  • ChrisBr41449425 Chris. Bracken (@ChrisBr41449425) reported from Warrington, England

    @plusnet @plusnethelp You've left my elderly, shielding parents without a phone line for 48hrs now, and nothing is being done. I sat for 45mins on hold this morning to call you, and couldn't get through. At this stressful time, this isn't good enough! Any chance of a solution?

  • Cuttsrich rich cutts (@Cuttsrich) reported from Tyldesley, England

    @virginmedia Mmm. 2 days loss of service in a week. Not good. Maybe I'll speak to that nice chappie in Sheffield at PlusNet or maybe get BT Sports for free with BT Think you can do better tbh Voda do a cheap deal too...

  • Shaunmc40 Shaun Mc (@Shaunmc40) reported from Liverpool, England

    8 yrs with @sky no problems one month with @Plusnet billing issues. If you are thinking of switching to them give it a miss.

  • lynnwarbo lynn warburton (@lynnwarbo) reported from St Helens, England

    @DavidALavery @Plusnet I recommend raising issue via resolver who will escalate when plusnet still ignore you .. I'm limited to choice in my area and my mum used say better the devil you know !!

  • CroftJackie Jackie (@CroftJackie) reported from Up Holland, England

    @plusnethelp Someone called me back and then passed me onto a helpful lady. This has helped resume the internet but not the bad feeling we now have to Plusnet. We had the worst day ever being spoken to be such a rude, arrogant and pompous man who spoke spoke so rudely to myself and daughter

  • lynnwarbo lynn warburton (@lynnwarbo) reported from St Helens, England

    @DonaKempton @SkyUK @Plusnet Well sky rent bt technology and plusnet are owned by bt so when I check .. for example .. down detector I always check bt status too ..

  • SarahDixonHE Sarah Dixon (@SarahDixonHE) reported from Liverpool, England

    Best internet provider? Currently with @Plusnet and they are absolutely terrible. Can’t connect phones to the WiFi and the signal goes about 1m in the house and what you can get is slow as anything 🙄

  • lynnwarbo lynn warburton (@lynnwarbo) reported from St Helens, England

    @plusnethelp just so you are aware plusnet have places ILLEGAL restrictions onto my account again and it is now my intention to take this issue further .. another disgraceful example of plusnets arrogance and utter lack of customer consideration !!!

  • StoneTyres Stone Tyres (@StoneTyres) reported from St Helens, England

    PHONE LINE DOWN Please bear with us. Our @Plusnet phone line has gone down. Divert will take at least an hour to be activated. Feel free to message us on here. Apologies, we are looking for a more reliable supplier as we speak.

  • Paul_crannee Paul (@Paul_crannee) reported from Hindley, England

    @Plusnet I need to contact someone on behalf of an elderly family member whose router has stopped working, completely! No email and currently no live chat to help resolve. Please advise asap, thanks. DM me if necessary, thanks.

  • Kinglouy08 Anthony Lewis (@Kinglouy08) reported

    @Plusnet Hi.I’m late paying my bill this month (yesterday was the last day). I tried for hours last night to pay the bill. The WiFi was slow but working, however every time I tried to get on your site to pay, nothing would load. Now my bill has almost doubled for being late (1/2)

  • Sad__Owl Where did Covid go?! 🤣 (@Sad__Owl) reported

    @4lanFrancis @tescomobile That's £3/month cheaper than my deal with Three Mobile (5 contracts) and been with them 6-7years. Plusnet seem very good value for Broadband as well, and as I used to have them as a BB provide, they answer the customer services phones unlike Talk Talk.

  • Two2sheds Ian Graves (@Two2sheds) reported

    @Plusnet Good evening I am Ian Graves of 22 North Street Melbourne DE73 8FZ. 01332865328 Could you please advise me when my contract expires, and when I can leave plusnet without incurring early termination penalties. Thanks for your help Ian

  • AlexTodhunter Alex Todhunter (@AlexTodhunter) reported

    @Plusnet @Plusnet I can't believe it takes so much effort to close down my monthly contract. It took me 3 minutes to sign up. Now I'm being told I can only cancel by calling a telephone number which will likely have me on hold at a cost which exceeds my monthly bill!?!?

  • rockest_lobster Rock Lobster (@rockest_lobster) reported

    I'm pretty sure at this point Plusnet have a policy of winding down your line speed until you complain. I'm paying for 80, it's currently syncing at 30 with a 21db SNR margin. It hasn't synced above 60 (minimum guaranteed is 59.6 or something) for 2 years.

  • rossbrown Ross Brown (@rossbrown) reported

    @Plusnet Cheers. Have a good evening (assuming you’re not working too late!) - Ross, Plusnet Customer, Manchester 🤔

  • Mod71 Mod71 (@Mod71) reported

    @Plusnet Brilliant that you can help 🇺🇦 . How about also assisting a customer who has their connection date pushed back TWICE and now pushed back 2 weeks to end of March!! Completely out of order.

  • KatTrimble Kat J Trimble (@KatTrimble) reported

    @angry_tired I 'm merciless on the phone with utility suppliers. The only ones I ever have a giggle with are Plusnet. Been with them for mobile for a while and have a brilliant deal. I'd never move. Wifi/broadband a whole other issue. A pain in the proverbial. Old Victorian houses, etc,etc.

  • Pauline54232922 Pauline Turner #pigoneer (@Pauline54232922) reported

    @4lanFrancis @tescomobile But you're right about Plusnet. I switched from them to Vodafone last October. Big mistake! The promised £100 voucher never arrived, the speed is slow, no free landline calls and less data allowance.

  • NoraHutson Lady Weathergirl #FBPE #FBPPR #FBPA 🇪🇺🔶 💙🇺🇦 (@NoraHutson) reported

    @KatTrimble God, it’s soul destroying, isn’t it, ringing these customer so-called “helplines”? We are with PlusNet now - to give them their due, seems quite easy to get through and talk to a real person. Tesco Mobile another one with v good service.
