  • 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!

  • cathmcgovern1 Cath McGovern (@cathmcgovern1) 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

  • 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.

  • 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

    @thatPoleLouis @Plusnet Contact ofcom asap ... there is policy that if an isp have not upheld their side of their contract they CANNOT charge a cancellation fee .. but ofcom can help better x

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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 !!

  • 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...

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

  • 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.

  • Plusnet Plusnet (@Plusnet) reported

    @caz90210 Hi there, we're not aware of any issues in your area. That sounds like either a problem with the SIM card or the phone not being able to detect it. I suggest turning the phone off, removing and re-entering the SIM. Please let me know how you get on. - Adam - Plusnet Sheffield

  • thinkplaymake Matthew Knight (@thinkplaymake) reported

    @Plusnet hello! My modem's connection is dropping every fifteen minutes or so, flashes for a bit and then reconnects. Is there an issue in the Twickenham area?

  • KateEades Kate Eades (@KateEades) reported

    @Plusnet The Helpdesk number on your website is not working (+44800-432-0200). Please can you tell me why my broadband has stopped working and when this will be resolved? Working from home so need this to be resolved soon.

  • rachel_say Rachel Say (@rachel_say) reported

    So what is the solution when your @Plusnet SIM just stops working and you can't make any calls or texts (>24 hrs now)? According to app/website etc, it's give them a call. Errrrm, slight issue there...

  • derek_breeze Derek Breeze (@derek_breeze) reported

    Having just moved broadband and mobiles to @Plusnet I have to say how impressive their customer service is. I got through to a real person in under 2 minutes both times.

  • NecroG4ming NecroGaming (@NecroG4ming) reported

    @ItsMadJohn @Hyperoptic Moving to Plusnet on the 23rd. Still gonna have crap speeds though since thats all you can get round here. Really wanna move to Milton Keynes in the next couple of years. They near 100% FTTP.

  • Plusnet Plusnet (@Plusnet) reported

    @LouiseScott1377 Hi Louise, I'm really sorry to hear you were having issues with your broadband. I can see you were able to get in touch with us over the phone and you're now showing back online, I hope you didn't miss your doctor's call due to this. -Tony Plusnet Sheffield

  • bmpmcgirr Brian (@bmpmcgirr) reported

    @GreyAlien @Plusnet my average speed is 0.9 mbps and im sick to the teeth of excuses and fob off solutions! It used to be about 10-11 mbps which was crap but done the job bit has got beyond a joke now.

  • peaky4indy Gracie P ☮🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺🎶📚📽🎨 (@peaky4indy) reported

    @celticwitch1995 I had sky with no problems.Then cancelled all of it including tv and got broadband from plusnet and it was absolute crap!They admitted it and let me leave contract with compen.Back with sky broadband with absolutely no problems.Think it depends where you live and how far from box

  • Plusnet Plusnet (@Plusnet) reported

    @Oojoodeboo Hi there we don't provide roaming services in the US so it could be costly to use our network. If you did want to though it would be best to update your smart cap to at least £20. Alternatively you might want to get a temporary SIM from a local provider - Adam - Plusnet Sheffield
