    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 @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?

    @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

    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.

    @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 ..

  • 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

    @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 !!!

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

    @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 ...

  • 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

  • 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!

  • 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

    @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 !!

    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 🙄

    Today is my 6 month anniversary of ordering faster broadband from @Plusnet and ironically I get another lazy update from their support team that they are waiting another week from Openreach. Time to put a formal complaint in and get this referred to the Ombudsman!

  • AlexKnight68
    Alex Knight #FBPE #FBPA (@AlexKnight68) reported

    Hi @Plusnet, my caller ID has never worked. Your troubleshooting guide says to dial *#234# and I get the message "Sorry, the service requested is not available" even though caller ID is active on my account🤔. Please can you help?

  • ChrisRyan61
    Ollason (@ChrisRyan61) reported

    @Plusnet Well, after nearly three months from ordering broadband still has not been completed. More delays,....Absolutely disgusted with the way this issue has been dealt with - incompetent and no appreciation of the difficulties this is causing.

  • GeorgWestington
    George West (@GeorgWestington) reported

    @DonaldAG @simonharris_mbd The older Plusnet routers had awful WiFi which can result in poor performance.

    Smudge (@davidzsmith1) reported

    @Plusnet are you kidding me? Trying to cancel, left the country, you say we have to call, well no I opened on email why not close by email? So you say send letter, enclose info all except phone numb as no one uses house num anymore, now I get email saying you can’t verify? mad

  • Rchrdswn1975
    Richard Swain (@Rchrdswn1975) reported

    @Plusnet still without mobile signal. Told at first mast was fine, then told by email mast has failed. And that’s it.! No communication, no plan moving forward, silence. Offered a free month of phone network. Does not really help not having signal. Can’t even ring and discuss it

    Plusnet (@Plusnet) reported

    @Chris_Widgery Hello Chris hope you are well! I ran some tests and checked if there is problems in your local area however there is no fault found. Could you confirm that you are still facing broadband problems? Salik- Plusnet Sheffield
