    @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 ...

  • 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.

  • 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 ..

  • ukpayrollserv Duane James (@ukpayrollserv) reported from Frodsham, England

    Over the past 10 days we are experiencing at least one incident per day of the router losing connection ..generally comes back on after about 2 minutes but have never had this before @Plusnet

  • JayneyBarnes Jayne Barnes (@JayneyBarnes) reported from Widnes, England

    @Plusnet Had a band and we tried real hard Jimmy quit, Jody got married I should've known we'd never get far #StartTheSummer

  • Ed_Manning Ed Manning (@Ed_Manning) reported from Birkenhead, England

    As for @Ofcom I suggest the home move process is reviewed and special attention is paid to the relationship between the network operators and the retailers. Perhaps other providers such as @BTCare and @TalkTalk and @Plusnet could tell me whether they could do any better. 14/END

  • bricklandsfish Bricklands Fish, Seafood and Game (@bricklandsfish) reported from Chester, England

    @SteveTomlinson4 Ohh read you have to phone them to cancel.. just can’t switch. Anyway all sorted.. took 2 min online to switch to Plusnet. £96 a year saved

  • aitch5012 MickHoll (@aitch5012) reported from Liverpool, England

    @Plusnet hi my broadband was due to be transferred to my new address and go live today but I’m having a lot of issues. First I had a text saying it was to be delayed and now I’ve had a text saying to send back the router bcoz I’m no longer with plus net?? Could somebody plz help

  • 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 🙄

  • punchymcslap Punchy McSlap ✍️ Drawn to Procrastination (@punchymcslap) reported from Birkenhead, England

    @Plusnet 24hrs without internet now, any sign of a fix?

  • LisaWeeks9381 Lisa W (weird mum of 2) 💪💖 (@LisaWeeks9381) reported from Birkenhead, England

    @jolliehaybowes @Plusnet Cancel the direct debit. "I'm sorry plusnet, my account seems to be working fine."

  • weloveourboat Aroundtheworldandback (@weloveourboat) reported from Chester, England

    @plusnethelp your customer service live chat and phone number is not very helpful. Do I automatically get a new router if I join Plusnet broadband and phone package? Simple question. Can’t get an answer!

  • 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?

  • 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.

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • AdiOConnor69 Adrian O'Connor (@AdiOConnor69) reported

    @Plusnet Plusnet has failed to contact me re closing my account and the reasons behind it and the soonest I can get broadband reinstated is 10 working days. Try explaining that to 3 children who rely on broadband. I have tried calling customer services but to no avail

  • wayneynwa83 Wayne Oliver (@wayneynwa83) reported

    @plusnet our internet is very slow,please help?

  • spencerjscott Spencer Scott (@spencerjscott) reported

    @Plusnet WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER!! I have been hold for the fourth time this week, for an hour and a half, with no resolution. Absolutely poor effort. Where is your customer service team? Time to hire some new staff!!

  • AllanDell2 DelBoy (@AllanDell2) reported

    Anyone on here having trouble getting in touch with Plusnet, I know they are part of BT but up until now they have not been anywhere like the poor service usually given by BT when it comes to Broadband problems – until now!

  • MorganMarkF Mark M (@MorganMarkF) reported

    @MeEncantaUk @Plusnet If they can fleece the disabled and leave a load off issues behind then they're not reputable enough for me.

  • AdiOConnor69 Adrian O'Connor (@AdiOConnor69) reported

    @Plusnet what a disgraceful service. I was supposed to be swapping to Plusnet and my old provider was cut off only to find out my Plusnet account has been closed and I am left without broadband. It will take at least 10 working days for the service to be reinstated.

  • Jay84uk Jamie (@Jay84uk) reported

    @Plusnet Yes I still need help. Message sent

  • Paul0069739619 Paul Adams (@Paul0069739619) reported

    @Plusnet Thank you for asking. Yes after spending nearly 2 hours of trying to get through I eventually succeeded. Although the issue has far from been resolved.

  • RejoinToriesOut Big Millsy (@RejoinToriesOut) reported

    @Plusnet I can see I’m apparently due to pay £3.14 for this month which I don’t really understand (not a huge problem) anyway you could just drop me a message to explain that?

  • SpiveyJames James Spivey (@SpiveyJames) reported

    @fineartskaty @Plusnet My activation was supposed to be today and I'm not gonna lie, Katy's tweet has really concerned me. Having no broadband for a substantial amount of time is not a good look for a new customer. I've sent a DM Plusnet, it's already waiting. 😞
