    @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 my uncle has just had his phone stolen can you help with IMEI for the police?

  • AlixTraynor2 Alix Traynor (@AlixTraynor2) reported

    @MoneySavingExp Couldn't have been easier. Rang BT, answered all the questions, passed eligibility. The speeds will be slightly higher than those I was getting with Plusnet on faster fibre. You DO NOT get lower speeds or poorer service on the Essential plan. £15pm for 38mb or £20pm for 68-72mb.

  • Aquanette_ Tree (@Aquanette_) reported

    @AnnaKaling @Plusnet You're mixed up. You're not the customer their investors are the customers. Gotta collect those exploitative fees.

  • bowes_david David Bowes (@bowes_david) reported

    @ariesweeter @ThreeUK Same, tried calling my dad who is on the Asda mobile network and I am getting no ringing or sound on both mobile and landline. Called a friend on Plusnet and it rang.

  • PaulTho13724590 Paul Thomas (Fagioli) (@PaulTho13724590) reported

    @Plusnet Even when I contacted the md nothing was done except for some idiot contacting me and make a lot of promises he didn’t keep.

  • AnnaKaling Anna 'Anner' Kaling 🐀 (@AnnaKaling) reported

    Very disappointed that @plusnet wants to charge me £40 to change my number to stop getting nuisance calls. I thought you were all about looking after your customer?

  • K_louloulou Louise K (@K_louloulou) reported

    Hi @Plusnet @SkyHelpTeam @OpenreachHelp Lots of people in Tunbridge Wells with no internet connection. Plusnet, BT and Sky all saying no service issues in the area. That’s going to be a lot of individual engineer visits that might be a waste of time.

  • nanaynilauren Lianne (@nanaynilauren) reported

    @Plusnet hi i have dm’d you about terminating my broadband line to look for another broadband service in our area. Kindly assist me in this process asap as we need a better broadband line. Very slow connection with plusnet despite new router.

  • Vickleyb Vicky B (@Vickleyb) reported

    @OpenreachHelp Plusnet spoke to your chat center in India and said they weren’t getting anywhere. Then when we told them we wanted to make a complaint they sent us to your web page which then sends up back to plusnet. So something is going to have to give at some point?

  • LemonLaces Ali Bradford (@LemonLaces) reported

    @Plusnet absolutely shocking customer service today, if you’re using as a supplier for your phone you may as well cancel because they don’t care anyway. I’ll be looking for a different contract with a company that provides much better customer service and a better coverage!
