Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Oldham and nearby locations:

  • 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.

  • 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.

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

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

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

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

  • 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

  • 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!

  • 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

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

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

  • PrintCityMMU PrintCity: 3D, Innovate, Educate, Collaborate (@PrintCityMMU) reported from Stockport, England

    @Plusnet In your booklet that arrives with the router, you advertise 7:30am to 10:00pm. I call you for two occasions that don’t answer for 30 minutes each. At 8pm, it tells me customer service is now closed. What terrible service. Your billing systems work great though

  • 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?!

  • Cavakaggy cavakaggy (@Cavakaggy) reported from Walkden, England

    @Plusnet mobile signal has been useless since Christmas, other users are also reporting this advise

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

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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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!

  • goochy808 Peter Gough (@goochy808) reported from Ashton-under-Lyne, England

    @Plusnet My broadband should have gone live today. Internet from old ISP ceased at midnight. You promised me uninterrupted service. My wife had to take a days leave today as she works form home using MS Teams and could not connect. Awful service. How do I cancel?

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • Fraser_Milne Fraser Milne (@Fraser_Milne) reported

    @Plusnet I’m having constant connection issues…broadband keeps going down…having to constantly reboot router.

  • scam516 Sam campbell (@scam516) reported

    @Plusnet still waiting for my refund to hit my account.. duno why im suprised anymore if im honest.... your customer service is a total joke..

  • CatsAreLoud Astrophic (@CatsAreLoud) reported

    Plusnet claim that they will do everything to support disabled customers but their only webchat service is for sales only, so there's no accessibility for customers who can't use a phone. Their webchat sales team told me it could be days before someone would reply to email

  • lisaharte101 lisaharte101 (@lisaharte101) reported

    @Plusnet In the time it’s taken, I’ve spent £90 on a new router and 5G wireless dongles to fix the issue.

  • samgillham Sam Gillham (@samgillham) reported

    @2plus2isjoe Visiting my mum and just spent ten minutes lecturing her on the obvious shitness of her Plusnet internet. Got weirdly animated and emotional about the whole thing even though I know nothing about how the internet works. She must never know.

  • Jennybaileyy Jennifer (@Jennybaileyy) reported

    @Plusnet hello, my WiFi went down an hour ago and I gave tried all sorts to resolve it. I have reset, restarted, updated my password and it still won't work. Could you please run some checks on your end? Thanks

  • therealwaynemcc Wayne McCarron (@therealwaynemcc) reported

    @Plusnet - The Absolute Worst Broadband Provider I have ever had the displeasure of using. My mother has been paying £25 per month for over 3 months and getting downspeeds of less than 10mbps consistently. Your customer service people are useless. I will be taking this to OFCOM

  • GlitteryHayls Hayley (@GlitteryHayls) reported

    @B055BAW @Plusnet To be fair they’ve been brilliant trying to sort the issues out, can’t fault them for that.

  • alums_d @D.alums (@alums_d) reported

    @Plusnet I regret to inform you that my reception is next to zero. My internt freezes intermitently , and there is totally no reception upstairs. I am totally frustrated and will have no option but to terminate my contract since you are not keeping to the terms of contract.

  • davelms Dave Sugden (@davelms) reported

    @Endless_PaulyT @Plusnet Same here, @plusnet has been up and down regularly in the last week (LS27 area). Each time is only for a minute and then it comes back again. Been great for 2 years before this week, now down more times in 2 days than it has in 2 years.
