  • 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?

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • 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 🙄

  • aitch5012 MickHoll (@aitch5012) reported from Liverpool, England

    @Plusnet hi my broadband was due to be transferred to my new address and go live today but I’m having a lot of issues. First I had a text saying it was to be delayed and now I’ve had a text saying to send back the router bcoz I’m no longer with plus net?? Could somebody plz help

  • 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.

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

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

  • 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

  • ice_manic Ice (@ice_manic) reported

    @Plusnet hello, new customer here. Not very happy, have come from BT where I have been for 10 years, speed always just under 40gb now with you it’s 17! I want to cancel in my cooling off period so I can move back to BT!

  • ejselley Ed Selley (@ejselley) reported

    @Plusnet When 5.6GHz is lost, it's apparent on Android, iOS and Windows so it's not a rogue element with my equipment here. Your router is broken and I really need a new one please.

  • wasiDublin Wasi tahir (@wasiDublin) reported

    @Plusnet my service still not active. Can u look into this plz. Acc.00005464366

  • ShelleyJAllen Shelley Allen (@ShelleyJAllen) reported

    @JamesWH85 @burbagea @virginmedia We're now on PlusNet, I've noticed no difference in the service. Very good speeds. You're not a gamer so don't really need those speeds. I'd say move with confidence.

  • Plusnet Plusnet (@Plusnet) reported

    @PhilDay82 Hi, thank you for your patience. This charge is the first months service up front, with no additional setup fee. Your next bill would then generate a month after your activation date. Sorry for the confusion. Dylan Plusnet Sheffield.

  • LaurennHolmesss Lauren Holmes (@LaurennHolmesss) reported
