    @Plusnet hello, my internet has kept cutting out all day again. My postcode is M5 4SG. This is happening far too frequently. Can you please fix it? When this happened last time you were able to fix it remotely instead of sending an engineer so hope that’s possible. Thanks

  • 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.

    @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.

  • alexjb24 Alex 🐝 (@alexjb24) reported from Salford, England

    @Plusnet @plusnethelp hi, my broadband service today and yesterday has been shocking. It has cut out 8 times in the past 3 hours alone which is unacceptable as I need it to work from home (so I’ve had to use loads of my mobile data allowance). Can you please tell me when I 1/2

  • jamesksowerby Sups Like a Sumerian. (@jamesksowerby) reported from Bolton, England

    It has been a rubbish online week with the internet down for hours, with @Plusnet still charging, and my relying on my mobile signal more than usual

  • Cavakaggy cavakaggy (@Cavakaggy) reported from Walkden, England

    @Plusnet mobile signal has been useless since Christmas, other users are also reporting this advise

  • 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?

  • nickhornbee Nicholas Hornby (@nickhornbee) reported from Manchester, England

    @Plusnet hi my internet has been down since midday. Is there an outage?

  • Siftah John Baxendale (@Siftah) reported from Manchester, England

    @adechapmanlaw Problem is their phone line is crap, so PlusNet (who they were previously with) also would never get the phone line sorted and they were left with the same crappy speeds. Have signed them up with Sky fibre for less than they were paying for ADSL!

  • nebzy17 nebzy (@nebzy17) reported from Manchester, England

    @Plusnet Stop arsing around with this crap and answer my message to @plusnethelp - Why you got staff on football polls???? 💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩

  • WIG1932 WIG1932 (@WIG1932) reported from Up Holland, England

    @Plusnet any issues in WN8? Download has dropped to just above 1 over the past few days. Nothing seems to fix the issue. It’s painfully slow and well below what I’m paying for. Any help appreciated!

  • joniredchops Joniredchops (@joniredchops) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia Cancelled yesterday. Was happy at £25 a month. Looks like we're off to Vodafone or Plusnet for £22. Shame really, been a decent service.

  • micahscotttt mary queen of thots 🥦Ⓥ (@micahscotttt) reported from Manchester, England

    Bit **** how I’ve been on the phone to plusnet around 6 times now regarding my broadband which isn’t working and after failing to phone me back like they promised yesterday they finally report it as a fault in the line which could take 3-5 days to be addressed.

  • MiguelGilbert24 Miguel Gilbert (@MiguelGilbert24) reported from Manchester, England

    @Plusnet you are the worst I ever used. I just want things to come back to normal so I can change ... never use #plusnet it’s the worst. Slow... expensive ... and no response if you call

  • 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...

  • Natwatson78 Natalie Watson (@Natwatson78) reported from Whittle-le-Woods, England

    @Plusnet just wondering if services are down please PR6 7FH ?

  • 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. 😢

  • LucyLoopy86 Lucy Willis (@LucyLoopy86) reported from Standish, England

    @Plusnet what is going with the service tonight … I switched to you being told your better … but nope crap internet still 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

  • marcella_golan Marcella Golan (@marcella_golan) reported

    Receiving the most abysmal service from @Plusnet and @OpenreachHelp - now no internet for over 1 month. Last week I was finally notified an engineer would visit today, with a lack of confidence I called to check to be told there is no appointment booked! Simply not good enough!

  • rootyroodting Humanarist (@rootyroodting) reported

    Is there a worse Internet provider in London than @Plusnet? How are these companies allowed to operate? They should be shut down and leave it to the main players

  • the1retreat Mike Gilbert (@the1retreat) reported

    @Plusnet Still extremely angry that Plusnet insists on charging an early termination fee given the appalling broadband experience I had with you.  Why credit my account for poor broadband delivery then insist on a charge to leave after 2 miserable months ?

  • Owlstalk OWLSTALK.CO.UK ⚽️ (@Owlstalk) reported

    @owl4life1867 I'm on Plusnet - they're fantastic I live in an old building and they're the only company that got me decent internet speeds where others failed Customer service good too

  • jackwbmusic Jack Bennett (@jackwbmusic) reported

    I realise everyone has different experiences, but I cannot rate the @Plusnet customer service highly enough. Efficient doesn't come close. (Here's hoping this tweet doesn't jinx it!)

  • TommyHalliwell TheReal TomHalliwell (@TommyHalliwell) reported

    @Official_Horner @Plusnet They were useless with customer service and getting the Internet on...but once its on and working no complaints

  • the1retreat Mike Gilbert (@the1retreat) reported

    @Plusnet Nearly 120 dropouts ( after the initial 10 day period ) , 2 routers , 3 engineer visits. Numerous calls to support and tweets. This is not normal. Then to be charged £87 to leave is the final insult.  Shame on you Plusnet.

  • fordhambradley bradley fordham (@fordhambradley) reported

    @Plusnet we are still waiting on our router. service started yesterday....

  • lucyrh Lucy (@lucyrh) reported

    @Plusnet My internet is down again. North Yorkshire. Tried calling unsuccessfully last week. Not a happy customer!

  • Euro6times Paul_Gamble (@Euro6times) reported

    @scousepower_19 @virginmedia I’ve had Plusnet for years. Customer service is first rate as well
