  • 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

  • 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

    @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 ..

  • 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

    @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 ...

  • 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

  • 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?

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

    @plusnet internet is down in the CW8 area.

  • 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.

  • 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 🙄

  • 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."

  • 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.

  • 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...

  • lizjonwilltom Liz Allen (@lizjonwilltom) reported

    @AFitzgerald1992 @Plusnet Because if the infrastructure we live with it would be too easy to overpay for a service that we’ll never get… 🥲 Would happily pay £30/month if there was any hope of getting the speeds that such a package is designed to deliver…

  • wilkinson_rich Richard Wilkinson (@wilkinson_rich) reported

    @Plusnet Hi Adam, the open reach engineer couldn't fix the problem today after 2 hours of trying. It is apparently a problem of terminating the old line from previous residents and needs Plusnet to fix. He recommended a stop start order. Is that something you can help with?

  • miss_ellie_may Ellie (@miss_ellie_may) reported

    @Plusnet hi could you please help test my internet speed? It seems to have gone much slower in the past week or so

  • jimmybonkers 𝕁𝕒𝕞𝕖𝕤 𝕃𝕚𝕘𝕘𝕚𝕟𝕤 (@jimmybonkers) reported

    @Plusnet Another idea to keep kids safe online? Order @Plusnet broadband, and they won’t have any internet to use at all. I ordered last month and still waiting after several calls into your customer services. Any chance of broadband this year? Should’ve gone with @SkyUK

  • DocTriumph Doc Triumph (@DocTriumph) reported

    Hey @plusnet, we have been without consistent broadband for 3 days now and I've narrowed it down to the router. Now we've had it a while since we've been with you but the website is incredibly obtuse about ordering a replacement. Help!

  • Plusnet Plusnet (@Plusnet) reported

    @Edwin67658867 Hi there Edwin and sorry for the delay in getting back to you, we don't supply 5G currently, please let me know if there's anything else we can help with though. - Adam - Plusnet Sheffield

  • MaddyThiel Maddy Thiel (@MaddyThiel) reported

    @Plusnet 5 weeks and still no internet - unresolved despite 20+hours on the phone and we can’t even leave this incompetent organisation. So much for “committed to excellent customer services”. Avoid this company if you can.

  • Laurawh03822190 Laura white (@Laurawh03822190) reported

    @veritysmart @Plusnet I am still chasing money taken randomly when I no longer have a service with them! I would avoid like the plague frankly

  • lizjonwilltom Liz Allen (@lizjonwilltom) reported

    @Plusnet @bradjhall Absolutely agree! Why aren’t you rewarding customer loyalty? happy to stay on the new customer rate even though a cheaper deal elsewhere, but loyalty counts for nothing. The best renewal deal is not available to view, I had to ring up, but I prefer to see details written.

  • veritysmart Verity Ⓥ ♿️💙🇺🇦🏳️‍🌈🇪🇺#FBPE (@veritysmart) reported

    @Plusnet Why oh why has my broadband gone up with no proper notice! Checked my billing and can see no reason for the increase, no calls or other charges to account for this increase. I’ve sent a complaint but I am sick of these surprise increases without warning. Not legal!
