    @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 So there has been a problem with the 5ghz wireless on a Plusnet router now since 2019 apparently. my devices keep dropping out of this even after firmware updates. when are you going to ditch these obviously faulty routers for something I can use?

  • 10538R 10538RICH 🇬🇧🇪🇸🇮🇹🇸🇪🦂 (@10538R) reported

    Do not change your broadband to @TalkTalk . I was with plusnet for 8 years and no problem. This lot have known about the fact I have no phone or broadband for days and have made promises and broken them blaming @BT . I'll re tweet this until its sorted.

  • LittleG27383051 LittleGEM (@LittleG27383051) reported

    @Plusnet Hi, I've lost Internet, trouble shooter tells me I have to wait for service activation (been a customer for over a month) and email address no longer recognised so can't log in to community?? What happened?

  • umbugnet John Turner (@umbugnet) reported

    @Plusnet I have raised a fault as instructed. Found out by chance that there's been a reply (clicking again on the link here & then finding a message). Don't know how to respond to the message. Didn't get any text msg and if I try replying online, it takes me every time to a sign in page

  • gordonomicon Mitch Mitchell (@gordonomicon) reported

    @om_riff Had Virgin at a couple of previous addresses. Utter shite. With Plusnet now. Would recommend. Never any issues apart from maintenance at 4 am.

    @Plusnet please can you let me know what the issue is with connection as mine is intermittently very slow for the last few days?

  • Chris4man Chris (@Chris4man) reported

    Hey @Plusnet @plusnethelp we moved last week and while the broadband is working well the phone is dead. Doesn't ring when called and no dial tone. I ran the troubleshooter and it found no problem. I texted your help bot and it's gone quiet. Any chance of some action?
