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

    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)

  • 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?!

  • 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 🙄

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

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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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

  • daveonlimegreen Dave (@daveonlimegreen) reported

    @Plusnet help. Our internet speeds are really poor and always have been. Online checks tell me that the meany virgin I can get min 54mbps. And I only get 3-5 with plusnet. Surely that’s not right that yours is so slow? Please help. Think of the children!!

  • shaun_tyssen Shaun Tyssen (@shaun_tyssen) reported

    @Plusnet hi guys, any known issues in York, YO30 area, can't get any connection and the router is showing a solid orange light

  • Dan11322159 Dan (@Dan11322159) reported

    @ShelaghFogarty Seriously go to Plusnet if you want great support. I've been with them years now and if I ever needed help (I've had to call twice in that time) you are through to support in minutes 👍

  • mrparker666 mrparker666 (@mrparker666) reported

    @CravenHarrogate I wanted to sign up to the BT one, but Plusnet won't let me cancel my 18mnth contract

  • Mark_Prestage drifting in lowercase (@Mark_Prestage) reported

    @plusnet Is there problems with your broadband in the TN12 postcode area? Woke up and my router is solid orange, tried to reset to no avail.

  • Kjvincent1979 Kev (@Kjvincent1979) reported

    @triscoe @Plusnet I moved to them as Tiscali merged, so stayed under their arm but with a new name All was fine till issues then I struggled to get stuff sorted. Though that is similar with other providers

  • custardwarrior Aaron hassan (@custardwarrior) reported

    Just signed up with @Plusnet for 24.99 a month for 18 months and with a 60 quid reward card for fibre not bad considering I was paying EE 38.18 for the same kind of service which is over 5 quid more then they say the basic is online

  • DionneM1 Dionne M (@DionneM1) reported

    @Plusnet I googled to fix in the end. Thanks for following up. But why have there been so many issues lately?
