  • 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 🙄

  • 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.

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

    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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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 ...

    @GFThompson7 @Plusnet The customer service is scandalous mate

  • punchymcslap Punchy McSlap ✍️ Drawn to Procrastination (@punchymcslap) reported from Birkenhead, England

    @Plusnet 24hrs without internet now, any sign of a fix?

  • 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

  • sirblackers Richard (@sirblackers) reported

    @Plusnet hello. My mum has moved and her mobile data has run out (I pay her bill). Can I get her a bolt on please? She’s actually just signed up for your WiFi (unlinked). Can you do anything to help? Thanks

  • Scampboi Daniel Smith (@Scampboi) reported from Croydon, England

    @plusnethelp @plusnet if this page was shut down in May why is the feed still here why have an account up which no one checks?

  • BeatLiturgist Tim Watson (@BeatLiturgist) reported

    Back in March @plusnet @plusnethelp cancel my account due to errors on my account. They restart me on a new account to continue my services. And then today I get a bill charging me £468 for terminating my accounts early (even though I am still with Plusnet). Come on sort it out!!

  • SDBtweets SDB 💙 (@SDBtweets) reported

    @Plusnet has the worst customer service I’ve ever encountered. Two weeks solid not internet, two further outages and when I politely explained my frustrations agent hung up on me! Do not go with this company

  • Scampboi Daniel Smith (@Scampboi) reported from Croydon, England

    @Plusnet for the second time in as many days my router has failed. It just randomly drops connection. I would never recommend you to anyone. In a time where people are working from home they need a reliable service and you are not it!

  • kafkatopia Ted Kaczmarek (@kafkatopia) reported

    @plusnet think it's normal NOT tell a customer when an engineer decides to cancel a house call

  • Yorky2860 Danny De La 🏔 (@Yorky2860) reported

    @delwright21 @pantsdanny @Wdpts Openreach look after the network, openreach is a sub company of BT kind of but treat all service providers the same. Sky,talk talk, BT,plusnet and sometimes virgin rent the lines off of BT. So BT are responsible for repair/maintenance etc.

  • blondiesa Blondiesa #DissolveTheUnion #UseTheMandate (@blondiesa) reported

    @Plusnet We are due for renewal .suffered low WIFI in Kinross not often reaching MBPS that we are paying for Do you put pressure on Outreach as it seems an on going problem with different suppliers If we stay with you would we get a new hub like new customers as ours is outdated

  • dianetay64 Diane Taylor (@dianetay64) reported

    @Plusnet really bad service! My elderly mum left for over 3 weeks without a land line phone! An engineer should have come this morning, still waiting!!! Not happy!

  • Robinwa69819580 Robin ward (@Robinwa69819580) reported
