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)

  • 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 🙄

  • 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)

  • 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

  • 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

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

    @Plusnet Outage in Newcastle? No broadband since 8pm

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

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

  • jules_wink Julian from Marple (@jules_wink) reported

    @GiveMeSpace3 Separate out phone hardware vs service provider. Especially if buying refurb, it's usually cheaper to get sim-free phone and then sim-only contract. I use Plusnet, coverage and price is great but niggles like they don't support short code texts. Got last refurb phone from CEX

  • Farmo05 Caro JH 🇬🇧🇳🇴🇺🇸🇨🇦🇮🇱🇸🇪🇩🇪🇺🇦 (@Farmo05) reported

    @petemorristwit We used to have BT Broadband, but when costs shot thru the roof we went to PlusNet (believe a subsidiary of BT). We've never looked back. But can't advise on TV, but there are so many great streaming programmes now.

  • FlossyJem 🌠✩Lady✩Jemm✩🌠 (@FlossyJem) reported

    @TalkTalk I used to work for both #BT and #sky currently in contract in #plusnet with no issues... your door to door sales ppl telling me I don't need to worry... erm.. im not paying for two broadband...

  • Atkinson3424 Anthony Atkinson (@Atkinson3424) reported

    @Plusnet Hi I am a new customer but i dont know if i have made a mistake I placed the order on 10th received an email canceling my order on 16th so after i spoke to cs who said the order got stuck it but it will reset is this normal practice from Plusnet Have i made a big mistake

  • MonkeyPhantom17 Theo (@MonkeyPhantom17) reported

    @Plusnet My internet has been dropping on and off for two days, making work impossible. Your 'report a problem' broadband form is broken. There is nowhere in my account to find my landline number so I can use the automated text service. Please assist...

  • jlews Precious Nelson (@jlews) reported

    @Plusnet any updates on openreach incident IMT73825/22? Was supposed to be resolved by 13:16 but internet is still down. Is there a new estimated resolution time?

  • Mestaae Mark Oswald (@Mestaae) reported

    @Plusnet Nearly 48 hours later and still can't find out what's happening to my service after it was accidentally terminated during full fibre upgrade.

  • debbie2478 debbie mace (@debbie2478) reported

  • ItsMaddiehbu Maddie Forest🌲 (@ItsMaddiehbu) reported

    @Plusnet hi, is there an outage in Bath? Our router has been out since yesterday morning, we’ve tried resetting, restarting, unplugging, turning it off for long periods of time etc etc etc. The one light is basically constantly orange/red, and the broadband light flashes red.

  • Ian_67 Ian Pennock 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🍺⚽️🏁🏈 🏉🏎🏍 (@Ian_67) reported

    Appalling customer service from @Plusnet. Took over my 83 year old mothers line and have cut her off from both phone & Internet. My sister has spent weeks phoning them and all they say is will be sorted this week. It’s not yet you keep taking DD @Ofcom
