  • lynnwarbo 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 !!!

  • 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."

  • 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?

  • 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

  • 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!

  • lynnwarbo 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 ..

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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

    @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

  • 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.

  • 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 🙄

  • 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

  • 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 ...

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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

  • lynnwarbo 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 !!

  • 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...

  • katelettuce 🌱Kate Lettuce (@katelettuce) reported

    @MichaelRosenYes @virginmedia I was with virgin media once, never again. They make it almost impossible to cancel too. I’d recommend PlusNet, my connection with them has always been really reliable, and I stream all my telly.

  • BlinkinEll BlinkinEll (@BlinkinEll) reported

    @plusnethelp hi as I'm sure you will knie, the Plusnet customer service line has a recorded response stating 'cannot take calls, try tomorrow'. How do I get an update on my order / change from current provider to Plusnet please?

  • martinsinclair4 martin sinclair (@martinsinclair4) reported

    @Plusnet This company needs shutting down permanently it's illegal what they're doing not being able to provide an internet and phone connection is terrible I've cancelled my direct debit and refusing to pay a single penny until I have proper internet connection and phone line

  • eggdaddy Matt Spink (@eggdaddy) reported

    @BaronVonPleb I hear you buddy. Wish I had never left @Plusnet for @virginmedia - triple the speed for 50% more turns out was too good to be true!

  • MrsLcom1 Mrs_L.com (@MrsLcom1) reported

    Shocking customer service from @Plusnet rubbish speeds so slow @netflix won’t load can’t wait for contract to end... never again #wifi #slowinternetspeeds @plusnethelp

  • darkartofmother Emma (@darkartofmother) reported

    @Plusnet have an ongoing fault on broadband for over a month now. No response to my updates on the fault report or my texts and queuing for over 30 minutes in a hellscape of awful snippets of Christmas songs get through on your phones.

  • jhfwatson Jim Watson (@jhfwatson) reported

    @plusnethelp I have an issue with my broadband performance and having difficulty contacting you by phone (30mins on hold so far). I believe the exchange is the problem, not so much Plusnet. I am a very experienced data comms engineer.

  • matt303 Matt (@matt303) reported

    Dam looks like the @Plusnet Hub One does not allow you to set the DNS used, making using Pi-Hole a bit of a problem @plusnethelp

  • michele632 michele (@michele632) reported

    @plusnethelp my plusnet is down afsinin maidenhead. Is there a free number to call from a mobile? And what is the reason this is happening?

  • martinsinclair4 martin sinclair (@martinsinclair4) reported

    @Plusnet Please stay away from plusnet they are the worst internet provider going, I am now getting 2 X less speed than my previous supplier and 3 X less than their guaranteed speed, I've only been with them 14 days but they are horrendous company to deal with
