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

  • 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.

  • 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?!

  • 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)

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

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

  • 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 🙄

  • stevegaish stevegaish (@stevegaish) reported from Whickham, England

    @Plusnet Hi its Stevegaish. I have emailed on numerous occasions but still no resolution.

  • 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

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

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

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

  • 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.

  • counosboy counosboy (@counosboy) reported

    @Plusnet You do realise that online chat help is actually supposed to engage with the client? If all I’m going to get is an unhelpful Bot I’ll have to start looking for a new provider

  • 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.

  • revkes Kes Grant 💙🇺🇦 (@revkes) reported

    @Plusnet I’m tweeting out of complete frustration. I have been overcharged by you for months and months and months. I’ve spoken to several managers and it’s still not resolved. Maybe being this public will help?

  • rutheclements86 Ruth (@rutheclements86) reported

    @Plusnet hi - our internet is down, please could you DM and advise on when it will be restored as working from home is difficult. Have tried your online support but as we don’t have a landline it doesn’t work. Thanks!

  • WatsonGwen Gwen Watson (@WatsonGwen) reported

    Disappointed with @Plusnet. Having switched broadband and landline, 6 days on and still no landline. Even more frustrating is having my emails to customer support ignored. This is not a good start

  • Plusnet Plusnet (@Plusnet) reported

    @EddieRobson Hi Eddie, I'm really sorry to hear you're having trouble loading up Youtube. Is this happening on multiple devices and does the same thing occur when using another internet connection, like mobile data? -Tony Plusnet Sheffield

  • Martyn_Statter Martyn Statter (@Martyn_Statter) reported

    @manchester_pc As a resident of the Advent 2/3 building on PlusNet- its at least all of us with providers using openreach infrastructure. 200+ apartments in the building, but can't give the breakdown. Still down currently and having to use my mobile data to get work done. Its not fun.

  • ReneMillman Rene Millman (@ReneMillman) reported

    Having such trouble porting some mobile number over @Plusnet, some number work but no service, others seem to be stuck in limbo. Can’t even dial these without hitting voicemail or getting number unavailable. Very poor service so far.

  • 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
