A Samuels
I've been with Plusnet for a number of years and havent really had a problem with them. However, I decided to change supplier as we live in a village and only get about 1 MB. What complicates matters is that I want to get my internet from a company that provides a local wireless service offering about 13 MB but dont do telephone services. Therefore I'm having to go elsewhere for the phone and decided to use the Post Office based on price. I initially cancelled my services with Plusnet and was given a termination date of 6th June (today). However, when I spoke to the Post Office I was told that I should have called them first as they would normally cancel on my behalf so that there would only be a few hours between the cancellation of Plusnet's phone service and the Post Office's starting. Therefore I called Plusnet back the next day (31st May) and spoke to an adviser called Richard Byron. After explaining the situation I asked him to cancel the termination of the phone line and to terminate the broadband on 14th June. He assured me that this had been done and charged me £22 cancellation fee. Having done this I telephoned the Post Office again to put the order through again and expected everything to proceed normally. Yesterday I was shocked to be told by the Post Office that the termination with Plusnet was still due for 6th June and that the Post Office couldnt start the process of transferring my service until it ceased. This could mean that I am without a phone for up to 15 days and also might lose the phone number I have had for over 12 years. When I spoke to Plusnet they confirmed that Richard Byron had failed to cancel the termination for 6th June which meant that the termination for 14th June had been rejected. They were unable to do anything to help as BT Openreach need at least 48 hours notice to reverse a termination. They also have refused to offer any compensation for the fact that I am now going to be without both broadband and phone line for up to 15 days and will have to use my mobile phone data instead, which has poor reception where we live anyway. Both my wife and I work from home and this is extremely disruptive. Plusnet couldnt care less. I would strongly encourage everyone not to use Plusnet and any existing customers to consider transferring as their customer service is frankly appalling. The adverts are a complete and utter pack of lies!
