    @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?

  • 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 🙄

  • 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.

    @craigr98_2016 @shornnno @Bigdav333 @LederRaptor @SkyUK Down detector is a website that gives you a rough idea about outage issues etc. So can be useful as a way to see recent issues but all I can say is bt own plusnet ...

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

  • gregjcwest greg west (@gregjcwest) reported

    @Plusnet despite a brief engineer changing my line my broadband still sucks and is delivering half the minimum speed- as well as not reaching my spare room 10m from the router. Not good enough. Please contact me asap

  • Plusnet Plusnet (@Plusnet) reported

    @CraigPWilson Once your current service goes off, switch over the routers. It may not work straight away as the Fibre work will be on going but we'll drop you a text and email once it's ready to use. - Curtis, Plusnet Sheffield

  • modtl11 Steven Tattum 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 🇺🇦 (@modtl11) reported

    @Plusnet my nanna's internet went off last week. We phoned Saturday afternoon and your agent was amazing & did a lot to help. He sent out a new router which has resolved the problem & even kept in touch with me personally to tell me he'd sent the router. Amazing customer service.

  • Sarah_RedMeeple Sarah (@Sarah_RedMeeple) reported

    @Plusnet Seriously, @Plusnet? You promised no break in service, cut our service off, and 2 full days later it is not on. Oh but I got a text msg saying 'there's a delay' (no explanation, no timeline) so that's OK?

  • Plusnet Plusnet (@Plusnet) reported

    @rockfieldsteve I'm really sorry it's been difficult for you to cancel the BT sports. I can sort it for you straight away! I'd just need to take the account username please? - Curtis, Plusnet Sheffield

  • OliverJSmith Oliver Smith (@OliverJSmith) reported

    We currently have digital voice via FTTC from BT. Do you @plusnet support digital voice yet? What would happen if I switched to you? Does your router support the portable phones supplied by BT?

  • TonyBro53815660 Tony Brown (@TonyBro53815660) reported

    @Plusnet And your customers service is nothing to write home about

  • SamuelR Sam (@SamuelR) reported

    @Plusnet I was told by tech support to buy a new microfilter and that I would be able to have the credit for it applied to my account - however the person I spoke to did not open a ticket or any way for me to send the receipt. Can you please help?

  • PeteCondemned Condemned Pete (@PeteCondemned) reported
