  • LeahWhitehorse Leah Whitehorse (@LeahWhitehorse) reported from Salford, England

    @bt_uk It would be helpful if you updated your website to show known service issues and outages. Outage in Manchester today is a known issue yet nothing on your site. Plusnet informed me.

  • chickvonpea 🐣🐥 Sarah 🐣 🐥 (@chickvonpea) reported from Meltham, England

    @EmilyinYork @Plusnet "We'll to you proud" my arse. Dad had issues with them last year.

  • Siftah John Baxendale (@Siftah) reported from Manchester, England

    @adechapmanlaw Problem is their phone line is crap, so PlusNet (who they were previously with) also would never get the phone line sorted and they were left with the same crappy speeds. Have signed them up with Sky fibre for less than they were paying for ADSL!

  • DavidWildJnr David (@DavidWildJnr) reported from Whitworth, England

    @Plusnet The BT service obligations (USO) states that my postcode is capable of 10Mb speeds and therefore is not eligible for upgrade. However you can only supply sub 5Mbs service. Can you explain the difference in the two scenarios.

  • sean_mvm MacCárthaigh #FBPE #MVM 🇪🇺🇮🇪🇬🇧🏳️‍🌈🏴🌹 (@sean_mvm) reported from Urmston, England

    @SkyHelpTeam It's done. I'm now a customer of @Plusnet

  • aracoroneld Araceli Coronel (@aracoroneld) reported from Manchester, England

    @Plusnet could you please help me? I paid for your service more than 20 days ago and I still don't have internet. I'm calling but nobody is answering.

  • sweetiesal Sally O’Shea (@sweetiesal) reported from Sale, England

    @Plusnet is your service down currently in WA14? My internet has randomly gone off then showing as on but I can’t connect any device to it?

  • LeahWhitehorse Leah Whitehorse (@LeahWhitehorse) reported from Salford, England

    If you are in South Manchester and have an issue with broadband, there is a BT incident in the area. Not showing on their website! Plusnet informed me should be fixed this afternoon. Check with your provider.

  • alexjb24 Alex 🐝 (@alexjb24) reported from Salford, England

    @Plusnet @plusnethelp hi, my broadband service today and yesterday has been shocking. It has cut out 8 times in the past 3 hours alone which is unacceptable as I need it to work from home (so I’ve had to use loads of my mobile data allowance). Can you please tell me when I 1/2

  • sweetiesal Sally O’Shea (@sweetiesal) reported from Sale, England

    @altrinchamhq @Plusnet Yes it’s down for me in WA14, I had tried everything and was so confused as was appearing connected on the router! Not good from them to provide zero updates.

  • aracoroneld Araceli Coronel (@aracoroneld) reported from Manchester, England

    @Plusnet your service sucks!!

  • chickvonpea 🐣🐥 Sarah 🐣 🐥 (@chickvonpea) reported from Meltham, England

    @EmilyinYork @Plusnet "we'll do you proud" my arse. Dad had issues with them last year over his internet. Them and BT going back and forth blaming each other.

  • Porter__Face Richard Porter (@Porter__Face) reported from Halifax, England

    Need to renew my broadband do I stick with @Plusnet or go to another provider .. in mind of that they all use @openreach network but @virginmedia I don't play online games

  • adrianswimmer Adrian Hawley (@adrianswimmer) reported from Meltham, England

    @plusnet I'm trying to turn off the answer service via the online manage your account.... The account says an error has occurred "you can't change your products for the moment, you have an order which is currently being processed. Please try again later". 8 months it said this.

  • alexjb24 Alex 🐝 (@alexjb24) reported from Salford, England

    @Plusnet hello, my internet has kept cutting out all day again. My postcode is M5 4SG. This is happening far too frequently. Can you please fix it? When this happened last time you were able to fix it remotely instead of sending an engineer so hope that’s possible. Thanks

  • nickhornbee Nicholas Hornby (@nickhornbee) reported from Manchester, England

    @Plusnet hi my internet has been down since midday. Is there an outage?

  • groundhopper80 groundhopper80 (@groundhopper80) reported from Bury, England

    @Plusnet hello help signal is on and off for the last hour.

  • sweetiesal Sally O’Shea (@sweetiesal) reported from Sale, England

    Zero communication or update on @Plusnet website about the fact the network is clearly down across the UK- you can’t even get a dial tone when ringing their customer services either. What is going on?!

  • tandleman Tandleman (@tandleman) reported from Middleton, England

    Getting fed up with @Plusnet who I have been with forever nearly. Every time it rains I lose my internet for a couple of minutes. When I log a fault they say it is fine now or monitor it for 2 days and close the incident. Of course it hasn't rained. Help!

  • DavidWildJnr David (@DavidWildJnr) reported from Whitworth, England

    @Plusnet I believe the minimum speed was added AFTER installation and after I contacted you. You have dropped my speed from the original 5Mb to around 1Mb as a response to each complaint I make. Perhaps the inferstructure should be investigated. Please forward me complaints email address.

  • OneJabToGo Mark (@OneJabToGo) reported

    @GraviteaUK @rogerpsan @martin_payne Lol. Only BT talk about peak times. Them and PlusNet who of course are 100% owned by BT. My speed never dips below 300Mbps. They don’t need to restrict it because the bandwidth is saturated like BT.

  • TamsinSandy Tamsin Sandy (@TamsinSandy) reported

    @plusnethelp @Plusnet to me. Honestly cannot believe it, how plusnet act like they provide good customer service is beyond me! And half the people I have spoken to have simply denied all wrongdoing. Simply avoid plusnet at all costs is all I have to say!

  • AJayyP_ AJayyP (@AJayyP_) reported

    I have never EVER come across a more disappointing service than @Plusnet meant to be unlimited fibre and it's absolutely awful. I lose connection EVERY DAY to everything, having to reset the router more than I should need to. I would never recommend this provider to anyone!

  • WillTullett Dr William Tullett (@WillTullett) reported

    Anybody I know who is with Plusnet and who has replaced the standard router (if so is there a router you recommend)? Seems standard one has bad reputation for dealing with multiple devices - I'm thinking it might be at the route of my Zoom and Teams calls being constantly dropped

  • rosysparkles Sparkles Books 📚 (@rosysparkles) reported

    @PrettyPPD @Plusnet **** up over and over and over again too 👌🏻

  • tracebicyturner Tracy Antonio MIAB cert.acc. (@tracebicyturner) reported

    @EE Hi. I’m with @Plusnet but they use your signal.

  • plusnethelp Plusnet Help (@plusnethelp) reported

    @TamsinSandy Hi Tamsin, I'm very sorry to hear of the poor experience that you've had in regards to the fault. My colleague, Tony, has ownership of your complaint and should be in touch with an update soon. Regards, Emily Plusnet Leeds🌞

  • plusnethelp Plusnet Help (@plusnethelp) reported

    @AssosChelt As BT Sport can be used on multiple platforms you would need to speak to us on 0800 013 2632 in order to cancel this down or swap the product to an app. I'm afraid we are unable to action this over here. - Curtis, Plusnet Sheffield

  • Redtagheur Eddie (@Redtagheur) reported

    @virginmedia Yes it was a fault. No, I'm in work so rang on my mobile. 2 hours for them to FINALLY send an engineer out TOMORROW. No money off my Virgin bill, no help with my Mobile phone bill. I'm gonna go with Plusnet or someone else now. Your customer service 'team' are useless.

  • TamsinSandy Tamsin Sandy (@TamsinSandy) reported

    @plusnethelp @Plusnet I received a call yesterday after submitting an official complaint and was told he would be personally helping resolve this. Today I get a call from him explaining my engineer had cancelled after I waited 4 hours, and couldn't tell me why and couldn't.. pt 5
