  • 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!

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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

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

    @Plusnet Hello Emily & Plusnet team, just to confirm that when I arrived back on Saturday eve & my phone connected to the network,it worked for calls for the first time. It is now working fine thanks. Problem & mystery solved. So issue was not having connected in UK b4 going abroad. Kiron

  • 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?

  • 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. 😢

  • Kiefer1667 Marc Lancaster (@Kiefer1667) reported from St Helens, England

    @Plusnet hi, are there any issues in the wa11 area, cant find anything but phone says emergency calls only.....thanks...

  • 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

    @CalamityMum @Plusnet Cancel your contract, you have 14 days, they are an awful company. Internet is always dropping

  • JackieFoy6 Jackie Foy (@JackieFoy6) reported

    @plusnethelp help SIM card has still not arrived. Left with no phone as number has been ported over. Paying PlusNet & my old provider and PlusNet blaming Royal Mail, don’t think it was Royal Mail who activated SIM n ported number before costumer had received SIM!

  • harleyrusk chris whiterod (@harleyrusk) reported

    Hello @Plusnet do you have anyone in customer service today?@plusnethelp No landline or broadband currently 35 minutes on hold. Third repeat of Slade...

  • _Marc_74 Marc (@_Marc_74) reported

    @plusnethelp @martinsinclair4 @EccP16Biology waiting days just for a response to a dm...... never an issue with plusnet until you asked if i wanted to upgrade. they broke my connection and now you wont talk

  • Jenn585 Jenna Abbs (@Jenn585) reported

    @plusnethelp Signed up with you on 25th Nov - my old BT service has gone off today but I have no Plusnet router. Really frustrated as currently unable to work from home. Not a good start...😣

  • MaBBoTT90 Matthew Abbott (@MaBBoTT90) reported

    @plusnethelp @DaveMitchison Same here, and I’m a new customer, only joined plusnet on the 2nd of December. Every day it’s dropping out at least 3 times, last night it dropped out 7 times in the space of an hour! (World record). I am currently on hold with plusnet as I type. Almost 20 mins. Not good!

  • chrisroast chris roast (@chrisroast) reported

    @plusnethelp #randomservice openreach (not plusnet) contacted us about a 6hr break in service. 5 days later service is restored. Over that period data charges, no connectivity, no remote work. Plusnet no answer. Still waiting for customer service to at least apologise.

  • SamMurph72 Sam Murphy (@SamMurph72) reported

    @KateSlaterPR @Plusnet Doesn't surprise, iv been and still having appalling so called broadband service from them and equally appalling customer service- total attitude, not doing what they agree they'll do, cant speak to a manager and then cut off whilst on hold earlier! The business is a total joke!

  • jatroa Jatroa 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@jatroa) reported

    @chrisroast @plusnethelp Village spent six months in the Bermuda Triangle of Openreach, BT and plusnet. Pushed from company to company. One man had 11 visits. Each time told line ok. Eventually Openreach owned up. Problems in the station. BT wouldn’t pay to upgrade it.

  • finishedat39 not39 (@finishedat39) reported

    @plusnet So much for "customer service". No reply to DMs. No chat function. Lengthy call waits. Broadband speed less than half guaranteed.#ripoff
