Plusnet - Compensation and Goodwill Payments

Options
Has anyone had any success in getting Compensation and Goodwill Payments out of Plusnet?

I made arrangements in June for a office phone and broadband move in August. All was confirmed but on the day nothing happened. It transpired that the order had been cancelled (by Plusnet) but I had not been informed. Lots of phone calls and complaints inc the CEO but it took over 2 weeks to get the phone transferred and a further week for the Broadband.

Plusnet are offering a payment for the Broadband but refuse any payment for the phone. Can they ?

    Their confirmation of my order states "the customer is aware that service may not be continuous"

    Plusnet have admitted that they are at fault and are not hiding behind T's & C's for the Broadband aspect - why is the phone service any different?

    Hi there,

    We'd normally refund for downtime on whichever service is impacted, this is intended as a goodwill gesture rather than compensation.
