    Don’t ever get @Plusnet broadband! Tried to cancel within 14 days of it going live due to it being absolutely useless, to then be told the cooling off period was from when I signed up!! 🤬. (Had to switch the WiFi off to tweet this)

    @supertanskiii @Brizo751 I’m quite sure my Plusnet router is an anus router, given the claims about their performance and service.

  • MagnificoFigaro Masked Figaro (@MagnificoFigaro) reported

    @supertanskiii Ours was shite too. Kept loosing wi-Fi on all devices. Its a known issue that the device switches between 2.4 and 5 ghz depending on range but fails and drops the device. Spoke to Plusnet and they talked me through disabling 5 ghz. After that haven’t had any problem.

    @Plusnet Making a call from my Plusnet mobile to a land-line, if the land line is engaged your network does not give an engaged tone it just drops the call like you had dialled an unknown number.

  • SampaTasha Natasha Mulenga🇿🇲🇬🇧 (@SampaTasha) reported

    @Plusnet Curtis do you know how many times I've tried to have my connection fixed??? I'll DM you but I'm done and I'm making I'm official complaint.

  • TobyHolleran Toby Holleran (@TobyHolleran) reported

    @OpenMindMH If speed is an issue it could be an OpenReach thing, so you should avoid NOW/BT/TalkTalk/Plusnet etc Sometimes if your router is on an "auto" channel it can get interference from your neighbours' routers which can make the internet cut out.

  • The_Bob_Parr Alan 🎃 Halloween Birthday 🎃 Macdonald #FBPE 💙 (@The_Bob_Parr) reported

    @supertanskiii I’ve got Plusnet, and the WiFi on the router is poor (I just had a survey from them & I rated the WiFi as poor). I have put a couple of TP-Link WiFi access points in my flat to get better coverage, all hanging off the network ports on the Plusnet router!

  • 67Spiel Luke, riding the wave 💙💙💙 (@67Spiel) reported

    @supertanskiii Ring em. Plusnet actually do customer service unlike talk talk.

  • NickCla35508819 NC (@NickCla35508819) reported

    @supertanskiii Buy your own devolo wifi magic 2 power line adapters are really good you can clone it to your existing router or put you plusnet on modem mode only. Theres lots options out there. Will cost £90-130. But check if it's your download speeds going into your property are crap first?

  • CaptJolly Roland Rodgers 😷💙 (@CaptJolly) reported

    @supertanskiii The current Plusnet routers are pretty OK. Made by Sagemcom. Similar to last generation BT. There are many excellent replacements available. You do need to clarify whether you have issues with the *Router bit" or the "WiFi bit". You can add a better WiFi AP to your Plusnet

    @supertanskiii I hab similar problems Bought a second hand BT smart home hub 6 As Plusnet are owned by BT,the setup is pretty straightforward I've had no problems since
