  • BlocknBottle Block & Bottle (@BlocknBottle) reported from Walker Gate, England

    @Plusnet HELP! Our internet’s gone down, how can we get it up and running in the next 1 hour and 11 minutes before we open?!

  • mouse5555 Lynn Dixon (@mouse5555) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @Plusnet Don’t worry about it plusnet doesn’t work for long enough for anyone to have issues with safety

  • LeDreamboat Scott ⚫️⚪️ (@LeDreamboat) reported from Sacriston, England

    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)

  • Jauntyboyz_Inc Eric #FBPPR, #FBPA (@Jauntyboyz_Inc) reported

    @moonlustie @LeePartridge16 @virginmedia I have a full fibre contract with Plusnet for £34pm. Fibrus called at my door to offer the equivalent service for £25pm fixed for 2 years, free for the first 3 months and will pay any early termination penalty up to £450 - Plusnet would only reduce my fee by £2pm - woeful.

  • hellofthedevil Tommy Haddon (@hellofthedevil) reported

    @itsalgordon @virginmedia @bt_uk i feel sorry for you, atleast go with a company that gets leased lined from BT, i'm personally with plusnet business and haven't had an issue with them personally ever, the only issues i've had really was with BT hardware in the telephone exchange

  • ohheyitsaarxn 💫 Oh Hey It's Double A 💫 (@ohheyitsaarxn) reported

    Omds why is this Plusnet router so shambolic my data is almost done but once again the WiFi has gone down and even when it is working my room always has patchy connection anyway FFS 🤬

  • _Brian_Hunter Brian Hunter (@_Brian_Hunter) reported

    But PlusNet is part of BT? "Yes but we still won't supply a dongle" Can I cancel my contract (and sign up with BT)? "No, if you do we will charge you £300" What compensation will I get? "£9/day off future bill for time it will be down" If I get a dongle to keep working...

  • Schnee_Plushfox Schnee_Plushfox (@Schnee_Plushfox) reported

    @BearNoiz @Plusnet Apparently, there is newer fibre available here from BT. Will look. The existing underground #virginmedia installation here remains untouched from when Bell cable media installed it 22 or 23 years ago. No wonder virgin have issues. #VirginMediaoutage #virginmediadown

  • The_Retro_Rose Sharon 💙🏳️‍🌈🇺🇦 (@The_Retro_Rose) reported

    @Plusnet is there any time estimate on a fix time for the network issues in OL14? I work from home so it’d be useful to have an estimate. Thanks

  • beaker9 David White (@beaker9) reported

    @virginmedia Been with @VirginMedia less than a month. Nothing but trouble and today - nothing at all. Will be seeking to cancel and go back to @Plusnet who were amazing. I'd rather have perfect 40Mbps than rarely there 250Mbps.

  • Xchian2001 Xchian (@Xchian2001) reported

    @Plusnet both mine and my son's mobile phones have lost all signal for the last two days. Tried we chat (never again) & community forum but nothing. Please help as I don't want to have to cancel my contract!

  • Tommy_Macinnes Macinnes (@Tommy_Macinnes) reported

    @Plusnet hi Plusnet can I say your new text service is shocking! Been waiting for half hour for a text about my WiFi error and nothing. Can someone please message me so I can ask for an engineer! My WiFi has gone down and trying to get some help is almost impossible!

  • carolbradycpcm Carol Brady MBE (@carolbradycpcm) reported

    @nocaresgiven22 @birmingham_live No plusnet. The wifi and hub is fine and all other devices and tvs working. Known issue with Sony apparently and it’s driving me nuts as we can’t watch anything other than terrestrial tv 😖
