Or you could say "have you screamed into the darkest corner of your downstairs toilet?"
Has the same result as raising a ticket these days.
Come on now. I raised a ticket with Plusnet not that long ago for slow download speed. They took a couple of days to test the line, then decided it needed an engineer to call. I had to decline the first appointment offered simply because it was for the next day - some of us do work. True it did take OR a couple of goes to get the line back to how it should be but Plusnet were very quick reporting the problems back. I came away very satisfied with the result.
Now when did you last raise a ticket?
We can all knock ISP's, I see people reporting Zen as having problems. The simple fact of life is no ISP (or any other company for that matter) is 100% immune from problems, no matter how good they claim to be. If they claim it, take it with a pinch of salt.
I'd certainly agree though with the lack of updated service status reporting over Saturday / Sunday . OFCOM should make it mandatory for the true state of ALL ISP's to be displayed - maybe on a national website - with fines for non compliance. After all, when my electricity goes off I can find out very easily if they are already aware of the problem either by phoning (listen to a prerecord message) or going online. Saves staff answering non essential calls.
But saying that, as it is, I think I get a very good service for my money from Plusnet. Unlimited and just nudging over 70mb/s. DLM loves me lately...
What more do I want? Raise a ticket? It's already a piece of cake.
