Pfffttttt what??? Not being funny, but i'm on the blummin phone all day at work. Why ohh why Plusnet would you want to make me be on the phone again (quite possibly for a very long time) just to tell you that the power button on my Technicolor router won't stay in?? Due to the design a lacky band is not that functional without a bit of sellotape to help it out keeping the button in. It's only just barely hanging in there keeping me going. And i don't know if the router has got an allergic reaction to latex but it's not performing like it used to. It seems to be constantly resetting. I click a link to load a page and get a *webpage not available* (or something like that..i've slept since yesterday) and then in the next breath (or a couple of retry clicks *plink* the page is there and loaded. The router is also kicking up a stink letting my upstairs computer use it. I have the wifi... it shows i'm connected...but when i open up my browser *Connecting...resolving host* and nope! I have to go and unplug the router for a minute or so, start it back up and then it lets me load as normal. Never ever had problems with it before and nothing has changed.
Oh, and it does NOT like letting me log into the router. I get the *Server is available but not responding* and it's apparently not accepting any connections on port 80. And nothing to do with my firewall.
So please....do i really have to stay on the phone waiting to get through for god knows how long....to relay the above??? Is there not a link you can click to request a new router etc due to becoming faulty & kerknackered?

Tickets are not encouarged any more though they do still exist within PN's system so you can follow progress with faults and add details ! PN say they achieve superior customer satisfaction by using the Chat and phone methods for reporting, but you can't riase one in the way you may have been used to. You now have to follow the approriate troubleshooter.
However to save you some time trying to get in touch with support via Chat or phone & futile looking for the way to raise a ticket and so forth, consider this:
If your router is more than a year old PN are under no obligation to to replace it if it develops a fault: They might but it my experience it will be a hassle. If you agree to take out a new contract and upgarde they may supply a new router. But the PN routers are not fantastic and to save yourself time and grief why not buy one from the high street or on line? A well known auction site should have plenty of suitable models for sale.
Which model router do you have? If you need more advice then post back here .

I've been with PN since Oct 2013 and this is the first time i've had to pop on the site in years. Only ever had to submit a ticket once before so i'm a bit peeved to find that now you have to phone. Being at work all day which involves being on the phone a lot, the last thing anybody wants to do is get home and get on the phone again. Plus the irony that it's an internet provider for people to use the internet for their needs...and you have to PHONE them ::). Out of curiosity is the customer support UK based or outsourced abroad?
Thanks for the tip about the hassle and no obligation to replace it gpsmout. I used to be with Be* before i hopped over to PN and i'm sure i've still got the Technicolour router from them tucked away somewhere, but think i may have a look at what nice new spanky ones there are. The only thing that bothers me about using a different router is sorting the settings for it. I'll admit, since PN's router was all nicely set up ready to plug in and go, i've got pretty rusty with setting up routers since the days back at Be*. A girl's got better things to do like online shopping lol
Sooo...as PN's router was all set up already. I've noted down the primary and secondary DNS servers info they gave in my account section. Can you remind me of where to get and what else i will need to set up a new router please gpsmout? I need to iron out a few brain wrinkles here.

If you visit https://www.plus.net/home-broadband/contact/ and choose what your issue is about, it'll give you the option of Live Chat. It's worth noting that if you use an ad-blocker it may stop live chat working, so you'll need to add an exception.

The old ticket system in my experience was far superior. I do think it's setup was it's downfall though in that in adding to a ticket it sent it to the back of the queue and probably created to many customers being frustrated with response times.

I think i've got everything i need noted down for set up and found some useful set up steps to help avoid hiccups.
2 people have mentioned now about when my contract is up for renewal. I've never heard anything about renewing my contract? I just joined and have been merrily surfing away ever since and paying my dues every month as you do.
Touch wood i've not had any reason to look elsewhere. (really shouldn't open mouth too soon...bite & arse )

Mobile message and email and online all give complete run-round that doesn't allow any actually communication. It's now either phone, long wait, or its webchat again long wait. NOT good service, though I did get through to help on the phone who also didn't know their was no longer a ticket system.
