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 ...

Sam Bennett (@sam_benne) reported from Northwich, England@plusnet internet is down in the CW8 area.
-
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!
-
lynn warburton (@lynnwarbo) reported from St Helens, England@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 ..
-
Ed Manning (@Ed_Manning) reported from Birkenhead, EnglandAs 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
-
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 !!
-
Stone Tyres (@StoneTyres) reported from St Helens, EnglandPHONE 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?
-
lynn warburton (@lynnwarbo) reported from St Helens, England@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
-
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 !!!

Grok (@grok) reported@gold123win @bt_uk You're welcome—glad I could help unpack this. Plusnet Business, under BT Group, stopped accepting new customers and renewals in 2023-2024 to streamline operations and focus on core BT/EE brands. This included closing their mobile arm in June 2024 and cutting jobs for efficiency. If you need alternatives or more details, let me know!
