    @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?

    @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

    @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 !!

  • 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 🙄

  • 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...

  • lynnwarbo
    lynn warburton (@lynnwarbo) reported from St Helens, England

    @plusnethelp just so you are aware plusnet have places ILLEGAL restrictions onto my account again and it is now my intention to take this issue further .. another disgraceful example of plusnets arrogance and utter lack of customer consideration !!!

  • 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

    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!

    @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.

    Dear idiots @Plusnet and also @EE as u both have done it this month, if my payment date is set to 6th of month trying to take payment on the 3rd and then restricting services for your **** up won't magically make my money come in 3 days early, both account show 6th so do it!

    @virginmedia I have sent a few private messages. None of you have responded and I must be talking to a wall when I say that someone has USED my address to set up a account with you. I am a sky customer and Plusnet customer

    @Plusnet my full fibre was supposed to be installed yesterday afternoon but nobody showed up. I called at 6pm and waited 30 mins to get through to be told they didn't know what was going on. Can you help?

    @Plusnet @ThatNeilMartin They asked for an email address. Your lack of email/ticket support is a major reason we left you.

    @Plusnet Hi, need to move a family member of PSTN and onto fiber. Do you offer a VoIP service to retain a 'landline' and can the existing number be kept. Thanks.

  • David297819311
    David (@David297819311) reported

    @EE rubbish customer service. Plusnet changed over my contract to you 2 weeks ago and each day I have to reset my Internet connection to sky. On hold for almost an hour tonight and no reply. I do not want online help I want to speak to a human who can explain why this happens.

  • sussexgirl3
    sussexgirl (@sussexgirl3) reported

    My sister who was with plusnet but was then changed to EE ( Both part of B.T.) It has taken 3 mnths but they have lost her landline , given another which means telling everyone. So Brit Telecom not world leaders in communication but champions of very poor service .

    Paul Kennedy (@paulx1v) reported

    @Plusnet just been informed by Openreach that it will be another six weeks before they can connect us to the full fibre network. Not particularly happy with that, anything you can do to help?
