    @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.

  • 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

    @Plusnet This reply is ingenious. You were down from midnight through to the point of resolution. To say it was a short time rub salt into the wound. I suggest whoever signed off on this generic reply revisits their customer service training. #plusnetdown #plusnet

    @Plusnet Hi Beth, Even as a plusnet customer, my service has been fine today. I was wondering if you could explain what a "webage" was? :-) Thanks

  • Jon_Two Jon Morris 🇪🇺💙 (@Jon_Two) reported

    @Plusnet I'm back on now, thanks. It would be useful if you could update the service status page because I always check there to see if the problem is just me.

  • bmc875 I'm the messenger. Fire away! (@bmc875) reported

    Interwebby been down all morning. Had to call in the heavy mob. #Plusnet Got there eventually. Nothing I had done.

  • books0507 books0507 (@books0507) reported

    @SaffyButtons @Plusnet I fortunately have a dongle from work but it’s very slow, not ideal.

  • taniacarlow Tania (@taniacarlow) reported

    @Plusnet when will the major outage be sorted so I can get online?

  • Tasty_Reg Tasty Reg (@Tasty_Reg) reported

    @Plusnet @quantumhealer1 9 hrs is not a short time and there are thousands of reports on Down Detector, starting at 12.30am. Why did it take 8 hours to acknowledge an issue despite promoting 24/7 support? We understand that things go wrong but you are solely lacking in the way you have dealt with it.

    @james62907862 Hi James, I'm sorry that your broadband is still down and for the inconvenience caused. Please send us your account username over on a direct message and we will look into this. Regards, Emily Plusnet Leeds 🌞

  • SteveSidDavies Steve Davies (Sid) (@SteveSidDavies) reported

    @Plusnet @kouya I agree, a service status portal that is accurate would also be useful as clearly this was showing incorrectly. I could have saved myself 30 mins fiddling rebooting router and got to the office earlier.

  • SQLCadavre Craig Wilkinson (@SQLCadavre) reported

    @Plusnet It's back again now. Finished setting up my mesh and various network items and it's all looking stable. Not bad really, in 9 years of using @Plusnet I've had 4 outages and none have lasted more than 8 hours
