    @Plusnet 2 days ago, I tweeted @plusnethelp. No response. Your support chat is permanently unavailable and I am not prepared to waste another half hour of my life in a call queue (unless of course I can bill you my std hourly rate). Please provide an efficient contact method.

  • JohnBeardon John Beardon (@JohnBeardon) reported from Oake, England

    @Plusnet 7 days ago, we enabled call diversion. Not active, not working. Service unavailable. Support requested @OpenreachHelp apply settings again last Thursday 'you'll get an email'. Guess what. No email and this service is not jolly well available 4 days later.

    How can I contact @Plusnet to cancel my broadband order this weekend? 21 days today since I placed the order and still no internet... phone number that claims to be 7 days a week is definitely telling me they are Monday to Friday when I ring. Online chat is offline...

  • ThreadsAplenty Joza Knights (@ThreadsAplenty) reported

    @Ipin_by_the_sea @AnnCleeves @virginmedia Agreed - we've been with Plusnet for 15 years and they're always brilliant on service and upgrades.

  • Ipin_by_the_sea Ipin (@Ipin_by_the_sea) reported

    @AnnCleeves @virginmedia Ann, We’re with Plusnet who are owned by BT and sorted out our recent issues without much drama.

  • DJ_JimmyK DJ Jimmy K (@DJ_JimmyK) reported

    @Plusnet @plusnethelp your Internet service this week has been appalling. The line keeps dropping out and causing constant interference with services. Could you please help accordingly.

  • PBarrett8 P Barrett (@PBarrett8) reported

    @cashbey @Plusnet @plusnethelp useless, just cuts out whenever their network can't cope and they just spend the whole time trying to tell you its something your end. If that is the only service they can provide then fine, i will take if for a fiver a month.

  • simonjhwilliams Simon Williams (@simonjhwilliams) reported

    @Plusnet WiFi on my router is broken & @plusnethelp said that you don't support WiFi on your routers! I was advised to buy 3rd party router to fix the problem. So I pay for a service but you don't support the thing that delivers that service. Shocking! & Rep blocked my complaint

  • PBarrett8 P Barrett (@PBarrett8) reported

    @Jack_WJB @Plusnet yep if we can just limp the network to 8pm then we can all go home and the users can whistle as the network falls apart around this ears.

  • afitzgeraldnhs Anthony Fitzgerald (@afitzgeraldnhs) reported

    @Plusnet @plusnethelp awful customer service - my 75 year old “Yorkshire Folk” father waiting for connection since Tuesday am - also spending my time on hold to awful music - it isn’t like the adverts that’s for sure !

  • T_J_Jones_1997 Thomas Jordan Jones (@T_J_Jones_1997) reported

    @bash183 @virginmedia You'll find internet provider routers/hubs are terrible for reliability and performance. I've had 3 from PlusNet over a 2 year period, gave up in the end and bought a Google Nest Router. No issues since

  • PBarrett8 P Barrett (@PBarrett8) reported

    any else have issues with @Plusnet connections after 8pm, after customer services have gone home and then they get back in its all fine again. Is this part of the business model. Combined with making people run about "trouble spotting" at home when the issues are in their network
