    @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!

    @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 ...

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

    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

    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.

    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

    @Plusnet We are now into our 16th day of our phone and broadband outage issue and it is starting to affect my health both physically and mentally. Cancelling my DD today and going with another provider ASAP - plusnet can take me to court if they want.

    @Plusnet after two years of fantastic service from you, I have moved home and almost a month on I’m still waiting on my WiFi being installed. Hugely disappointing, furthered by no one answering the phone. Help please?

    @Plusnet router flickering on and off, did text message thing, apparently I need openreach engineer, one coming on Monday. Can’t I just speak to someone, can’t you get it fixed sooner somehow? What’s the issue?

    @jeremyhead I'm very sorry to hear that that's the case, Jeremy. I appreciate how inconvenient this must be. Are you still in Indonesia? If so, which network is your phone roaming on at the moment? Regards, Emily Plusnet Leeds

  • Customer_2022
    Neil B (@Customer_2022) reported

    @Plusnet We are now into our 16th day of our phone and broadband outage issue and I will be contacting OFCOM later to raise a complaint. I am reduced to using from a local co-working space at £24.00 per day which I doubt plusnet will refund.

    @jimmycobb_ @UniHomes @Plusnet Me and my house mates had the same problem, it ended up arriving 3 and a half weeks late, for it to not work. After several emails with UniHomes they offered us a £10 each compensation after we spent £100 on extra data. A joke.

    Amy (@AmyLizzi) reported

    @Plusnet 00:29am & my internet has gone down, router flashing red. Have turned it off/on, rebooted but after going blue for about 5 seconds it just goes red again?? … Any issues reported in the LE12 area??

    Cancelled my @Plusnet now, it shops the day BT put in their UC £9.99 Broadway. To be fair Plusnet service I've had no problem with, I was offered a cheaper new upgrade but still more than a tenner with BT. I'll go back to Plusnet if things change the future #CostOfLivingCrisis

    @Plusnet really disappointed as after 2 years of fantastic service, Plusnet have really let me down. Moved house almost a month ago and the engineer still has not arrived/I cannot get through on the phone. Help please?

    Swapping internet providers - Plusnet said our service would be maintained until 11th. Woke up this morning to no wifi connection, and our new router from Now hasn't arrived yet 😭😭😭
