancelling them, and generally deal with support issues in a timely manner!!
that would be nice reward Cheesy
