    @Plusnet Plusnet do not seem to be aware that the links for renewal offers they are giving to existing customers are not working on the Plusnet website. Well now they are aware!

  • garethdrake Gussatron (@garethdrake) reported

    @virginmedia Is someone coming back? Virgin took over the line so Plusnet have disconnected my normal service.

  • TheKrazyKrow TheKrazyKrow (#1 Black Sheep) (@TheKrazyKrow) reported

    @BreeonaW @Givized13 @Plusnet Bree wtf don't encourage him

  • zzoommplc Zzoomm (@zzoommplc) reported

    @RothmansYears @Plusnet Yes. Our work should not affect your current broadband service.

  • NorthNorfolkSet The North Norfolk Set (@NorthNorfolkSet) reported

    @Effiedeans @TalkTalk @Plusnet We asked Talk talk to install in one of our West London rentals and they messed us around something terrible eventually went to Vodafone.

  • joanneainsworth joanne ainsworth (@joanneainsworth) reported

    @Plusnet I filled in the response to this ticket regarding your dreadful customer service weeks ago and you have not responded. Please respond.

  • warrenha8 Harry (@warrenha8) reported

    @DeeManGuitar @Plusnet Cancel your direct debit with them and call trading standards for advice. Don't pay for something you hadn't agreed to. People need to stand up tonthese companies.

  • EarlHaig2 Earl_Haig (@EarlHaig2) reported

    @Effiedeans @TalkTalk @Plusnet I've switched from BT to Sky to Plusnet, never had any issues or gaps in service I assumed the *** from openreach just rocks up and moves the cable about at the exchange/box on change over day

  • ROTTERTRON Clive Cooper (@ROTTERTRON) reported

    @EmmaGB90 Never again for plusnet for me! I suffered a year of pain with them. Sometimes I only got 5mbps

  • JohnRot47169976 John Rothwell (@JohnRot47169976) reported

    @Plusnet OMG this is the worst ever broadband. Despite an engineers visit I keep getting drops in service as well as a crap speed. I love the way you have to call rather than email. Please cancel my contract. 01253 429407

  • GinaSumnerSR2 Gina Sumner (@GinaSumnerSR2) reported

    @Plusnet been trying to get through all day on phone- I've had an emergency and can't be at home tomorrow for engineer to install new broadband so need to reschedule- please can someone help me??

  • BeanZoomy Bean Zoomy 🎶 (@BeanZoomy) reported

    Actually no, @Plusnet, I just saw what you do on month 13. I won't be joining you at all. I saw free line rental ads everywhere, but it's not ongoingly free when reading the T&Cs. You're as bad as Virgin! No way will I be paying £36 per month for #broadband so shall keep looking

  • warrenha8 Harry (@warrenha8) reported

    @Plusnet what's the deal, the situation. This needs sorting, not really acceptable is it? Bit ridiculous really, my partner has very important course work to be done and she needs internet ASAP. We have paid for this service, we wpuld like the service asap.

  • KingsEleven11 TheKings11 (@KingsEleven11) reported

    @Effiedeans @TalkTalk @Plusnet It’s 2022 and there’s also places we can’t get a mobile signal

  • guitar_mystic MysticGuitarGuy (@guitar_mystic) reported

    @Plusnet That;'s really nice @Plusnet but can you tell me why your 'refund system' is broken? It's now 6 weeks since Plusnet suppose to refund what's owed to me. Raised complaints and spoken to 3 'advisors' with no sign of resolution. @MarcAllera maybe able to help. I'll try him instead.

  • ClareRefaie Clare Refaie (@ClareRefaie) reported

    @Plusnet I cannot get on my phone network this morning and cannot ring to tell you about it. My father also on Plusnet having same issues. My account is not showing any outstanding charges etc. can you help please

  • 1204Mrs Mrs B 1204 (@1204Mrs) reported

    @Plusnet why is there not an option online to cancel an account? Why is the only option to call? Any other query would be met with "manage your account online"

  • JohnPem1937 John Pembery (@JohnPem1937) reported

    @Plusnet my webmail is apparently not working properly

  • Sian_L_S Siân 🏳️‍🌈✊🏼❤️💜💚 (@Sian_L_S) reported

    @Plusnet I've spoken with yous a few times by phone since this. Today I've been updated that the fault resolution is now 15/12!!! Instead of the estimated date of 28/9. Am honestly horrified and it seems your team just can't/won't do anything.

  • SebVarden Seb Varden (@SebVarden) reported

    @458batty @Plusnet I'm not connected to PlusNet but they run on EE not o2 so that will be why. Only came across your tweet as I am searching for an answer about PlusNet mobile. Maybe you can help? do they do Wi-Fi calling?

  • 123db_GEEK Norm D Plum (@123db_GEEK) reported

    @Effiedeans @TalkTalk @Plusnet Had the same issue with bt and Vodafone. Except there was a month between off and on. They say it's a simple switch, so people assume that's true. But it isn't.

  • 458batty Stephen Batty (@458batty) reported

    I am holidaying in Wooler, Northumberland. My wife has GiffGaff and I have Plusnet. Both use O2's Network. She has a lower signal than me and gets service but I am 'denied' - taken from our relative Samsung mobile phone settings. WHY??? @Plusnet

  • danmuygallo The Moray Filth (@danmuygallo) reported

    @Effiedeans @TalkTalk @Plusnet I had 2 days cross over between bt and sky, so I had 2 days in which I was paying for both bt and sky. Bt wrote me to tell me that I was ending my contract early (1 day) and there was a penalty-£2! It's up to you how you want to do it, the stars never align perfectly.

  • BeanZoomy Bean Zoomy 🎶 (@BeanZoomy) reported

    And now my mobile phone is down. What ******** @virginmedia?! I have nothing. No broadband and no phone service. I'm not sure if this tweet will even get published... #VirginMedia is the worst company. I used to think they were the best! Hello, @Plusnet :)

  • 458batty Stephen Batty (@458batty) reported

    @SebVarden @Plusnet Hi Seb - no, they don't support wifi calling, you have to use an app like WhatsApp or Messenger. Thanks for info (duh, should have checked) still doesn’t explain why the stronger plusnet signal gets no service. Hopefully they'll reply.

  • CoweIsabel isabel (@CoweIsabel) reported

    @Effiedeans @TalkTalk @Plusnet I hsd this nonsense when my ee contract ended . The renewed contract became BT (who own EE) They needed to change to super fibre (or something) It took a month , with 2 working from home. We had a temp modem which could only connect from the loft . Dreadfuul service

  • Ofcom Ofcom (@Ofcom) reported

    More companies offer social tariffs since we started highlighting this issue – but we want further action: 🔴 TalkTalk, Shell Energy, EE, Plusnet & Vodafone to offer broadband social tariffs 🔴 Major mobile providers to offer them 🔴 More work to promote deals to customers

  • guitar_mystic MysticGuitarGuy (@guitar_mystic) reported

    @MarcAllera @EE That's really good news @MarcAllera but can you tell me why your 'refund system' is broken? It's now 6 weeks since Plusnet suppose to refund what's owed to me. Raised complaints and spoken to 3 'advisors' with no sign of resolution. Have a nice day.

  • andrewfq Andrew Q (@andrewfq) reported

    @Plusnet Hi - for those unable to use the phone, what methods can be used to service the 14 day notice period? I tried to find a way yesterday but was uncertain, please advise. For the avoidance of doubt, I am wanting to do this as you want me to renew on 18 months.
