  • 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

    @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.

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

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

  • 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)

  • 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

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

    @Plusnet Outage in Newcastle? No broadband since 8pm

  • 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?!

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

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

  • 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 🙄

  • MillSussex RuthS (@MillSussex) reported

    @Plusnet To be honest, I find your 'cheery' comments, such as this one, very offensive! We pay for a decent broadband service which you never provide. It's down far more often than not. We are seriously thinking of leaving you.

  • OlympusAchilles Achilles (@OlympusAchilles) reported

    @Plusnet It’s pointless. The amount of times we’ve called and sent messages and it never helps.

  • laurenwllms Lauren (@laurenwllms) reported

    @Plusnet Hi, since we last spoke the internet is extremely intermittent. Are there any issues?

  • desisla47510875 desislava (@desisla47510875) reported

    @Plusnet my internet has been terrible. I am new customer and since I moved to plusnet the internet stops or is very slow. I spend all day on zoom working and can't have even one normal meeting!!! Very disappointing

  • AinaaQaiser Zahra Qaiser (@AinaaQaiser) reported

    @Arian06Hbr @Plusnet The worst Internet ever since we joined this service. Most of the time wifi is down with slow or weak signals. No wifi for more than 2 hours.

  • HeadlessHorus Andy 🏆 (@HeadlessHorus) reported

    @Plusnet why is it so difficult to report a fault? My BB has been down for 2 hours and I need a line test running. My phone is working fine, as it has been on the last 3 faults.

  • MillSussex RuthS (@MillSussex) reported

    @Plusnet We phoned up earlier to say what our problem was, only to be told that our service was fine, so our laptop must be faulty! Strange that, because on the brief occasions when it we do have a service, our laptop works perfectly!

  • Christy24576284 Christy Anderson (@Christy24576284) reported

    @Plusnet Very disappointed. I’m being charged £32.88 for a broadband package I didn’t ask for! I called to inform you I will be cancelling my contract two weeks ago due to extremely poor service and now you’re going to charge me double what I used to pay?! Outrageous.

  • keletkezes Dawn Hazle (@keletkezes) reported

    @Plusnet Oh sorry Lauren @Plusnet, we got the problems sorted without further input and I totally forgot about this! So, just the email needs updating :D I also encountered a 404 but I can't remember what it was now XD

  • FEDUP97560900 FEDUP (@FEDUP97560900) reported

    @Plusnet I have worked through your router for years, with NO PROBLEM, but your rep said you do not support VPN - I have worked on same computer and same router for years and it has been fine THERE IS A CABLE FAULT
