    @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.

  • akpatwalia Avneet Patwalia (@akpatwalia) reported

    @Plusnet On a instant speed check the service seems ok but over consistent long term use it has been totally unreliable. Can someone please kindly contact me to see how we can resolve this. The router has been changed but this has not helped. @plusnethelp

  • SpocksOddSocks SpocksOddSocks (@SpocksOddSocks) reported

    @plusnethelp I have an ongoing issue since just before Christmas. Phoneline went down and Internet speeds slowed with it. Phone was fixed on Saturday by openreach, but now I seem to have a "stuck profile" where my btw IP profile has updated, but my Plusnet profile hasn't.

  • andrewcostello5 drandrewcostello fear sense common less (@andrewcostello5) reported

    @plusnethelp thanks Alice, 'theblades1889' do i need to find a new supplier or is plusnet continuing? the reason i have been without the internet for much of the past 2 weeks is actually down to openreach

  • jruddy99 John Ruddy (@jruddy99) reported

    @Sheffield_Skate @andrewspoooner @plusnethelp I always laugh when people rave about the quality of service from PlusNet, and say how they're much faster/more reliable than BT.

  • PamillaBAV1 Crone(akaCorona)🤒Alone😷 (@PamillaBAV1) reported

    @jlandpartners Hey John Lewis - d'you have any idea what an absolutely rubbish broadband service you've put your name to? Operated by @Plusnet (MinusNet) who take the cash up front, cancel the order without telling anyone & hang on to the cash for weeks after.

  • holdensteve38 Steve (@holdensteve38) reported

    @Plusnet sent a DM regarding problems with my new router and working

  • detour99 Matt (@detour99) reported

    @plusnethelp Very unimpressed with your customer contact policy. I was called last night and asked to provide my plusnet account password and digits from my bank card details to pass security. What were you thinking?

  • Collectablebaz1 Collectable bazaar (@Collectablebaz1) reported

    @Shigufta1 @virginmedia Happy New Year I was with virgin a few years ago the customer service is awful ended up moving to plusnet cheaper and customer service is excellent
