    @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.

  • smithychick SARAH SMITH (@smithychick) reported

    @Plusnet I have just joined but I thought I could keep my landline (same address) but you sent me another number and I cannot get through on your phone lines and the website does not help or the chat. If I definitely cannot keep my current no. I need to cancel and get a refund?

  • BankDelilah Delilah Bank (@BankDelilah) reported

    held on phone line for #plusnet for an hour yesterday until they cut me off and closed the lines and two hours this morning. No other way to contact them. Might try carrier pigeon - will be quicker. terrible service.

  • Beelzebab666 Beelzebab (@Beelzebab666) reported

    .@Plusnet Do the engineers ever show up? Second time nobody has arrived and nobody has the decency to call us. Total waste of time. WE have to call YOU in order to find out what's going on and nobody at customer service has asnwers. Do you and OpenReach speak to each other? 🙃

  • Beelzebab666 Beelzebab (@Beelzebab666) reported

    @CocklesFaulkner @Plusnet Thanks for the heads up! You'd think someone in customer service would have known about that. Spoke to about 4 people there with no mention of that at all.

  • jenny_owens1 Jenny Owens 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈 (@jenny_owens1) reported

    Not sure what to think now about changing to @Plusnet no internet all day, no 1 answers phone calls, no1 answers on here. I work from home, no holidays left, so tomorrow will lose pay if I don’t log on. The money saved in the year will be lost on the 2nd day.Shocking service

  • jenny_owens1 Jenny Owens 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈 (@jenny_owens1) reported

    So @Plusnet I have less than 50mins for you to switch me on. What a joke you are. 1st impression from a new customer is absolutely shocking. I lose pay each day now I cannot work. Nothing wrong with my internet until I switched to you, and my turn on day doesn’t happen.

  • AndyGWolf359 Andy G (@AndyGWolf359) reported

    @gentoopb66 @LordWilsonVILLA @Plusnet I’ve had plusnet and I agree they are ****. All the marketing we are great and cheap. Try getting hold of them through customer services and they never bloody listen.

  • Shinobilyrical1 Shinobilyricalassassin (@Shinobilyrical1) reported

    @Plusnet Don't you worry. You were happy to fob me off to the Ombudsman knowing the way you treated me was crappy and the compensation was insulting so I'm sure they'll deal with the situation as effectively as possible. Your customer service is: mess up then apologise. Rinse. Repeat.

  • Gledster Gledster (@Gledster) reported

    @Plusnet internet out in Yorkshire, YO25. Any issues you're aware of?

  • louiseyidette spurs Gal (@louiseyidette) reported

    @Shinobilyrical1 @Plusnet I wonder what part of award winning customer service includes waiting over a hour to get through to customer services!! Am a new customer too awaiting activation not great when you can’t get hold of anyone
