  • joshuaoates1993 Joshua Oates (@joshuaoates1993) reported

    @Plusnet Was told to upload a receipt to a complaint online but can’t find anywhere to do this and replying to complaint email says go online?

  • lumynosyty LCtrlAltDel (@lumynosyty) reported

    @mrmumbl35 @EddyThomas1997 You are aware that BT are the service provider for both EE and Plusnet. The only 2 main hardline service providers in the UK are BT and Virgin. All the other providers use their physical services all you are effectively doing is changing front facing company you deal with.

  • _MartinDW Martin_D_Williams (@_MartinDW) reported

    @Plusnet Perhaps less time on joke tweets and more time fixing poor internet stability!!

  • hariatv tu123 (@hariatv) reported

    @plusnethelp I switched to Plusnet Mobile last week and received a new sim in the post on 13th April. I still have not received an activation message and having contacted plusnet customer services, they could find no record of my order despite having taken payment upfront!

  • lozphie Lauren Hurford (@lozphie) reported

    @plusnethelp Hi Chris! I’m not even going to bother. We’ve got so many notes and complaints on our account already it wouldn’t achieve anything. I’m SO disappointed in the service we’ve had and I definitely wouldn’t recommend Plusnet 😡

  • andiewills Drea 🇿🇼🇬🇧 (@andiewills) reported

    @Plusnet @plusnethelp are THE worst service providers I ever came across. Avoid like the plague.

  • benaldo Is that OK given the climate emergency? 💚☮️ (@benaldo) reported

    @plusnethelp You (a) can't help me at all or (b) can't help me via twitter? (a) Why not? It's Plusnet I get put through when trying to make a phone call... (b) Why not, and why not tell me which support platform you can assist me via?

  • WYeates Will Yeates (@WYeates) reported

    Argh. My internet provider @Plusnet has gone down every day for six days now... big problems... and hours to get through to anyone...

  • huesbnb huesbnb.co.uk (@huesbnb) reported

    How can a business go from great customer service @plusnethelp to useless in such a short time, yes “it’s Covid”, but we are all in the same boat!!.... live chat hasn’t been working for months and never a reply via Twitter messaging.... time to move on from @plusnet I think 🤔

  • Kimh17054704 Kim h (@Kimh17054704) reported

    The most appalling service in years! I moved into a new flat on the 26th March. And as of today, still have broadband, despite alerting JLB to my move 13th March. I've spent the past 3 weeks calling, emailing, nada. I An absolute disgrace. JL should run a mile from Plusnet

  • Ruth82046341 Ruth (@Ruth82046341) reported

    @Plusnet failed to arrange internet installation on agreed date, plusnet confirmed they made the mistake (listened to the calls). Has cost me a LOT of money in bolt-ons to be able to keep working from home whilst you fix mistake. You say you'll credit me but not refund!

  • Ruth82046341 Ruth (@Ruth82046341) reported

    @Plusnet your team member (who was awful!) has just told me I am now hostage to the company! In spite of you saying in writing that you will "cover the cost of the bolt-ons and extra data", this will not be via a refund - but I have other bills to pay, and won't be able to!

  • _ClulY_ Cluly (@_ClulY_) reported

    @plusnethelp STILL dropping conenction mid day, engineer found nothing wrong on the last visit. I'm about to change supplier if this isn't fixed, by FAR the worst Plusnet has ever been in 10 years of using them.

  • NathOrme Nathan (@NathOrme) reported

    @plusnethelp @Plusnet awful! Every night I have to turn off my WiFi and restart it! Terrible terrible terrible!!! Please do something about it. Speed guarantee... worst connection I’ve ever had. Contact me for details please

  • FrankDRoberts Frank Roberts (@FrankDRoberts) reported

    @Plusnet Dreadful service! signed up end of March; 10-14 days for internet, had to wait 3 weeks until the 17th April, on the 16th get further message stating internet will be ready by 30th April!!

  • Alteredgeist Uncle Establishment (@Alteredgeist) reported

    @Plusnet hi can I get any kind of response about what is happening to my not working broadband in Preston, lancs please? It went down about half an hour ago and will not come back up. Red light on the router. I work from home so I need a fix ASAP.

  • 1337mxtt 1337mxtt (@1337mxtt) reported

    @plusnethelp Well done to the engineers at Plusnet who resolved the issue quickly. 👍

  • stvmccrthy Steve McCarthy (@stvmccrthy) reported

    @jessmeacham I'd assume yes it's through the phoneline as they use the BT network. Things might have changed since my plusnet days but it's pretty much only Virgin and a few small companies that use anything other than the phoneline.

  • DanielSaan TheDandalorian 🇪🇺 (@DanielSaan) reported

    @Plusnet if I could see one of your routers was having an issue, who should I tell?

  • MarionSalizar Marion Salizar (@MarionSalizar) reported

    @stumpygutbucket @sainsburysbank Gawdstrewth! Ugh. For future reference when it won't cripple us to go back to them we will go back to PlusNet was excellent. We are now with Poptelecom who are crap. I nearly had a breakdown when trying to sort out our gas and electric with NPower years ago!

  • 09andypandy88 Andy Saunders (@09andypandy88) reported

    @alan_saunders @Plusnet I’ve always heard God awful things about them. And apparently their customer service is terrible too 🙃

  • murgz7 FPL Megatron (@murgz7) reported

    @plusnethelp @Plusnet Can someone please sort this internet and customer service out for me? Horrendous back and forth!

  • lozphie Lauren Hurford (@lozphie) reported

    We left Sky because their service was **** and we’d been recommended @Plusnet, who it turns out at the moment are even worse!! Never had such poor customer service!

  • Bowiesexual1973 Anger Bunny 🦄🐇 🦖🐍🐠🦋 (@Bowiesexual1973) reported

    @Ben_Scott_DOP @fesshole ****, really? i want to ditch virgin and their shiny megaspeed broadband and move to plusnet with their lacklustre 60mbps. do you advise against?

  • LeeEdwardx Lee Edward (@LeeEdwardx) reported

    @Plusnet how wonderful first day of my plusnet and its not working, i work from home and now cannot, “someone hasn’t done something right” oh great what a wonderful excuse while i lose money for 3 days... 🙄

  • dianawestrip dianawestrip (@dianawestrip) reported

    @plusnethelp I cannot believe what Plusnet have put me through, I cancelled my order after so many problems, then I discovered you closed my online account but didn’t close the actual order for broadband and the phone line installation, I have just got a text and email with date

  • FrankDRoberts Frank Roberts (@FrankDRoberts) reported

    @Plusnet Registered with Plusnet for internet end of March, informed 10-14 days, had to wait three weeks until 17th April. On 16th April get message stating internet will not be ready until ready until 30th April. No explanation. Not acceptable level of service!!

  • JohnRussell40 John Russell (@JohnRussell40) reported

    @WYeates @Plusnet It's Openreach's infrastructure that's gone down, not Plusnet's. But agree it takes a long time to get through to @Plusnet's technical team to report a fault.

  • Ruth82046341 Ruth (@Ruth82046341) reported

    @Plusnet now saying that if I leave their service (which I would have a right to do seeing how they have failed me) I will forfeit the money they owe me (which I only had to spend to fix their mistakes!) Being held hostage as their customer!!!
