    @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

  • 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.

  • ProfPilk A P (@ProfPilk) reported

    @toomuchsand @Plusnet They seem to only have 3G roaming and many countries are turning this system off. This is what I eventually discovered was my problem in Germany. Calls and texts still work, but internet was not usable.

  • StevenYWC Steven Cheung (@StevenYWC) reported

    @Plusnet any idea on if/when you plan to offer 5g and WiFi calling? I've just got a shiny new 5g phone and want to be able to use 5g. I've been a loyal customer for many years but might have to switch to another provider if there is no roadmap for 5g and WiFi calling?

    Screwed over by #Plusnet disconnected our broadband and say they can’t fix it for up to THREE WEEKS!!!! 4G is intermittent here and phone signal is 1 bar on a good day. I may be unavailable for a while. #incandescentwithrage

  • tigger_tim TimM (@tigger_tim) reported

    @PCkeepswimming @Plusnet @BritishGas I agree. I was having an intermittent connection problem, and it was resolved by a real human being taking a look at the technical log and realising my router was failing.

  • davidjrussel David Russell (@davidjrussel) reported

    @MartinSLewis I switched from EE to Plusnet and then BT Mobile as had better packages. I had to cancel both as even though they both run off the EE platform the signal is strangled and much worse. Maybe better in big towns/cities but something to consider in rural areas @MartinSLewis

    @thecraigmurray love your comedy, never knew you were the face of plusnet wtf!

  • toomuchsand Mike Μάικ Miké Esq (@toomuchsand) reported

    @ProfPilk @Plusnet It worked for a week and a bit then just got stuck on E mode. Airplane mode, network reset and phone restart multiple times. Manual change between local providers same. Swapped SIM between phones, the other phones SIM OK, this SIM same in other phone.

  • latham_karen karen latham (@latham_karen) reported

    @Plusnet broadband outage in street. BT, Sky, Zen provide decent customer service to neighhours. Plusnet still haven't confirmed my problem is going to be fixed. Shockingly bad service.

  • orchard_end Ian Watson (@orchard_end) reported

    @Plusnet Only been a customer for three and utterly brassed off with Plusnet. Why on earth don't you warn people up front that if they include a PAC code in the order there is a great chance their number will be ported and so cut them off while waiting for the new SIM to arrive.

  • lkp_arttherapy Lydia Pell (@lkp_arttherapy) reported

    @Plusnet it's bad enough having to work during the best weather ever seen up north, but patchy internet signal dropping every 5 seconds is making it soooo much worse. Whats going on? are the lines made of chocolate?
