    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 🙄

  • 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!

    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

    @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...

  • 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?

  • 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

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

  • 2owlsparty Shona Dearden (@2owlsparty) reported

    @Plusnet fibre bb installed Monday. Now not working, router showing orange, all lights on the openreach box as they should be, power cycled both still the same. Tried to log fault on your site but it won't let me!

  • BarracudaSwer Eve (@BarracudaSwer) reported

    Clients are going to have the email me. No phone reception here. **** you plusnet

  • LordPeterLord Peter Lord (@LordPeterLord) reported

    @plusnethelp Hi. I'm a recently new plusnet customer. I haven't reviewed the £75 gift card perk as of yet. Do I get this at the end of my first year's contract?

  • smsburn Simon Burn (@smsburn) reported

    @Plusnet I would like to report a landline problem. No dial tone for more than a week. 01908565552. No mobile phone signal either but that is another provider. Contact us by visit, VoIP or Twitter. Thank you.

  • RuthEllershaw RoofyToofy💙 (@RuthEllershaw) reported

    @Sandbach Happy 2 help. U helped me when you were our local AM in Denbigh. I'd been affected by the St Asaph floods. I fled my house in the clothes I stood up in. No ID. You helped sort out my broadband, when Plusnet were grossly difficult, so i could get my life sorted again. So gratefulx

  • Plusnet Plusnet (@Plusnet) reported

    @JentheHomeBird Hi Jen. I've checked back with our suppliers and they've advised that the problem in your area should now be fixed. Please let me know if you're still having any problems. Regards, Emily Plusnet Leeds

  • Sian_L_S Siân (@Sian_L_S) reported

    @Plusnet terrible speeds. Constantly losing connection. Really sick of this. Tried to call you and the number listed online says not in service?! Can you please arrange for someone to contact me back. Paying for broadband and using mobile data to send this! Frustrating.

  • Toonarmy19771 Andy McLaren (@Toonarmy19771) reported

    @Plusnet you're mobile network is down will I be compensated?

  • la_jellybean jj (@la_jellybean) reported

    @aaron_cane At this point, the speeds/consistency/prices are all basically the same for most people, so my advice is to choose based on customer service ratings. We have plusnet, and they're the first ISP I've used where I've actually enjoyed speaking to them. NEVER go to EE.

  • HannahPilbeam Hannah Pilbeam (@HannahPilbeam) reported

    @Plusnet please help!! I've had a total mobile blackout since this morning, no signal or data. I can't make any calls and I need my device for work and personal use!
