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

  • 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 🙄

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

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

  • 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

  • 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)

  • 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)

  • 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.

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

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

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

    @Plusnet Outage in Newcastle? No broadband since 8pm

  • 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.

    @katycolbert @Plusnet Me too but blimey it's slow!

  • Wandering_Sue Sue (@Wandering_Sue) reported

    @Plusnet does you award winning customer service ever involve speaking to a customer or providing broadband?

  • JFW_Harry Lonely Ewok (@JFW_Harry) reported

    @Plusnet I have no internet connection and work from home. I've tried ringing multiple numbers, all tell me via an automated message youre busy and to ring back then hang up, the live chat person told me to message twitter....I've been trying for 2 hours, can someone help?

  • girl_mancunian MancunianGirl (@girl_mancunian) reported

    @Plusnet @OVLHSSociety How about you address those people who have been left without internet since 1am? Or explain why there is no overnight support? Or why your call centre won't answer calls? Or text messages go unanswered? Not. Good. Enough.

  • FumigatedSpace rach who? (@FumigatedSpace) reported

    @Plusnet is down, which is just brilliant as I work from home. Customer service line isn’t taking calls, and the Text Fault service doesn’t reply. Also anyone from Plusnet is yet to acknowledge there is a problem despite lots of people reporting the same thing. Ridiculously bad

  • Tecton18 Tecton (@Tecton18) reported

    @Plusnet I'm missing work now, and just got a "we may take longer than 20 minutes to get back to you text" a full hour after being told that the problem is within my home network. Which it is not Useless.

  • girl_mancunian MancunianGirl (@girl_mancunian) reported

    @Plusnet why are you responding only to individuals when you can clearly see, and your website confirms, that almost all your customers are down?

  • stayingaliveuk Michael de Groot (@stayingaliveuk) reported

    @Plusnet @OVLHSSociety Thank you Curtis the problem is why does it take over an hour from when your started to let all of us know. This is when your guys let yourselves down. You can’t claim award winning customer service when you do this. Just be honest with us we can clearly see it’s down!!

  • RuthDucker Ruth Ducker (@RuthDucker) reported

    Experiencing Internet outage @Plusnet via #johnlewisinternet .. my workday has just ground to a monumental halt. When working from home doesn't work. Suddenly realise I spend my entire day on video calls.. so I can safely say deadlines are not happening today.

  • anniesbellamy Annie Bellamy (@anniesbellamy) reported

    @Plusnet there are no updates from yourselves regarding the outage and with no way of contacting you I will now have to pay for a co-working space in order to do my job…will Plusnet cover this cost?
