Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Sunderland and nearby locations:

  • Johnad25 John Adams (@Johnad25) reported from Durham, England

    From recent experience I can confirm this tweet is total nonsense. I’m moving all of my services elsewhere. Customer service 0/10, shambles. I suggest you all check if you can get a better deal elsewhere. (@Plusnet expect my call)

  • LeDreamboat Scott ⚫️⚪️ (@LeDreamboat) reported from Sacriston, England

    Don’t ever get @Plusnet broadband! Tried to cancel within 14 days of it going live due to it being absolutely useless, to then be told the cooling off period was from when I signed up!! 🤬. (Had to switch the WiFi off to tweet this)

  • mouse5555 Lynn Dixon (@mouse5555) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @Plusnet Don’t worry about it plusnet doesn’t work for long enough for anyone to have issues with safety

  • BlocknBottle Block & Bottle (@BlocknBottle) reported from Walker Gate, England

    @Plusnet HELP! Our internet’s gone down, how can we get it up and running in the next 1 hour and 11 minutes before we open?!

  • 2012neil2012 Outdoorsey (@2012neil2012) reported from Dunston, England

    @Plusnet I am having issues with my home WiFi connection since doing a separate password change on my plusnet online account. Do you have an email address I can send router reference images to , to discuss / resolve? Many thanks

  • HannahRose1401 Hannah Jeffrey 🇪🇺 (@HannahRose1401) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    Has your Internet gone down @plusnethelp @Plusnet? NHS worker struggling to work from home here.

  • Johnad25 John Adams (@Johnad25) reported from Durham, England

    @benjymous @Plusnet Sounds much more like it from their customer services. I’ll try and use the referral code if I can, but it may clash with the Bluelight discount my wife gets. Gouging a #keyworker in a global crisis isn’t classy thanks again @EE.

  • remenos Joanne Emerson (@remenos) reported from Sherburn Hill, England

    @PickGS @Plusnet @plusnethelp It’s blatant profiteering - I need broadband to work from home and I’m now paying £35 instead of £22 - and to think their selling point was excellent UK customer service 🙄

  • gregorybaser Gregory Baser (@gregorybaser) reported from Plymouth, England

    @Plusnet Once again. no broadband, more minusnet than plusnet. No help available until tomorrow. More than dissatisfied and disappointed. 😔

  • Depeche66 Prima Donna (@Depeche66) reported

    @Plusnet Hi Plusnet. My SIM is being sent to incorrect address (typo), and your call centre says to wait 2 days to change it on your system. Is that correct? My SIM will be sent to wrong address in the meantime. This is for a new order. Please help. Thank you.

  • HexadB n (@HexadB) reported

    @Plusnet Hi, can I get some help with my attempt at joining? I have an email saying “Unfortunately, we’ve not been able to proceed with your order based on the details you provided during sign-up.” No clues about what’s wrong!

  • knee_peas TheAJMason (@knee_peas) reported

    @Hollydunne @AmazonHelp Excellent, you would have thought BT & plusnet would have at least let us all know. Happy to help.

  • lydia_wales Lyd (@lydia_wales) reported

    Just about had enough with @Plusnet!! Over 3 weeks without wifi, 2 engineers out and countless hours on the phone and on hold! And trying to give me a £50 bill for a service I ain’t had access too! Absolute joke!!! 😡

  • systematicdata AL (@systematicdata) reported

    @bt_uk @Plusnet you really need to get the problem with YouTube and your parental settings sorted. Had to turn parental controls off to get on the TV app and the website. Thousands of people reporting problems on down detector.

  • FRH411TBMWR807 Philip Ashcroft (@FRH411TBMWR807) reported

    Can anyone explain why #shellenergybroadband never answer the phone? Their chat area is as bad for customer support. In fact after losing two hours of my life hanging on because "they value my custom" it's been quicker to change supplier to #plusnet

  • i_am_softlad ⓈⓉⒺⓋⒺ Ⓖ (@i_am_softlad) reported

    @EddieRobson @Plusnet I'm with @Plusnet and I've just accessed YouTube with no issues at all. I'm in SE London for what it's worth.

  • VanKellett Barry Kellett (@VanKellett) reported

    @systematicdata Thanks for this - Would never have figured it out otherwise. What a weird decision from BT and plusnet

  • oliviawood01 OLIVIA MORGAN (@oliviawood01) reported

    @Plusnet I’ve sent you a DM but haven’t had a reply. Another payment has been taken today and my service ended in March
