    @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.

  • andycloquet Andy Cloquet (@andycloquet) reported

    @VodafoneUK @Ofcom 2/2 whatever speed comes into home is wasted by a copper wire connection between the fibre optic box & router = immediate loss of most signal. Tonight, Zoom calls have been interrupted, broken etc. much worse than dreadful Plusnet service & yours more expensive. @TheGadgetShow

  • EJFisher2 E J Fisher (@EJFisher2) reported

    Has anyone else has a problem with @Plusnet or @plusnethelp? My mother, who is in her 80’s, has been waiting for over two weeks(!) for them to get back to her about her house phone that isn’t working. She chose them for good customer service. Disgusted.

  • Simon_Kenyon Simon Kenyon (@Simon_Kenyon) reported

    Disappointed with @Plusnet for not resolving my broadband issues and for not acknowledging any tweets to them either. @plusnethelp

  • NessManship Ness Manship (@NessManship) reported

    @plusnethelp @plusnet no phone no internet for 24hrs. Chat doesn't work, an hour waiting on the phone doesn't work & you're not answering DMs. I tested the line (like the way you get customers to do the work for you) & there is a fault on the line. What am I paying you for?

  • NessManship Ness Manship (@NessManship) reported

    @Plusnet How about you provide the service you charge for?

  • ralphaverbuch ralphaverbuch (@ralphaverbuch) reported

    @plusnethelp After being on hold for 37 minutes on my mobile, talk to tech support who send me to a closed 'provisioning' service which auto ends the call. Problem still unresolved. Terrible, terrible #customerservice. I expect better. Meanwhile elderly parents cut off. @Plusnet

  • BeTheBest_Chris Chris Walker (@BeTheBest_Chris) reported

    @MartinSLewis What are our rights to cancel a contract with @Plusnet @plusnethelp if the internet has not worked for two months and they’ve no fixed it for 42 days since the first complaint?

  • paulmcl59537085 paul mclaughlin (@paulmcl59537085) reported

    @EJFisher2 @Plusnet @plusnethelp ive had problems since my go active date and still not sorted 3 weeks on they like to pass the problems around the office .

  • LazBlazter Larry Mount (@LazBlazter) reported

    @plusnethelp @Plusnet I'm trying to help my 92 year old, deaf, father in law report a broadband and phone issue to you. What a shockingly bad site you offer. A fault system that loops you back to the starting point, no online chat connection.
