Poor and slow support.

okrz  that is a terrible experience you are having. Your contract is with pn not bt so its up to pn to sort things out. One of the posters here is sadly out of touch with consumer law.
Maybe if pn staff spent lees time here  http://www.ispreview.co.uk/talk
complaints/problems
and focused on pn forum problems things might happen quicker.
best wish to you okrz  by the way how how you got on the net?

Correct, which is what James is doing.

The team spend a very small amount of their time on ISPreview, I'd be surprised if it amounted to more than an hour or two a week.

@okrzynska
Apologies for not updating your phone number in our systems on Tuesday afternoon, I checked both numbers via our line checker and it wasn't showing the new number as active, hence I waited until the next day to update it. In hindsight I should have updated your ticket to say this, so sorry for that.
Hopefully James will get things sorted soon for you and you'll be back online.

Yes james is v good but why is he having to do dc jobs by himself?  and i have seen pn staff on other forums

[James]

Thisoldman,
The Digital Care team are responsible for a wide range of forums and digital media, in addition to other internal communication roles that they are responsible.
I picked up this case from a complaints management point of view (which I'm entitled to do so!).
Whilst yes, we are responsible for fixing faults for our customers, the main issue does appear to have been caused by his voice supplier, which caused an initial delay in our pgressing the fault to BT Wholesale.  Unfortunately we're not able to raise a fault with his phone supplier, because it isn't us, but I did check with a few people to see if there was anything glaringly obvious that had gone wrong.
You may note that this reply is longer than 5 words.

Have you any evidence of this to support your claim?

[thisoldman]

read the forums steve and pn staffs references to bt  simple as that mate

[magnetism2772]

i see the relationship like this
bt have bought plusnet
plusnet sell rents on bt products
plusnet are responsible to the customer and  not bt
plusnet trying to deal for customers wen they are responsible to their boss bt
bt are the winners all round

Nah not buying Into that, Knowledge Is power.

i have just foned bt and asked them if i changed my home fone number will it affect my bb and they said no way no way

[Oldjim]

Rather you than me - I wouldn't trust them as far as I can throw them.
Having said that - their present phone deal is very tempting

[magnetism2772]

they did a number change for me
it was hassle free and also free of charge , but  then again i was a bt customer

[magnetism2772]

but i did not have bb

[Steve]

You don't get any special care being with BT to any other supplier, Infact Plusnet Is far superior to BT, These forum's prove that alone. So It's not about BT or Plusnet really, It's about who works for them ;)

[magnetism2772]

well my phone and bb are working so 10/10  
and to the digital care team , and moderators and everyone else who have supported plusnet customers all over the year 
my personal thanks
Merry Christmas Plusnet
x regards
