    @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.

    @Plusnet PLUSNET ARE A BUNCH OF THIEVES. Tried to scam me for £50 for a line when 2 active lines already existed. Failed to send me a modem, we requested to cancel the contract, bullied into having a second modem sent. Never used the service Now taken us to a credit agency for £111.98

    @Liv__Es Sorry Liv but you're wrong on this one. This isn't a government subsidy, nor is it free broadband. Openreach are just axing the one off connection free it charges the service providers (Sky, Plusnet, BT, Talktalk etc) to install the line. It is coming out of Openreach's pocket.

    @IAmSimplySamuel @J3Lyon Have three services from Plusnet, all really fast up and down, once I replaced their budget WiFi router - Plusnet are BT’s budget service.

    @Plusnet my broadband is down, your online troubleshooting is crap and you have NO overnight tech support,.not to mention I'm being overcharged in the deal I took out with you!

  • emmawruns Emma 💛 (@emmawruns) reported

    @Plusnet Have just spoken to an operator on the phone - the way he spoke to me was appalling. Have been told there is an outage in my area until midnight Thursday and there's nothing you can do to help and was refusing to let me speak to a manager.

  • Lucy_Evans10 Lucy Evans (@Lucy_Evans10) reported

    Broadband connection has been bloody terrible for the past month. Cutting in and out, we've tried everything - please sort @Plusnet (SY11 -Hindford)
