    @craftycrusader Hi Monique. I'm so sorry to hear that you've had problems when trying to sign up to us! We'd definitely like to have you as a customer. Please can you try from a different browser or device, if you've not done so already? Regards, Emily Plusnet Leeds

  • PyeParr Pye (@PyeParr) reported

    Right - problem solved, this seems to be some kind of specific clash with @Plusnet as other people have had the same issues.

  • Plusnet Plusnet (@Plusnet) reported

    @bickypeg Thanks Peggy. I'm sorry to hear that it has been poor this whole time and I completely appreciate why you've decided to join another provider. Please let me know if there's anything that you'd like to discuss in the meantime. Regards, Emily Plusnet Leeds

  • EUPDfeelslike P (@EUPDfeelslike) reported

    @Plusnet Still down.. have private messaged. I know there is an outage due to building work knocking out cables but just wanted an update/timescale for when it may be back up? 2 days now..

  • bickypeg Peggy Breckin 🇸🇾 🇵🇸 (@bickypeg) reported

    @Plusnet You seem to be charging us for breaking the contract. But as I said my husband should really have contacted you long ago to say there was a problem. Had become impossible for us to babysit on various days when sons were here homeworking, trying to have meetings etc.

  • bickypeg Peggy Breckin 🇸🇾 🇵🇸 (@bickypeg) reported

    @Plusnet It's been poor ever since we moved in nearly a year ago. It's been appalling the last few weeks. Can't imagine why my husband didn't keep phoning you to tell you it was down every day. Anyway made a unilateral decision and cancelled our subscription and joined Sky.

  • SammieNova Sammie (They/Them) (@SammieNova) reported

    Hey against @Plusnet is anyone there that could help, as this is still a recurring issue?

  • EUPDfeelslike P (@EUPDfeelslike) reported

    @BasGazette Ours is still down.. Plusnet are telling me Tues 14th until it will be back up. Currently using 4G on my (Plusnet) mobile but it’s very patchy and keeps coming and going.. at least I’ve got service though, nothing on daughter’s o2 phone.

  • ellewavey Lil E 🇫🇷 (@ellewavey) reported

    @Plusnet Ok so how come your website says that there are no issues? How come there has been no contact and people have to revert to their children going on twitter? And now will they be compensated as they work from home?

  • send2gl Geoff Lane (@send2gl) reported

    @Plusnet Folks, any issues in HA8 area? Phone seems OK but internet virtually non existent. Had to switch modem off and use mobile.

  • Lmm72962426 Lmm (@Lmm72962426) reported

    If anyone on twitter is thinking about going with Plusnet for the internet, don't bother... it's great the first six months, then the signal is rubbish, and just to rub salt in, they increase their prices for a service that you don't receive...

  • craftycrusader Monique (@craftycrusader) reported

    @Plusnet I hope your internet is faster than your response to customer service issues

  • NN10Canary Mike Garwood (@NN10Canary) reported

    @Plusnet @Plusnet Garbage service. Will be cancelling when I get home. Genuinely atrocious

  • SammieNova Sammie (They/Them) (@SammieNova) reported

    @Plusnet Hello, my internet has been going on and off for the last 10-15 minutes, is there a problem in Runnymede/Surrey?

  • Plusnet Plusnet (@Plusnet) reported

    @NATTBradfordian I'd advise your grandpa to give us a call on 0800 432 0200, if they're unable to help over the phone then they may be able to organise something for him. - Curtis, Plusnet Sheffield

  • Lisa_heesom lisa heesom (@Lisa_heesom) reported

    @Plusnet I’d rather you reply to queries and help sort my billing out so I can actually use the service I pay for!

  • seonemesis Jason (@seonemesis) reported

    @Plusnet The CS guy emailed me. Apparently his system went down, that cut him off. It doesnt excuse the boring "we're expereicneing high call volumes" nonsesne. Every corp now uses this excuse for not hiring enough staff. Plusnet have always been head & shoulders above the rest. Now same?

  • Plusnet Plusnet (@Plusnet) reported

    @ellewavey I'm sorry that that's the case and for any inconvenience that this outage is causing. Regards, Emily Plusnet Leeds

  • Lisa_heesom lisa heesom (@Lisa_heesom) reported

    @Plusnet really disappointed with the poor customer service so far. 2 days and still no reply to message!

  • seanmcelhinney Seán McElhinney (@seanmcelhinney) reported

    @Plusnet I am the account holder for an elderly, registered disabled person who depends on their internet connection for medical reasons and to avoid isolation. They've had NO CONNECTION since Wednesday and your team gave them no help at all. What are you going to do about it?

  • Superspurs1000 Gazinho (@Superspurs1000) reported

    @jesuisunhananas @VOXI_UK Yes I'm leaving for plusnet for that reason. Not that the PAC code works or anyone can understand in customer service what my issue is. Shocking

  • footiep nancy perrin (@footiep) reported

    @Plusnet anyone here able to help with big drop in speed?

  • Plusnet Plusnet (@Plusnet) reported

    @ellewavey Thank you. I hope so! I know that this issue is affecting a lot of our customers so hopefully our suppliers are able to fix this sooner than estimated. Sorry again for the inconvenience caused. Regards, Emily Plusnet Leeds

  • aerialtyke Aerial Tyke (@aerialtyke) reported

    @MSE_Deals Too late for this time but, in future, if you're already a Plusnet broadband customer, click the relevant button and get an extra 2GB.

  • Stubbs Stuart Grimshaw (@Stubbs) reported

    Anyone else having @Plusnet connection problems or is it just me?

  • npmLincs Revd Nigel Moat (@npmLincs) reported

    I have @Plusnet broadband (@JohnLewisRetail branded). I have moved house and tried to switch the service to the new house. PlusNet have told me the house is full fibre and that can't to provide that service - but want to charge me £139 cancellation fee. How can that be possible?

  • Mr_BenSmith Ben (@Mr_BenSmith) reported

    @PyeParr @Plusnet Having an IT department to run to crying 'Help!' is a definite plus.

  • jane_bolt Jane (@jane_bolt) reported

    @OpenreachHelp @Plusnet Okay, purchased a property and decided to join Plusnet broadband 20th April 2022. Still no progress from Plusnet or Openreach, apparently now with 'frames management', whatever that means? Very frustrated customer, 7 weeks no progress !! More push needed?

  • NATTBradfordian N.T-T 🐗 🇵🇸 (@NATTBradfordian) reported

    @Plusnet do you do a WiFi set up service for the elderly? My grandpa's received his new router and has no idea what to do with it? We're a bit far away to do this for him.

  • BootzDeborah Deborah Bootz (@BootzDeborah) reported

    @EUPDfeelslike @WeAreOpenreach @Plusnet They said that to us after a pole was knocked down ..tomorrow next day Monday etc that was twenty days ago and counting
