    @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!

  • 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."

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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. 😢

  • 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.

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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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?

  • george_bibby George Bibby (@george_bibby) reported

    @Plusnet I need to cancel my contract and am not willing to call you to go through your sales pitch. Please advise what information you need in order to cancel my contract. Ps it's ridiculous that an Internet supplier does not have a direct way to contact them online!!!

  • Trundles_bot 🆃🆁🆄🅽🅳🅻🅴🆂 (@Trundles_bot) reported

    Just had a terrible interaction with @Plusnet. I was trying to report that my router had died. The first phone menu options were: 1⃣ Calling about broadband 2⃣ Calling about mobile (I chose 1)

  • deborahparryuk Deborah Parry (@deborahparryuk) reported

    @Plusnet I’m a new customer. Why is my account still not up and running when I ordered my sim from you on 20/07/22?!? No one can give me answers! I’ve been without a phone for days and you’re holding my number hostage as you can’t give me a PAC code so I can’t even go elsewhere!

  • blackgold631 blackgold63 (@blackgold631) reported

    @Plusnet Hello Plusnet, I am a broadband customer, I am also deaf and wears a hearing aid I normally pay my bills online but with the new MasterCard validation system I cannot pay online so I pay over the phone. Now at this moment my hearing aid is faulty and I cannot use it

  • ElenameAF ElenaF (@ElenameAF) reported

    @plusnethelp there is no way of communicating with Plusnet except by waiting in a queue on the phone or this way. PLUSNET you keep on cancelling my cancellation of the contract . I am leaving you and moving to BT - after 5 years waiting and a complaint to Openreach to resolve

  • JamesTurner37 James Turner QC (@JamesTurner37) reported

    @Adam_Creme @CarmanDominic @Plusnet My problem in changing broadband provider is that I have my TV from Virgin and I don’t think they have a package for TV without broadband.

  • orchard_end Ian Watson (@orchard_end) reported

    @Plusnet if the site looks at that ( eg Apple ) Is there a fix to tell the sim what number it now is please.

  • philwells_iow Philip Wells (@philwells_iow) reported

    @Plusnet our broadband has been down since 1pm yesterday due to “a local incident”. You said it would be back up and running by 7pm yesterday. Didn’t come back on. Text then said it would not be back on until 7pm today. Does it really take that long?

  • masheik sheikrazak (@masheik) reported

    Good morning. I want to cancel one of my contracts with plusnet. I received STAC code which I will not use. I am not planning to take contract with new provider. I called to discuss this but got response as the line closed. Could you please close the contract account no 98888497.

  • Jombru Jom (@Jombru) reported

    @Plusnet home internet down for the better part of a week, router setup correctly. Spent ages on the phone to customer support and it did begin working this afternoon, but now it's gone again. Help. Please.
