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)

  • 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

    @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?!

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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)

  • 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.

  • MaxxNotBinary TheMaxxNotBinary (@MaxxNotBinary) reported

    @plusnet this is the second router you have sent me and it seems to have developed exactly the same fault as the first. Regularly dropping service and requiring a restart. What is the fix?

  • fatboy_no8 David Wilson (@fatboy_no8) reported

    @Plusnet If be happy getting the service I pay for, clearly this is too much to ask? Perhaps @BBCWatchdog might like to look at this? Plusnet blame Openreach, Openreach blame Plusnet. I can't complain to Openreach (although someone at Plusnet said I could and had to). Pity the consumer

  • Adrbees1 Adam Beesley (@Adrbees1) reported

    .@Plusnet No response? Typical of such a poor company with inept customer service.

  • bookgirl999 bookgirl999 (@bookgirl999) reported

    @Plusnet Hi, would you please be able look in to a mobile billing issue as I'm struggling to get through on the phones? My plan's changed but I'm still getting charged the old amount. Not a huge difference but it is incorrect.

  • carly_whitewood Carly Whitewood (@carly_whitewood) reported

    It also left us with no internet as they/@VodafoneUK didn’t cancel our cancellation with plusnet. I work from home & am self employed so this is pretty annoying. Vodafone kindly let us use a dongle for free for now but it’s not the best signal so I’m struggling. @CityFibre

  • RichfromSheff Rich Allen (@RichfromSheff) reported

    @ConstableChaos Even Sky aren't perfect, I went with them 4 months ago after ditching Plusnet (thanks to their annoyingly **** customer service drones), requested to keep the existing landline number, and they gave me a new one, which I recently had to change again.

  • Plusnet Plusnet (@Plusnet) reported

    @mc_steveo87 Hi there, sorry to hear you're having trouble with the connection and for the delayed response. Are you still having this issue or is everything working ok now? - Curtis, Plusnet Sheffield

  • PeterJDuckett Peter Duckett (@PeterJDuckett) reported

    @Plusnet Can you tell my why my account seems to be frozen when I log in? With the following error msg that a "phone order is in progress" I have been with you for over three years where has this come from, possible fraud? PS your website chatbot is crap chat to a human?

  • Plusnet Plusnet (@Plusnet) reported

    @SmilingClare Hi Clare. I'm so sorry for the delay in getting back to you and that your dad was without service. It can take up to midnight on the switching day for the port to complete. Is his service now working or is he still having problems? Regards, Emily Plusnet Leeds

  • Jockfirth John Firth (@Jockfirth) reported

    @Plusnet on holiday. App won’t work/sign in. Reset password twice. Still won’t work! #FirstHurdleFail #fail #FirstWorldProblems
