    @Plusnet @OVLHSSociety How about you address those people who have been left without internet since 1am? Or explain why there is no overnight support? Or why your call centre won't answer calls? Or text messages go unanswered? Not. Good. Enough.

  • bethcsmith23 Beth (@bethcsmith23) reported

    @andig80 @stayingaliveuk @Plusnet I just had a message telling me to try and call from a different phone as if mine was the problem when a lot of people can't get through. 🙄 shocking.

  • Green_Windmill GreenWindmill (@Green_Windmill) reported

    @plusnet services down nationwide for 9 hours or so now and they’re yet to even acknowledge a problem, this is madness

  • stayingaliveuk Michael de Groot (@stayingaliveuk) reported

    @Plusnet @OVLHSSociety Thank you Curtis the problem is why does it take over an hour from when your started to let all of us know. This is when your guys let yourselves down. You can’t claim award winning customer service when you do this. Just be honest with us we can clearly see it’s down!!

  • Billygamble Brendan Traynor 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇮🇪 (@Billygamble) reported

    @Plusnet Broadband down in G84, do you know when it will be restored? #helensburgh

  • keve1981 kev e (@keve1981) reported

    @Plusnet Been on phone for 45 mins. Also on text message but not heard for 45 mins despite saying it's usually within 15. Solid blue light on router. Sounds like you have issues in the wider area. Do you know how long I will be waiting for?

  • keve1981 kev e (@keve1981) reported

    @Plusnet @RainbowsEnd69 Mine is down too. Sounds like exactly the same problem. Any update @Plusnet ?

  • NeilHerbert Neil Herbert (@NeilHerbert) reported

    @thinkplaymake @Plusnet @RainbowsEnd69 Yeah can't even ping an IP address. Was hoping it would just be a DNS issue and switch to 8.8.8.8 or something, but no. Can't even ping that!

  • RadventureDave It's Dave Yeah? (@RadventureDave) reported

    @plusnet any update on what’s causing the service outage? Any eta on when it might be back up?

  • Plusnet Plusnet (@Plusnet) reported

    @OVLHSSociety We are very sorry that some customers are experiencing problems with broadband services this morning. We are working quickly to fix the issue - Curtis, Plusnet Sheffield

  • the1emer Emer (@the1emer) reported

    @Plusnet Hello, could you please help me with my service as I currently have none and work from home. I called and revived a text saying you'd be in touch within 15 min..... It's been longer. Can you please provide an update?

  • anniesbellamy Annie Bellamy (@anniesbellamy) reported

    @Plusnet there are no updates from yourselves regarding the outage and with no way of contacting you I will now have to pay for a co-working space in order to do my job…will Plusnet cover this cost?

  • Scottishnotbrit IndyMcбот #WakeUpSheeple 🇷🇺 (@Scottishnotbrit) reported

    @CW7221 @Plusnet I gave up waiting - and then found out the service was down across the U.K from downdetector and here

  • RuthDucker Ruth Ducker (@RuthDucker) reported

    Experiencing Internet outage @Plusnet via #johnlewisinternet .. my workday has just ground to a monumental halt. When working from home doesn't work. Suddenly realise I spend my entire day on video calls.. so I can safely say deadlines are not happening today.

  • paulculshaw Paul Culshaw (@paulculshaw) reported

    Plusnet also down in Manchester. Looks like I’ll need to use my mobile data for work. #plusnet

  • stayingaliveuk Michael de Groot (@stayingaliveuk) reported

    Currently @plusnet isn’t talking to the nation to confirm their broadband service is down. Well, it definitely is! Award winning customer service? - NOT! Customer service should be judged when the chips are down.@plusnethelp #plusnet #broadbandisdown

  • madbikertony Tony (@madbikertony) reported

    @Plusnet internet is down in Bridgwater Somerset

  • philip_jewer ⚫ Phil Jewer #FBPE (@philip_jewer) reported

    @Plusnet @OVLHSSociety 'Some customers'. It's all of us. Progress though - it's only taken Plusnet 9 hours to admit there's a problem at all... Final straw for me.

  • paulculshaw Paul Culshaw (@paulculshaw) reported

    Plusnet also down in Manchester. Looks like l’ll be using using my rolled over Sky mobile data for work.

  • Wandering_Sue Sue (@Wandering_Sue) reported

    @Plusnet does you award winning customer service ever involve speaking to a customer or providing broadband?

  • shirleykprice ShirleyP (@shirleykprice) reported

    @Plusnet My internet has been down all morning in Sheffield the router says everything is on but I have no connection, neighbours aren't working either.

  • Tecton18 Tecton (@Tecton18) reported

    @Plusnet @OVLHSSociety Only some? Seems like a massive outage. Be honest, please.

  • Tecton18 Tecton (@Tecton18) reported

    @Plusnet I'm missing work now, and just got a "we may take longer than 20 minutes to get back to you text" a full hour after being told that the problem is within my home network. Which it is not Useless.

  • Scottishnotbrit IndyMcбот #WakeUpSheeple 🇷🇺 (@Scottishnotbrit) reported

    @Plusnet No internet connection in Aberdeen since midnight - what is going on? It seems a widespread problem!

  • robakabob84 robert (@robakabob84) reported

    @Plusnet whats gone on with, the service. Were being told its connected to the internet but nothing is working. Customer services aint even available. #bluelight#nointernet

  • FumigatedSpace rach who? (@FumigatedSpace) reported

    @Plusnet is down, which is just brilliant as I work from home. Customer service line isn’t taking calls, and the Text Fault service doesn’t reply. Also anyone from Plusnet is yet to acknowledge there is a problem despite lots of people reporting the same thing. Ridiculously bad

  • SandiferSmith Dr George Sandifer-Smith (@SandiferSmith) reported

    @Plusnet Can we have some clarity on your internet service being down please? We both work from home and have deadlines today, it feels like the problems with the service aren’t being acknowledged anywhere. What about an ETA on when it will be restored?

  • girl_mancunian MancunianGirl (@girl_mancunian) reported

    @Plusnet why are you responding only to individuals when you can clearly see, and your website confirms, that almost all your customers are down?

  • jameslodge James Lodge (@jameslodge) reported

    @Plusnet has the U.K. government mandated this outage 2 force people back to the office? WFH users are now sitting there with no heat (to expensive) and unable to keep warm by frantically refreshing social media! All they have is the warmth from the glow of the router red light.

  • Stephen_Kelk Stephen (@Stephen_Kelk) reported

    @Plusnet Any updates on the broadband outage affecting Yorkshire and possibly nationally please? #plusnetdown #broadband
