    @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.

  • marianlouise Maz (@marianlouise) reported

    Not too impressed with @Plusnet sending me a bill for January at a higher rate with zero reminders about contract coming to an end in last bill. First time I’ve been really disappointed in their service.

  • athenamae04 athena mae valencia (@athenamae04) reported

    @Plusnet i bought a new sim card from you and received it yesterday. i cannot send text messages but i can receive them. on my settings it says “verifying” but when i click on it says there’s an error. i’m wondering if there’s any way you can help me?

  • hlwudarski Hannah Wudarski (@hlwudarski) reported

    Hi @Plusnet, are there any problems in the BS10 area? We had a fault on our line that was fixed a week ago, but the router is flashing orange today and we have no connection. Thanks!

  • MSmithsonPB Mike Smithson (@MSmithsonPB) reported

    My broadband provider @Plusnet tells me that my service won't be fixed until 6pm on Wednesday. This is rubbish and looks set to cause me and no doubt many other customers huge problems.

  • alihare9 Ali Hare (@alihare9) reported

    Hi @Plusnet, we have been waiting in all afternoon (our scheduled appointment date) for an engineer to install our new phone service. They haven't turned up and we haven't had any communication from plusnet. Can you help please?

  • featuresjourno Claire Coleman ✍🏽 (@featuresjourno) reported

    @sacredsavage3 @SkyHelpTeam If Sky uses Openreach infrastructure, it’s not their fault. @Plusnet have told me it’s down to damage to a green box that won’t be repaired until 2nd Feb which is ridic

  • h_polba Helen Polba (@h_polba) reported

    @Michi_Midge Is this for television? We got rid of Sky Years ago as we realised what we watched was mostly available on Freesat and Freeview. We’ve never had wifi through them, we have Plusnet.

  • CotyHS2 Ian Moss (@CotyHS2) reported

    Hey @Plusnet. Been waiting 10 minutes for a page to load. Your ****** service?

  • Samshapter Sam Shapter (@Samshapter) reported

    @Plusnet we moved in to our new home on the 1st September and still no internet!! Groundsmen came and laid a new fibre line but didn’t use any protection around the cable so the cable was broken. 4 months have gone by and nothing!! Very disappointing 👎🏻

  • stevbu Steven Butten (@stevbu) reported

    @Plusnet Plese advise how to disable WMM on hub 2. I have been advised that doing so will stop problem with airplay streaming to HomePod.
