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

  • 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)

  • 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 🙄

  • Lizzyr59 Lizzy Robinson (@Lizzyr59) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @Plusnet Outage in Newcastle? No broadband since 8pm

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

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

  • 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

  • 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)

  • 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.

  • 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?!

  • fredspoon Philip 👌🏼 (@fredspoon) reported from Chester-le-Street, England

    Broadband down at home @Plusnet not great said there some fault needs and engineer.

  • 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

  • JustGayla_TTV JustGayla_TTV (@JustGayla_TTV) reported

    @Plusnet we've had two calls with you today regarding our internet continuing to drop out, I can't remain connected to the internet for more than 5 minutes before it drops out, reconnects, drops out and so on... It seems this may be a wider scale issue, can we get an update?

  • Adrienne_kewley Adrienne kewley (@Adrienne_kewley) reported

    @Plusnet @Plusnet Support question number #229369239 I’ve had to take to social media to try and get my problem resolved I seem to be getting ignored and not helped at all.

  • ShahHita Hita Shah (@ShahHita) reported

    @Plusnet please try to avoid going to plusnet,worst service ever.Having business account and no internet from last 6 hours been on call for ages and nobody knows what they are doing

  • dw8cp Damien (@dw8cp) reported

    I cannot stress how **** Plusnet WiFi is, literally don't play online MTTs anymore because of it it has already cost me so much. Also can't enjoy gaming with ******* dcing every 20 minutes man **** this

  • AndyPetty101 Andy Petty (@AndyPetty101) reported

    @Plusnet The actual issue was resolved within the timescale advised by your maintenance bot. My overriding issue was that your service status isn't updated. Had it shown there was an external fault that you knew about I wouldn't have wasted an hour trying to reset my router.

  • laf100 Lea Freeman (@laf100) reported

    @Plusnet you have told me there is a local problem with my broadband detected in 21st Nov & will not be resolved until the 5th - surely I must be compensated for this extended outage?

  • cavemanmartin Martin Caveman *WOKE* 3.5% 🔶#FBPE 🇫🇷🇬🇧🇪🇺 (@cavemanmartin) reported

    @Plusnet That was last week. My problem has been sorted. Thanks.

  • Adrienne_kewley Adrienne kewley (@Adrienne_kewley) reported

    @PlusnetOfficial @RunYorkshire @PlusnetOfficial I actually signed up with another provider but had a call from plusnet persuading me to stay with them and offered me a £75 reward card to do so, this is what persuaded me to stay, so I agreed to renew my contract. I then had to cancel with my new provider.

  • TheCEOexpert Roger Harrop (@TheCEOexpert) reported

    @Plusnet Hi Adam, Yes the signal both my wife and I never get more that one bar at home and often no signal atall which is hopeless. Just been to Norfolk for a few days and no signal atall there! I wish we hadn't moved from Vodafone.... 07900697160 & 07914988012 Roger
