    @virginmedia Cancelled yesterday. Was happy at £25 a month. Looks like we're off to Vodafone or Plusnet for £22. Shame really, been a decent service.

  • StoneTyres Stone Tyres (@StoneTyres) reported from St Helens, England

    PHONE LINE DOWN Please bear with us. Our @Plusnet phone line has gone down. Divert will take at least an hour to be activated. Feel free to message us on here. Apologies, we are looking for a more reliable supplier as we speak.

    @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

    @plusnet @plusnethelp You've left my elderly, shielding parents without a phone line for 48hrs now, and nothing is being done. I sat for 45mins on hold this morning to call you, and couldn't get through. At this stressful time, this isn't good enough! Any chance of a solution?

  • trevos01 Trevor Williams (@trevos01) reported from Sale, England

    @plusnethelp I’ve been in contact with your help desk about my Emails being blocked by Plusnet from my Domain (123reg). Apparently you are aware of this issue & have a team working on this problem. Could you pls let me know when the problem is resolved.

  • CroftJackie Jackie (@CroftJackie) reported from Up Holland, England

    @plusnethelp Someone called me back and then passed me onto a helpful lady. This has helped resume the internet but not the bad feeling we now have to Plusnet. We had the worst day ever being spoken to be such a rude, arrogant and pompous man who spoke spoke so rudely to myself and daughter

  • ukpayrollserv Duane James (@ukpayrollserv) reported from Frodsham, England

    Over the past 10 days we are experiencing at least one incident per day of the router losing connection ..generally comes back on after about 2 minutes but have never had this before @Plusnet

  • 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

  • LucyLoopy86 Lucy Willis (@LucyLoopy86) reported from Standish, England

    @Plusnet what is going with the service tonight … I switched to you being told your better … but nope crap internet still 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

  • SarahDixonHE Sarah Dixon (@SarahDixonHE) reported from Liverpool, England

    Best internet provider? Currently with @Plusnet and they are absolutely terrible. Can’t connect phones to the WiFi and the signal goes about 1m in the house and what you can get is slow as anything 🙄

  • wildduck73 Kirsten Naylor (@wildduck73) reported

    @Plusnet I am leaving you after a few days of being a customer because your network provides me zero indoor signal and dodgy outdoor reception. You cannot retain me as a customer. Your unsub link in emails doesn't lead to any unsub options. STOP SENDING ME EMAIL.

  • maxihinds4 Maxine Hinds (@maxihinds4) reported

    @plusnet trying to work from home with the worst internet provider ever never recommend you to anyone waking up to flashing red light is just embarrassing thanks for ruining my chances of permanent flexible working as for you “uk call centres” no one works in them ???

  • maxihinds4 Maxine Hinds (@maxihinds4) reported

  • Kranitoko Charlie Murray (@Kranitoko) reported

    Plusnet in the middle of the night be like: "Internet's down nationwide? Pfft nobody needs the internet at night!"

  • Kulbhus43354647 Kulbhushan Singh (@Kulbhus43354647) reported

    @Plusnet horrible service, Never pick up the call on time, whole day i am not provided with the network. And the provider doesnt seems to pickup my call. Help me if you can right now. I am working from home and might be terminated from my job.

  • mikeapollo Mikeapollo (@mikeapollo) reported

    @au_pis_aller @Plusnet @Hyperoptic Yup. First time in ages, but the new DNS capture technique is very unpleasant when your gateway "trusts" your ISP - as everything that touched that gateway gets a redirect, then roams to a different network (me) where it updates the DNS based on the "trusted" gateway. Result: 💥

  • maxihinds4 Maxine Hinds (@maxihinds4) reported

    @Cardlinger @Plusnet It’s embarrassingly bad sick of flashing red light when I’m supposed to be WFH
