fault resolution times

My phone line has just gone dead and my internet reconnected very slowely, so I have raised a ticket, and got this information:

We'll be in touch when your answer is ready.

At the moment we're averaging a response time of 55 hours 7 minutes 25 seconds for new queries.

If our Support Team need to contact another department or 3rd party then we may take longer to respond.

55 hours! How can anybody think this is acceptable

They going downhills lately with very poor support even with two call centres in Leeds and Sheffield. They are lack of staffs there who still under training

To be honest, you'd do well to beat that over a weekend anyway and Sod's Law says that these things always happen on a Friday evening. I'd strongly advise you to phone to chase it, even if the wait times are long.

Have you tried plugging the phone into the TEST socket which is inside the master socket (if you have a NTE5) to see if it works/there is a dialing tone?

Sounds like there may be a problem with one of the 2 connection wires on phone line.
Broadband will still work on 1 wire only at reduced speed.
Can you as plusnet user use Phone line fault check on www.bt.com.

I don't seem to be able to use the BT fault checker

It's a standard BT faceplate.

I've tried with just a phone plugged into the ordinary socket, I'll take the face plate off and try the test socket in the morning.

If it does work OK from the TEST socket then it is up to me to replace the faceplate, or BT?

No, if it does work in the test socket, then the issue is with your extension wiring or attached equipment.

Still getting worse with regard to ticket answering. Still, if you pay peanuts ...

... Still, if you pay peanuts ...

... we get you telling us so .

What about the hundreds of thousands who are perfectly happy with what peanuts can buy?
