    @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...

  • 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!

  • bricklandsfish Bricklands Fish, Seafood and Game (@bricklandsfish) reported from Chester, England

    @SteveTomlinson4 Ohh read you have to phone them to cancel.. just can’t switch. Anyway all sorted.. took 2 min online to switch to Plusnet. £96 a year saved

    @Plusnet Had a band and we tried real hard Jimmy quit, Jody got married I should've known we'd never get far #StartTheSummer

  • 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.

  • 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 🙄

  • 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

  • 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.

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

  • 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

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

    @GFThompson7 @Plusnet The customer service is scandalous mate

  • 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. 😢

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

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

  • 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?

  • 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."

  • 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.

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

    @Ofcom @ICOnews Unless you're a Plusnet customer - then there is no 7726 for you.

  • MBiolCalumSmith Calum Smith (@MBiolCalumSmith) reported

    Terrible service from @Plusnet they cancel our account and send debt collectors after money we don’t owe. Constant poor advice and communication #plusnet

  • theconsulargirl Claire Longhurst (@theconsulargirl) reported

    @plusnethelp Thank you but a bit too late. She's now blocked 0900 numbers but can't get a refund. Premium Rate numbers should be blocked by default with opt in. This poor lady has been conned out of £94 and Plusnet say it's her fault. Yet Plusnet has paid the money to the scammers. 😕

  • theconsulargirl Claire Longhurst (@theconsulargirl) reported

    @plusnethelp Well, that sucks for vulnerable people doesn't it? Still, I expect Plusnet gets its cut of the Premium Rate call fee, so they're alright...

  • plusnethelp Plusnet Help (@plusnethelp) reported

    @rayjburnside Hi Ray, my apologies for the inconvenience this has caused. Plusnet Protect is a free value added service, however there are wide choice of alternative anti-virus programs which you can use. -Tony

  • plusnethelp Plusnet Help (@plusnethelp) reported

    @flashgolding Hi, thanks for getting in touch, sorry to hear you want to leave Plusnet. Unfortunately we’re not able to cancel your contract here, please call our Customer Options Team directly on 0800 013 2632 and my colleague will be able to help. - Will.

  • countyIine ? (@countyIine) reported

    @thaharamii plusnet no issues at all

  • BriefcaseMike Briefcase Michael (@BriefcaseMike) reported

    @Hardennizen @Plusnet I was referring to Virgin cable TV. My broadband is with a different company so I don't lose that as well when Virgin goes down. Called not putting all your eggs in one unreliable basket.

  • hannahdilloway2 Hannah Dilloway (@hannahdilloway2) reported

    @Plusnet are there any issues this evening? I'm having loads of internet connection issues?

  • verflucht Mr A$AP Verflucht Esq. (@verflucht) reported

    have essentially got a monopoly on internet in UK, unless you're with Virgin, you are getting your internet from BT. Like if someone is like "I hate BT, now I get my internet from TalkTalk/PlusNet/EE/whatever, and the service is so much better", I always have to bite my tongue
