  • nigelivy Nigel Ivy (@nigelivy) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @jasonsloan46 @virginmedia Landed up cancelling and going with Plusnet. I'm so over paying premium prices for subpar customer service & their product is so unreliable.

  • ThinkingBlue Zos (@ThinkingBlue) reported from Antrim and Newtownabbey, Northern Ireland

    @Plusnet I don't know how many more calls I can make that go unanswered. How many more times in a day my router needs reset. I'm paying for internet that doesn't work nor help that never comes

  • PaulReid74 Paul Reid (@PaulReid74) reported from Dundonald, Northern Ireland

    @DannyCowanVO @Paul__Buckle @bt_uk @Plusnet @BTCare My advice... as soon as you leave BT, cancel your direct debit.

  • itconor itconor (@itconor) reported from Comber, Northern Ireland

    @internetsense @seatzie @virginmedia Plusnet last I checked where just BT, they also have a habit of putting customers behind CGNAT which means no public IP bad for gaming etc

  • cattt82 Cat Taylor (@cattt82) reported from Jordanstown, Northern Ireland

    @nornirishfella Plusnet are woeful. My mum was with them until a few months ago, hated her WiFi. We were with sky but we maxed out at 35-40 most of the time, nothing they could do to make it faster. But only got Virgin in when we upgraded to a 65” TV & buffering became an issue.

  • PaulReid74 Paul Reid (@PaulReid74) reported from Dundonald, Northern Ireland

    @Paul__Buckle @DannyCowanVO @bt_uk @Plusnet I've been with Plusnet for several years now too, never had an issue (touch wood)... only issue was @BTCare refusing to believe that I had actually left them, and sending me emails threatening to cut me off, and telling me I owed them money for a service I was no longer getting.

    @noisecandyman Hi Thank you for reaching out to us via social media. There is an ongoing issue with Force 9 which we are actively working to try and fix. Apologies for any inconvenience caused in the meantime. Thanks Lee-Plusnet Sheffield

  • nw_nicholas Mr Ethical (@nw_nicholas) reported

    Stressful conversation with Plusnet today. I’m trying to cancel my contract, not having had broadband for 12 days. They keep saying I will have to pay early termination fee of £70. They owe me £140 in compensation

  • neilbennett0707 Neil (@neilbennett0707) reported

    ******* @Plusnet router is doing my head in , every 20 mins turning flashing orange , written complaint incoming me thinks

  • voiceproject Voice Project Choir (@voiceproject) reported

    Call me old-fashioned (I’m certainly old) but when your email and broadband service provider doesn’t respond for days of email outage, one might be inclined to think it somewhat rude, particularly having been a customer for THIRTY-TWO years. So, @Plusnet get your act together

  • patelios121 Mihir Patel (@patelios121) reported

    @Plusnet been over a week since I messaged about needing a contact to speak to about getting fibre installed in my building for all residents and no one gets in touch. So poor. Thought you would be all over wanting to install that for 2-3 apartment blocks.

  • Mark_J69 MarkJ (@Mark_J69) reported

    @Plusnet @noisecandyman Can you advise if this issue is still outstanding? I have not been able to access my emails for 2 weeks now

  • robmcd85 Rob McDowall AMRSPH FRSA (@robmcd85) reported

    @christesla @Plusnet Mine is back up. Thankfully a temporary issue. Was dreading having to phone them in the morning.

  • RuckinRugby John 'Max' Maxwell (@RuckinRugby) reported

    @Plusnet Can you please cancel my broadband account. You'd think this would be a simple few clicks on your website, but then this is UK 2025 isn't it. Do not give me a number to call.

  • Lexi69hz Alexia (@Lexi69hz) reported

    @Plusnet Why is your broadband so ****. Like I can’t even watch YouTube without it buffering. Even when everyone is asleep it buffers
