What is all this "Now you are away from them" � I am not till next week and I can't wait, though forum clever-cloggs always know better.


If that sort of response is typical when dealing with Openreach or your ISP, you will probably encounter problems all along the way. You seem to label anyone with an opposing point of view in such a way. Your choice.

In reply to a post by professor973:
I cannot believe those Plusnet muppets are still quoting £60 charge when the callout alone is £138 for a weekday and up to £206 on a weekend. You are looking at nearer £200 for a weekday callout and a little work.
What does it matter what OR and the blogosphere quote? Thr OP's Nan has no contract with them.

In fact, she has it in writing from her own supplier, PN, that the charge will be only £60 and then only if a internal fault is found.

PN are at liberty to charge what they like regardless of what their supplier charges them.

You don't learn, do you?

On the contrary, I learn very quickly. I post examples where I can, such as B.T. charges, Plusnet charges and copies of their statement that they pass on all charges. But, whenever a view or statement is backed up, fora pond-life then switch to personal attacks and insults � Something I learnt long ago!

IIRC we actually get charged £144 + VAT for this, we only pass on £60 from this to the customer (after we've manually vetted that the charge is correct). I don't see how this is a bad thing? We're saving the customer a substantial amount of money and in a lot of cases we dispute the charge and they don't pay anything.

I'm not sure what a small section of a bill shows? That's missing the broadband and call charge from the top.

As others have correctly pointed out

It does not matter what Openreach list on their pricelist, if Plusnet decide to only charge £60 it is down to them.
Any customer being advised of the charge like this, and being charged more, should pursue this vigorously.

For now until we see cases surfacing like that I suggest you simply sit back and wait.
