  • 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)

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

    @Plusnet Outage in Newcastle? No broadband since 8pm

  • 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

  • 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 🙄

  • 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

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

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

  • 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

    @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)

  • Katie14339433 Katie (@Katie14339433) reported

    @Plusnet Been having issues with our internet all day, and now it's turned off completely. It's flashing orange but the cables are plugged in correctly. We are a house of uni students needing to get assignments done, and currently we can't #plusnet

  • premleaguesteve Steve (@premleaguesteve) reported from Edenthorpe, England

    @Plusnet evening, our broadband is down, has been all day. Was working fine when we went to bed last night and this morning it wasn't working. Tried all the usual stuff. Turned it on and off etc, checked cables . Still nothing

  • TheBuzzBusby Lew Busby (@TheBuzzBusby) reported

    @Plusnet Hi, I am meant to be getting over 20mbps download speeds, however even when connected via ethernet this rarely gets into double figures (2mbps currently) could this be looked into. The text message service just says there is no fault on the line

  • Laurabean20 Laura Websdale (@Laurabean20) reported

    @Plusnet need help with my connection. Could you please help.

  • RachEKelly93 Rachel (@RachEKelly93) reported

    @Plusnet I am having issue with my Internet for the last two days and now it is showing orange all the time and I've tired restarting it and nothing is not working

  • mistymeana Patricia Round 🥀 ♿️ 🇪🇺 🌈 (@mistymeana) reported

    @poorscousertom @OpenreachHelp @Plusnet Take the complaint to Ofcom if you haven’t already. Good luck.

  • MoreLime More Lime (@MoreLime) reported

    @Plusnet 40 mins on hold with your terrible music. Seriously regretting signing up to 18 mnt contract switch from @johnlewishelp was supposed to be switched 22Nov no updates. Not impressed. How come @JohnLewisRetail calls were answered yours aren't yet same company!

  • mistymeana Patricia Round 🥀 ♿️ 🇪🇺 🌈 (@mistymeana) reported

    @poorscousertom @OpenreachHelp @Plusnet Oh dear. I’m afraid you can thank OFCOM for the Openreach response. They are prohibited from dealing with any problems directly with you as, technically, you are not their customer. It’s the responsibility of your service provider to sort it out for you. Frustrating I know.

  • EatRisky EatRiskyPie (@EatRisky) reported

    I asked them to cancel my account again as I never disconnected plusnet, I didn’t really want this fullfibre product. They said it was cancelled. Finally I was free.

  • EatRisky EatRiskyPie (@EatRisky) reported

    @gracegausden93 Help! I was told lies on my doorstep by a forceful saleswoman, as a vulnerable person living alone. @TalkTalk told me plusnet was closing down which panicked me. The router never came and I didn’t want the product so asked to cancel..
