  • TaborKieran Kieran Tabor (@TaborKieran) reported

    Anyone else who has Plusnet is your Internet/WIFI down? Down Currently where I am in Cambridge.

  • paullyscotland Paul (@paullyscotland) reported

    @Plusnet But given that I've just joined you, why couldn't you get the advertised prices right? Surely any price rise shouldn't take effect before the service even starts!

  • akendolfr Akendolfr (@akendolfr) reported

    @Plusnet The price went up, but now the internet is down. Planning on actually fixing this?

  • robjo2112 ROBERT JOHNSON (@robjo2112) reported

    @Plusnet Cost? A bit like tethering then? I'd not thought of that. Considering the earliest date for reconnection is to be the 28th March (from the 1st March outage) and it could be some time in April, if it is a gift the. Yes. If cost involved, no. Could I tether to my android?

  • robjo2112 ROBERT JOHNSON (@robjo2112) reported

    @WeAreOpenreach Each time they lie through their teeth, it will appear on here and be reported to my MP, who is in this for me. They call it a mass outage and then email him saying 5 houses are affected. @Plusnet should cancel the account with no fees to pay (£159 exit) because of this.
