Plusnet Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • ColeInDorset Richard Cole (@ColeInDorset) reported

    @MoneySavingExp I used Plusnet 'SIM only' for a while, but terrible in-house reception and no 'connect using WiFi' availability, so now have a £5pm 'SIM only' from Three that does support WiFi connection. Works well.

  • MCKENZIEPICS Allan McKenzie (@MCKENZIEPICS) reported

    @Plusnet @lizcooperclark 'Plusnet emails can be accessed using an email client as normal.' No they can't. Email clients using IMAP & POP3 are still getting authentication errors. DM me for an example.

  • kellylizzy81 Kelly Hughes (@kellylizzy81) reported

    @Plusnet I checked the coverage checker before signing up to EE which said coverage would be great. Unfortunately I am having issues with very little or no signal at home (where I previously have had excellent signal with other providers). Is there a problem in the CH6 postcode?

  • MrMohtas Tom Sturge (@MrMohtas) reported

    @virginmedia Too slow, gone with @Plusnet instead

  • jdmc_alli1 JohnDaleMcAllister (@jdmc_alli1) reported

    @_JamieMcIntyre @Plusnet Plusnet email down since Tuesday!!!!!!!!!

  • Baron_de_Plants Jeremy Spon (@Baron_de_Plants) reported

    @JohnLewisRetail Why is John Lewis allowing Plusnet to market their services under the name John Lewis Broadband when email is broken and customer service useless?

  • JamieW345 Jamie Warren (@JamieW345) reported

    @Plusnet Internet speeds are terrible despite your attempt at fixing yesterday

  • IanIgrieve Ian Grieve. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@IanIgrieve) reported

    @micheloola @StalkerMaw @wgsaraband There could be a number of reasons as to why you never got service. Openreach do not cancel orders. Whatever the problem was I can assure you Plusnet would have been informed. May I suggest you contact Ofcom regarding. All the best, Ian

  • KevRJones Kevin Jones (@KevRJones) reported

    @Plusnet I see email is back down again this morning. Could download but not send yesterday, today can't even download!!! Getting a joke now. Please don't reply with 'most people can now access email' as clearly its a much bigger problem.

  • moray_nicol Khun Krub (@moray_nicol) reported

    @MoragSievwright @Plusnet Open "CMD" on your computer and type on the wee black screen ipconfig/all If you don't have an IPV4 address then the connection from your provider is down.

  • JoshCorley14 Josh (@JoshCorley14) reported

    @Plusnet Hello, this still has not been resolved. When our service was down for 5 days we were told we would get £8 off per day. I was then charged for an extra month, and only got a £5 refund? How has this still not been sorted properly. Absolute joke.

  • paul_at_hexham Paul Berry (@paul_at_hexham) reported

    @Plusnet @drc1947 With respect, this is untrue, please stop saying this. Plusnet email cannot be accessed using a client. We are now into day 5 of this outage (please admit that it started late on the 9th), and all we hear is this repeated, formulaic non-truth.

  • skyhookfiddler Martin Harwood (@skyhookfiddler) reported

    @Plusnet My Mother in Law's email (old John Lewis acc) not working. Worked briefly this am but can't even log on now. Really poor. I presume you'll be refunding!?

  • TheHairyGSL Rod Glen 💙 (@TheHairyGSL) reported

    @johnlewishelp @VivRivis Not working again. Started working yesterday evening. Stopped working again this afternoon. Both you lot and Plusnet are obviously incompetent!

  • Jrtyler J R Tyler (@Jrtyler) reported

    @Plusnet You say that 'most' customers are back to normal: not the case here. Please put something on the front page of the website outlining the true situation. Very very poor ux.

  • Carol15575949 Carol (@Carol15575949) reported

    @thatcastrochap @Plusnet I’m having exactly the same problem , everytime I ring they keep saying refund being processed

  • MoragSievwright MoragSees 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🤗🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@MoragSievwright) reported

    @BeanieMacintosh @Plusnet I did that yesterday and many times before. I only found out yesterday that they need to open a question then there’s 30 days for them to fix or I can leave without penalties 😡

  • MCKENZIEPICS Allan McKenzie (@MCKENZIEPICS) reported

    @Plusnet @lizcooperclark Plusnet emails can be accessed using an email client as normal.' No they can't. Email clients using IMAP & POP3 are still getting authentication errors. DM me for an example.

  • FranklyWrites Katherine Franklin has a Kickstarter (@FranklyWrites) reported

    Websites that draw your surname from your email address are honestly the worst. Looking at you, Plusnet.

  • MoragSievwright MoragSees 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🤗🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@MoragSievwright) reported

    My internet is well and truly broken! This unacceptable I’ve double / triple checked all connections. I can’t access any device. My tv and Alexa won’t work although the hub says it’s connected- everything else indicates no internet connection. @Plusnet #FedUp

  • PSAutoparts1 PSAutoparts (@PSAutoparts1) reported

    @Plusnet Great value broadband, award-winning customer service, for just £22.99 a month? That'll do. We're here to help from 8am-8pm every day. OR Just copy and paste every response. That won't do!

  • RobertMHill Robert Hill 󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇷🇪🇺 (@RobertMHill) reported

    @Plusnet @lizcooperclark Totally untrue. It is totally down again and not even accessible through clients as you always tend to think (wrongly)

  • LordElpus3 Lord Elpus (@LordElpus3) reported

    @Plusnet @drc1947 No. Plusnet (John Lewis) email can NOT be accesed via an email client. Both Windows 10 PC & Samsung phone now asking for password update. Broadband temporarily dropped a couple of times last night too. What is your estimated time to fix this?

  • MoragSievwright MoragSees 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🤗🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@MoragSievwright) reported

    @BeanieMacintosh @Plusnet I can’t understand why I’m having to go out elsewhere to get internet to complete the in service training for my work when this crowd get a direct debit off me every month for a service I’m not getting 😡

  • AdrianRP62 AdrianRP (@AdrianRP62) reported

    @Plusnet Thanks. I’m still getting system administrator messages for all my outgoing emails: “undeliverable…your message did not reach some or all of the intended recipients”. So I am only receiving at present. Thanks for your help.

  • RobertMHill Robert Hill 󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇷🇪🇺 (@RobertMHill) reported

    @Plusnet Emails totally and completely down again. Not even accessible through clients that you are so fond if telling people to sign up to. Why can you not just get it fixed properly instead of half on/half off/totally off cycles?

  • nealo88 Neale McGeever (@nealo88) reported

    @Plusnet I had my router installed by Open Reach by 1pm yesterday, why doesn't it work? Someone on your phone service said it would be on by midnight last night. Hope I'm not being charged for this week without wireless?

  • wrathofgod Susie M(ais qui?) (@wrathofgod) reported

    @Plusnet Hey @Plusnet - desktop email now will not download, which makes it day four of this outage as it affects me (and presumably others). Webmail very very slow. This is not a good look for you.

  • Roberthastosay Robert (@Roberthastosay) reported

    @Plusnet It is STILL not working now. Did for a short while this morning but now stopped again, not receiving any emails. It is farcical.

  • lauramiller1980 laura miller (@lauramiller1980) reported

    @Plusnet customer service number isn’t working and there’s a problem with my bill
