    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)

    @Plusnet so ordered a new service from you. You “forgot” to order broadband and you “forgot” to transfer my old phone number. This is basic stuff. Now having to go back to Virgin to extend my bb cover otherwise I will be without service. What a gr8 start as a new customer.

    @plusnethelp @Plusnet moved home 2 weeks ago and ever since, my wifi is constantly dropping out. Tried the instructions to change the channels etc but same issue. Terrible service considering I had to pay +£100 to move and your next suggestion was paying for a new router.

  • TomWinchester92 Tom (@TomWinchester92) reported

    @plusnethelp Hello, I can't access a specific WordPress website on my home wi-fi. I've spoken to the WordPress host and they say it's not a problem on their end, so I think Plusnet might be blocking access. Can you help?

  • jslack3 Joe Slack (@jslack3) reported

    @Plusnet Your wifi is a joke. Asking me for my password again. Saying it’s wrong when it’s right. This is the second router I’ve had and same issue. What you going to do to sort this time?

  • AbsintheAffair The Absinthe Affair & Steampunk 2021 (@AbsintheAffair) reported

    @MrsTWymer @virginmedia I confronted my provider with the fact I could go elsewhere and they dropped my bill accordingly. Plusnet via John Lewis/Waitrose. Excellent customer service and good speed in leafy Finstock
