    @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.

    Finding out plusnet have been providing routers with a known firmware issue for 2 goddamn years without a fix feels incredibly dubious

  • David___Lewis David lewis (@David___Lewis) reported

    @Plusnet is so, so, SO bad. Avoid them. Literally even if they pay you avoid them. Award winning customer service HAHA. F@+k off are you. They literally cut you off.

  • Spymasters11 Spymasters (@Spymasters11) reported

    @Plusnet I have a complaint. I would like to lay it out in words. Chat is offline No email?

  • SANDRAH80018976 Rycroft Leisure (@SANDRAH80018976) reported

    I have been with Plusnet for quite a number of years, now I have a problem with broadband dropping out 3 to 4 times a day I hang on for up to 1 hr a day trying to get through, I have also emailed, but no one ever gets back, I will not be renewing again.

  • Newton4Maryport Steve Newton (@Newton4Maryport) reported

    Thanks @Plusnet @plusnethelp... Line went live today, no router... Customer support say it's not even despatched. So that'll be least 5 days without broadband for us, and homeschooling to do for a GCSE year student. Not a good impression - new customer. "That'll Do!" #ThatllDo

  • mattbutterworth Matthew Butterworth (@mattbutterworth) reported

    @Plusnet Woeful customer service. My bill jumps from £28.50pm to £41.59pm, and your retention team tells me the only way I can get the deal online is to leave, go without internet for 30 days, and then pay a connection fee again. I once recommended you to everyone. What a joke.

  • fatoldhippy Fatoldhippy (@fatoldhippy) reported

    @oaklandsealing There was definitely a problem in the BT / Plusnet broadband service locally this morning. Low bandwidth and high packet loss. Unsure if this is a wider issue.

  • BMowlam Beth Mowlam (@BMowlam) reported

    @Plusnet Just had to cancel my evenings work because internet keeps cutting out. I'm trying to tutor online...need to teach online tomorrow. I hope it is fixed. @plusnethelp

  • RachelSP96 Rachel Patterson (@RachelSP96) reported

    @Plusnet when you’ve not been able to teach properly this week because your internet goes down every two minutes. #feelingannoyed!

  • arqeria Haily Merry (@arqeria) reported

    I swear to all the various gods and goddesses of the pantheon, this piece of **** plusnet router from hell is getting worse. Anyone want to help me, and by extension @destructatron04, get a better router? I'll probably have to downstream it over gigabit powerline, but still.
