    @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 Hey Plusnet I'm fortunate to be working from home but my Internet has been down since 11:30am I appreciate the extra time off but not sure my employer feels the same way. Any chance someone can help?

  • voltoth Voltoth (@voltoth) reported

    @Plusnet Hi, Chris. I'm no longer a PlusNet customer but thanks for the offer. The speeds are limited by the infrastructure where I am in Cumbria. I get the same speed estimations regardless of provider.

  • corkifephotogr1 KPM photography (@corkifephotogr1) reported

    @Plusnet question on broadband - when I extended my account broadband speed was recorded at 36mbs and now my account has been changed to restrict to22mbs. This is causing serious issues with home working - why has it been restricted ?

  • ab1674 Alison Thornton (@ab1674) reported

    @Plusnet I don't like to think of you being bores so, can you tell me why my signal strength has dropped to next to nothing when, 2 weeks ago, it was at full strength?

  • cconnolly81 Christine Connolly (@cconnolly81) reported

    For a company promoting great customer service @plusnet has failed to deliver so far! They have cancelled my broadband account twice within the last 3 weeks, promised to call me back with an update but hasn't and charged me a set up for a new account that I didn't want!

  • DownsTrader Country Craft Workshops (@DownsTrader) reported
