  • 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?

  • 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. 😢

  • 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.

  • 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

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

  • 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

  • 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...

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

    @GFThompson7 @Plusnet The customer service is scandalous mate

  • 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.

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

  • EvadneyC Evadney Campbell MBE (@EvadneyC) reported

    @simonbg12 @Plusnet @Ofcom I switched to Virgin and had no amount of problems initially too. Seems to have settled down over the last few days but I'll see.

  • Ateasix Chris (@Ateasix) reported

    @Plusnet Any reported issues in the Colchester area? Came home to find my router flashing orange. Only had it a month or so

  • CJGreeneee Chris Green (@CJGreeneee) reported

    @Plusnet Hi. Can I check....if I am cancelling my broadband contract with you, does my mobile SIM deal continue as it is, or is there a change as no longer a broadband customer? Thanks

  • adjwilson Alex Wilson (@adjwilson) reported

    @Plusnet I phoned your customer service line and it seems it's a problem that comes up a LOT around major events. Very disappointing no one's bothered to prioritise fixing it, considering it seems to annoy so many customers. You're owned by the same company!

  • Plusnet Plusnet (@Plusnet) reported

    @Xallkz I'm sorry to hear about the issues you are experiencing. Please could you direct message us your username and we will investigate this for you. Dylan Plusnet Sheffield.

  • Baino_63 Mark Bainbridge (@Baino_63) reported

    @Plusnet Shocking customer experience. My elderly in-laws have now been without phone or internet for a week as you’ve apparently messed up/duplicated their number. Still no idea when service will be restored. Anyone considering plusnet as a provider - JUST DON’T.

  • kandjking Kevin King (@kandjking) reported

  • daniellenichols Danielle Nicholls (@daniellenichols) reported

    @Plusnet Thank you but as my account is now closed I go through a continuous login process? Can you advise as it appears my account no longer exists?

  • tomastakutyte tomato (@tomastakutyte) reported

    @Plusnet worst customer service experience. First you botch a home move, then you prevent me from being able to raise a complaint and then one of your reps not only doesnt let me speak but then pretty much calls me a liar!
