    @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.

  • 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)

    @Plusnet Sounds like you definitely need to look into this??? That's what you've been doing since we first signed up. If you read the original tweet it states what has been done so far. A complaint has now been logged because contracts should work both ways!!!! @Ofcom

  • NavaronePage69 LunarSlayer | Lily (@NavaronePage69) reported

    okay, wifi works. i would like to burn plusnet HQ to the ground but knight every single support staff they have

  • Oxfordite Rupert wilson (@Oxfordite) reported

    @nw_nicholas @Plusnet I have seen homes lacking a modern NTE5, split-face, master socket, with a very old 1970s PostOffice ‘BT’ rounded rectangular termination/junction box where the telephone line comes in.. this can be a problem. What did OpenReach check?

  • DamianPHughes Damian Hughes (@DamianPHughes) reported

    @Plusnet Sorry, that should say 4th day with NO mobile phone service.

  • NavaronePage69 LunarSlayer | Lily (@NavaronePage69) reported

    Finally time to sleep I think. Been at WiFi all day and I can confirm, I won't be recommending plusnet to anyone this is stupid and I hate being this anxious and angry over a plastic box with a blinky light. Gonna be a big girl and phone them, and get it sorted then

  • nw_nicholas Mr Ethical (@nw_nicholas) reported

    @Oxfordite @Plusnet New router - speed is fine, just that the router goes down frequently, all sorts of flashing lights

  • Oxfordite Rupert wilson (@Oxfordite) reported

    @nw_nicholas @Plusnet Which, presumably, has PlusNet finger OpenReach capacity issues (Did OpenReach attend at such a busy time to see the reality?), or to ponder REIN, which is more common at times of high power consumption/devices powered on/off.. Do power cables share poles with telephone wires?

  • DamianPHughes Damian Hughes (@DamianPHughes) reported

    @Plusnet Last day of November, and the day with NO mobile phone service. There is also no clear way to find relevant information on service status. I have no idea why the service is down, or whether it is widespread. Can you enlighten me and say when service will be resumed? SK23 area

  • Oxfordite Rupert wilson (@Oxfordite) reported

    @nw_nicholas @Plusnet Checked your wifi or your Internet connection? How old is the router? What fault do Plusnet suggest is occurring? Eg. REIN? Is speed up/down the issue? Do you monitor this to see if it is linked to weather (such as rain getting in to BT junction boxes)?

  • GS_Designer GB (@GS_Designer) reported

    No signal with @Plusnet in SK23 for 4 days now - what's happening?
