Strange Plusnet Text Message.

Just got a text message saying
[quote="Plusnet"]Your Broadband order has successfully completed. if you want any more information go to ............
is this related to the speed issues and network upgrade? as I haven't ordered anything or done any up/down grades.

Re: Strange Plusnet Text Message.

Don't worry this is due to the network upgrades we're in the process of making at present.

Re: Strange Plusnet Text Message.

I'd be interested in seeing the output from
tracert ntp.plus.net

now you are on the new network.

Presumably this is a cock-up and that message should not have gone out?

Re: Strange Plusnet Text Message.

Can we tell from a tracert if we are on the new network?
If so, how?
Thanks.

Re: Strange Plusnet Text Message.

I've had 6 of these messages now, three on Monday, and three Today.
Just tried phoning up but it's a 30 minute wait!  Sad

Avatastic - I do not think that word means what you think it means
I've had 3 messages today too, are we pitiful end users going to see any benefit to the new network or is it a behind the scenes upgrade?

Re: Strange Plusnet Text Message.

When did today's messages get sent? I was under the impression a fix for the duplicates was rolled today.

Mysterious texts re broadband account

Can anyone shed any light on this problem. I have tried to ring but apparently the wait time is 45 minutes!!
This afternoon, out of the blue, I have had 3 texts saying "Your broadband order has successfully completed. If you want to know more information go to help.plusnet.
On logging on to my account, I have, apparently, an "open" question raised at 8.52 am saying "INTERNAL: This customer has migrated to another provider"
I haven't asked for any such thing and I am still getting these random texts and am worried my phone & broadband is suddenly going to go down!  Embarrassed
Any help would be appreciated.

Re: Strange Plusnet Text Message.

Fix for duplicates?
If the user is not changing accounts and does not have to make any changes to their logon details etc. it shouldn't send any messages. All sending messages will do is cause worried users to try to contact Plusnet.
<sarcasm>We all know CSC staff are sat around idly for much of the day waiting for calls to come in as they are so over-resourced therefore extra calls is not going to be an issue</sarcasm>

I've had these messages at 12.55, 16.25, 17.15, 19.00 and 20.25. My account has a support ticket (that I didn't initiate) saying "INTERNAL: This customer has migrated to another provider." I'm assuming this is mistaken and nothing to worry about, but if there's been an internal fix for duplicate texts it doesn't seem to have worked for me.

Re: Strange Plusnet Text Message.

Thanks for the clarification. I'll look into it tomorrow.
@jelv, two separate problems, both of which are being looked into.
