    @Plusnet Hi @plusnet - I come with a problem this time. The same Sarah Clifford told me if I wanted to cancel it mid contract I wouldn't have to pay the full contract, just a fixed fee. Now that I'm done with that rental house you're charging me almost £200? What's up?

  • TerminalGuy Terminal Guy (@TerminalGuy) reported

    @bt_uk Hi, my broadband is down, I'm with Plusnet but think BT outages affect my internet. Is there any issues in the NE35 postcode, and if so, an ETA on a fix?

  • mcgregor_graeme Running for food (@mcgregor_graeme) reported

    @Plusnet Oddly enough it never happened for the previous 2 years with our previous provider

  • kentwedfairy Kent Wedding Blog (@kentwedfairy) reported

    Pretty impressive how dogshit my internet connection can be when my router is in the next room. Plusnet is terrible lmao

  • meta127 Name Not-Important (@meta127) reported

    @Plusnet It's also great that the EE site won't let me report the outage since it doesn't recognise Plusnet numbers, as if we're second class citizens.

  • Mike_P_B Mike B (@Mike_P_B) reported

    @SenseiAsad @NinaPinOD @Plusnet WA4 down too, not that close but I’ve tried everything and no connectivity.

  • Plusnet Plusnet (@Plusnet) reported

    @AlexEDarko Hi Paul, I'm sorry to hear about your broadband. I can see that you've contacted our Support Team earlier, is this now all sorted? Or do you need any further help? - Curtis, Plusnet Sheffield

  • RJM_83 rob (@RJM_83) reported

  • AlbaFrancescut Alba Francescut (@AlbaFrancescut) reported

    @Plusnet My broadband is down since yesterday at 2 pm. I tried to call customer service multiple times but no answer. I need it to be checked ASAP before my work day starts today. I already sent you a dm.

  • JoeMcke97475279 Joe Mckenzie (@JoeMcke97475279) reported

    @Plusnet Morning Adam another few days with problems .system falling out on quite a few occasions twice this morning had a colleague yesterday to help but after the wi-fi speed you fixed is back to around 7.0 download ,if needed please use remote ,Joe

  • PamCrossland Pam Crossland - Pandemic ISN'T over ⚧ 🧜‍♀️ 🧜‍♂️ (@PamCrossland) reported

    Right, Just signed up for ordinary broadband (not Fibre) on Plusnet. Should start in about two weeks. 18.99 for up to 10MBS with unlimited downloads. After years with talktalk, they couldn't guarantee go below £20 and shell had too many poor reviews.

  • moss_jo Jo moss (@moss_jo) reported

    @Plusnet having problems with broadband signal dropping for approx 2 mins a few times a day. I’m using extra phone data, plus it’s affecting me working from home. Please can you look into this for me

  • itsPaulinaIrena Paulina Irena (@itsPaulinaIrena) reported

    @Plusnet Adam why you being condescending towards a customer? “Few and far apart to be honest” well let me tell you Adam, I run an online business… so these “FEW and FAR APART to be honest” are affecting my business, as I don’t work 9-5. The connection has been slow as per usual.

  • twig_mango twig mango (@twig_mango) reported

    @Plusnet Hi, having a really hard time resetting password for site - it just won’t click for me. Can you help? Happens a lot

  • RebeccaBusiness Rebecca-Elaine (@RebeccaBusiness) reported

  • londontaxitx4 londontaxitx4 (@londontaxitx4) reported

    @Plusnet Plusnet still down when will be fixed

  • NinaPinOD Nina Purcell (@NinaPinOD) reported

    @Plusnet @SenseiAsad I’m the same Asad. Down for over 24 hours now for me after the same last week. Please can you advise @Plusnet ? I did call but was unable to speak to anyone and the voicemail just continues to say call back tomorrow?

  • dan_N_smith Dan Smith (@dan_N_smith) reported

    @jon_newsome @Plusnet Never used Plusnet but all I’ve heard is they’re useless.

  • Theliquidator99 Reaper (@Theliquidator99) reported

    @Plusnet Really frustrating that Plusnet mobile doesn’t support short code texting. Unable to reply to the bank, NHS, dentist etc. are there any plans to introduce this. Adding WiFi calling would also be helpful.

  • KikiSparkle Kirstie (@KikiSparkle) reported

    @Plusnet my internet has been down for 3 hours now!!! What do I do?!

  • mcgregor_graeme Running for food (@mcgregor_graeme) reported

    @Plusnet What's the point? Your service is shite. Crashes at least twice a week yet every time we contact you we just get told there's no problem your end. Been happening for nearly a year and we can't wait to move to a different provider

  • BrandLinkGolf BRANDLINK GOLF (@BrandLinkGolf) reported

    @jon_newsome @Plusnet I can help you if you need Jon 👍🏻

  • afreakstorm Mark Stevens (@afreakstorm) reported

    @Plusnet you've disabled my current SIM but my new SIM hasn't arrived yet! I can't call customer services or anyone for that matter. Help?

  • carl_wheatley Carl Wheatley 🦢🐺 (@carl_wheatley) reported

    @Plusnet "as soon as possible" to acknowledge/respond to my support request on here is apparently 17 hours and counting so far

  • MarcSchmitz18 Marc Schmitz (@MarcSchmitz18) reported

    @Plusnet when will the Internet be back up? I’ve seen lots of people with the same problem today so I’m not the only one. Any updates would be appreciated

  • SenseiAsad Asad Mustafa (@SenseiAsad) reported

    @NinaPinOD @Plusnet Support said the issue is with openreach and that it’d be sorted by 4am today (clearly wasn’t), then half 8 tonight (also a no, although it was back for an hour or so before going again). Whereabouts are you based? We’re in Warrington WA5.
