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

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

  • 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 🙄

  • JayneyBarnes Jayne Barnes (@JayneyBarnes) 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

  • 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!

  • 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

  • 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...

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • sam_benne Sam Bennett (@sam_benne) reported from Northwich, England

    @plusnet internet is down in the CW8 area.

  • 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 ...

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

    @GFThompson7 @Plusnet The customer service is scandalous mate

  • LisaWeeks9381 Lisa W (weird mum of 2) 💪💖 (@LisaWeeks9381) reported from Birkenhead, England

    @jolliehaybowes @Plusnet Cancel the direct debit. "I'm sorry plusnet, my account seems to be working fine."

  • 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

  • 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.

  • mrcflknr Marc Faulkner (@mrcflknr) reported from St Helens, England

    @Plusnet Very disappointed by the attitude of one of your agents when calling today with my Mum to change her payment details. She’s partially sighted and needs my assistance with reading details, yet this wasn’t acceptable and the woman was incredibly rude. 😢

  • 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?

  • KironReid Kiron Reid (@KironReid) reported from Liverpool, England

    @Plusnet Hello Emily & Plusnet team, just to confirm that when I arrived back on Saturday eve & my phone connected to the network,it worked for calls for the first time. It is now working fine thanks. Problem & mystery solved. So issue was not having connected in UK b4 going abroad. Kiron

  • Kittygrizzle Moira Shepherd (@Kittygrizzle) reported

    @OpenreachHelp About 50 people have already done so for every different service provider, including BT, EE, Talk talk, Plusnet, Vodafone.Not all the service providers can have crashed simulataneously. There was a big local fb conversation about it. Is this just a delaying tactic?

  • DocCawley Laura Cawley (@DocCawley) reported

    @OpenreachHelp @Kittygrizzle Seems a very big coincidence that multiple providers all go down at the same time??? EE, plusnet , Vodafone....all been contacted. I think the issue lies with @OpenreachHelp but I’m no expert 🧐

  • BV_BAPHOMET VĘGÄN¤BĀPHØMĒT (@BV_BAPHOMET) reported

    Been nearly 3 weeks now that I signed up with @Plusnet and still don't have broadband. Can't ring CS as apparently they're closed 2 hours earlier than stated. As a new customer the service so far is abysmal.

  • staceyv50 Stacey Vial (@staceyv50) reported

    Having lots of issues with @Plusnet lately. They rang me on the 23rd to say the issues had been fixed. My internet has gone down every night since receiving that call, including twice tonight, roughly an hour apart. @plusnethelp what is going on?

  • hannahsayles1 hannah sayles (@hannahsayles1) reported

    @plusnethelp when I switch on wifi on my device it sends me to a plusnet sign in page with settings what am I supposed to do?

  • lori_sutton lori sutton (@lori_sutton) reported

    @Plusnet how do I send you a direct message I’ve got serious problems.......with my connection

  • Jonnyreggieash Jonathan Ash (@Jonnyreggieash) reported

    @Plusnet very slow connection and can’t speak to anyone about it 🤨

  • helen_c_cook Helen Cook (@helen_c_cook) reported

    @Plusnet No internet for 3 days since Christmas morning. No success in solving problem myself and no answer on the helpline despite waiting for hours. Not happy 😡

  • whelan78 Simon Whelan (@whelan78) reported

    @Plusnet Question is how on earth do I get in contact with you!??? Online automated bot is useless and directs you to call...call and your advised your call can’t be taken and to call back later! Not good at all considering I’m a new customer!

  • bpcooper36 Ben Cooper ‘BC1’ (@bpcooper36) reported

    @Plusnet @plusnethelp no WiFi now for 48hrs, in S10. Kids presents are WiFi dependent. My job is stressful enough and the moment. Kids homework all online. Home schooling first week back in January. Unhappy customer. Please fix ASAP.
