    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

    @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 ...

    8 yrs with @sky no problems one month with @Plusnet billing issues. If you are thinking of switching to them give it a miss.

    @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!

    @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. 😢

  • 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 🙄

    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.

  • Paul_crannee

    @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.

    @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

    @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...

    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?

  • 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

    @Plusnet far from the award winning customer service you claim! Please also don’t blame Covid because sky’s customer service during the same period has been exemplary and reliable

  • concretebadger
    Martin is still staying at home (@concretebadger) reported

    @theshillito @Plusnet I'm so sorry to hear about all this. Even BT offer wireless hubs when they can't connect your broadband (which happened to me earlier this year)! I had a bad experience with Plusnet trying to overcharge me a few years ago after moving home. The ombudsman had to get involved!

  • jodie_m_brown
    Jodie Brown (@jodie_m_brown) reported

    @plusnethelp I tried to join plusnet with your Black Friday deals, and twice my order has failed because my current provider has rejected the switch request. Your phone lines are unavailable. How can I resolve this or cancel my subscription as this is such poor service?

    @theshillito @Plusnet That's lousy customer service, it's their mistake and they should be fixing it ASAP rather than fobbing you off.

  • AgentLittleP
    Paul #WhatDayIsItEdition (@AgentLittleP) reported

    @theshillito @Plusnet Tbh I'd cancel the contract and DD as your fully within your rights to do so, if they fail to see this you could get the ombudsman involved.. I really hate it when companies fob people off like @phya_manga said it just p***es me off just hearing about it!

    @AgentLittleP @Plusnet @phya_manga I called BT and they're setting us up with an alternative *today* and landline connection only a few days after Plusnet would. I am on phone to cancel contract and have already cancelled DD

    I will never ever go with @plusnet again and I would advise anyone I know to avoid them too. Can’t get in touch with any support unless I call up; live chat is offline constantly and tweets are constantly ignored.
