    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)

  • 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?!

  • Ricky_Dhillon1 Ricky Dhillon (@Ricky_Dhillon1) reported

    @Plusnet Hi, i have a issue with my boardband. The connection is slow and is never the speed it should be. Not happy about this and just been issue since i had it and when i have called customer service the sort the issue for a few days and then it happens again.

  • AustroHungar Harry👑Houdini #GTTO🇪🇺🧡FBPE🎶 ⛓️🔗LUFC (@AustroHungar) reported

    @JaneMichael62 @Cheeseo76847269 @Fairy__Woodland I find sim free contracts better, as you said by your phone outright. All these deals on TV, e.g 100gb for £20 a month, who the fxxk uses 100gb? I'm with Plusnet who are part of BT and use EE which is the biggest network. £8 a month for 15gb, I don't even use 1gb as most is WiFi.

    @pcnotchtree No worries Patrick, while I'm glad we were able to eliminate that as a cause of the issue; I'm sorry that you're still having issues with your software, I hope you manage to locate the cause so can use it. Is there anything else I can help with today? -Tony Plusnet Sheffield

  • pcnotchtree Patrick C Notchtree (@pcnotchtree) reported

    @Plusnet Thank you. My firewall setting is 'Off' so I guess port 25 is open. I was trying to use a bit of software which didn't seem to work, and the notes said it sometimes won't if the ISP blocks port 25. Doesn't seem top be the problem though.

  • temple_ginny Ginny Temple (@temple_ginny) reported

    @bt_uk Hi! How do we go about getting our number ex-directory? Is there any other way than phoning customer services? We're Plusnet customers. Thanks

  • penn_joanna Joanna Penn (@penn_joanna) reported

    @Plusnet down in #nr33 .. glad I'm not working today.

  • kelly_tengi Kelly (@kelly_tengi) reported

    @Plusnet They reckon a new mast at Fairlawns up the road came online in late 2020 and it changed from 1 bar with dropouts to full signal.

  • JoBeeArt75 Joanne (JoBeeArt)❤🎨 (@JoBeeArt75) reported

    @Plusnet It's suddenly kicked in and all is fine. Have plus net instead of o2 in the corner now. Clearly it just needed a bit of a re-start and time to settle! Thanks for your help.

  • pcnotchtree Patrick C Notchtree (@pcnotchtree) reported

    @Plusnet The application concerned isn't in the drop list and I tried to add it but there I got stuck. Maybe the issue is nothing to do with the port.

  • ultrazool Jo Walsh (@ultrazool) reported

    @Plusnet hi, i've had really bad broadband service interruption the last couple of days (reported speeds of 1Mb up/down), how can i get it looked at and resolved? Work hanging on it. Edinburgh area
