    @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?!

  • GazPottsy G:Potz (@GazPottsy) reported from Morpeth, England

    @spazdiv I had Plusnet for around 6 years with no problems at all. Very fast and reliable. Only moved to Sky because it was a very cheap deal.

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

    @Plusnet You would have thought that before switching me from my old supplier (a day early) that you could have delivered your router to me wouldn't you? Basic stuff really. Now no broadband at all and wish I hadn't bothered. "Award winning customer service" are useless too.

  • RichfromSheff Rich Allen (@RichfromSheff) reported

    @ConstableChaos Meh, in December 2020 I told Talk Talk to *******, the Indian call centre was doing my head in, and I took my Fibre and Landline to local firm Plusnet, the Fibre was too slow, the Landline didn't work. I'm now with Sky for everything except mobile.

  • AussieSimon Simon Fletcher (@AussieSimon) reported

    @Plusnet So it turned out the router had been delivered to a neighbour. No message to say this though, no tracking information available, no one answering your “help line”, and 2 days to respond to a tweet, is a bad first experience

  • Jockfirth John Firth (@Jockfirth) reported

    @Plusnet on holiday. App won’t work/sign in. Reset password twice. Still won’t work! #FirstHurdleFail #fail #FirstWorldProblems

  • bookgirl999 bookgirl999 (@bookgirl999) reported

    @Plusnet Hi, would you please be able look in to a mobile billing issue as I'm struggling to get through on the phones? My plan's changed but I'm still getting charged the old amount. Not a huge difference but it is incorrect.

  • judgesmobile John Judge (@judgesmobile) reported

    @TalkTalk Need FTTP that everyone else is offering, all i can get from talktalk is fiber 65 which is not FTTP, Vodafone, sky, plusnet and BT all offer this, I cannot get through on your customer helpline.

  • Kris08860201 Kris (@Kris08860201) reported

    @Plusnet Thanks Emily, I presume there no cost involved to use this service / app. Everyday I get at least 3 Chinese speaking calls from different numbers as block them, all it show on screen is mobile number & United Kingdom. Sick idiots! Nothing better to do in life!

  • bromleyj Jonathan Bromley (@bromleyj) reported

    @katebevan @Crundwell @Plusnet I get this too, on my otherwise excellent and reliable PN 80/20 service. But of course the bit that's dropping out isn't PN at all - it's BT Openreach's exchange-to-cabinet-to-home stuff. I suspect you'd get exactly the same with any other provider using the same BTOR last-mile.

  • SmilingClare Clare (@SmilingClare) reported

    @Plusnet He has now got service thanks.

    @SaarfLondonBird Hi Lorna. I'm sorry for the delay in getting back to you. I hope that you enjoy your cruise! Our Roam Like at Home service doesn't include roaming whilst at sea and we don't offer any bolt-ons for this, I'm sorry that this is the case. Regards, Emily Plusnet Leeds
