    @Plusnet If only..... 3 months ans till not connected. Dreadful service

  • 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)

  • HannahRose1401 Hannah Jeffrey 🇪🇺 (@HannahRose1401) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    Has your Internet gone down @plusnethelp @Plusnet? NHS worker struggling to work from home here.

  • fredspoon Philip 👌🏼 (@fredspoon) reported from Chester-le-Street, England

    Broadband down at home @Plusnet not great said there some fault needs and engineer.

  • remenos Joanne Emerson (@remenos) reported from Sherburn Hill, England

    @PickGS @Plusnet @plusnethelp It’s blatant profiteering - I need broadband to work from home and I’m now paying £35 instead of £22 - and to think their selling point was excellent UK customer service 🙄

  • 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

  • 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?!

  • 2012neil2012 Outdoorsey (@2012neil2012) reported from Dunston, England

    @Plusnet I am having issues with my home WiFi connection since doing a separate password change on my plusnet online account. Do you have an email address I can send router reference images to , to discuss / resolve? Many thanks

  • Johnad25 John Adams (@Johnad25) reported from Durham, England

    @benjymous @Plusnet Sounds much more like it from their customer services. I’ll try and use the referral code if I can, but it may clash with the Bluelight discount my wife gets. Gouging a #keyworker in a global crisis isn’t classy thanks again @EE.

  • Johnad25 John Adams (@Johnad25) reported from Durham, England

    From recent experience I can confirm this tweet is total nonsense. I’m moving all of my services elsewhere. Customer service 0/10, shambles. I suggest you all check if you can get a better deal elsewhere. (@Plusnet expect my call)

  • eggdaddy Matt Spink (@eggdaddy) reported

    @BaronVonPleb I hear you buddy. Wish I had never left @Plusnet for @virginmedia - triple the speed for 50% more turns out was too good to be true!

  • CalamityMum Lady Jane (@CalamityMum) reported

    @Plusnet just signed up. Broadband was working for about 30 mins. Can't sign in now. Waiting on helpline for over half an hour already. Can anyone help?

  • hilarymcc7 Hilary McCollum (@hilarymcc7) reported

    @bt_uk I think BT should review its dispatch arrangements to ensure equipment arrives well in advance of switchover. It was BT who told plusnet to cut off my service from 15 Dec. If I’d had a say I would have paid for a couple of days overlap rather than be in this mess.

  • rios_lab alejandro.dussaillant-j (@rios_lab) reported

    30+ min waiting in the phone, that´s it, will look for another provider with a decent service support, since @Plusnet is not

  • jemma_jo_ Jemma-Jo Baker (@jemma_jo_) reported

    @Plusnet @plusnethelp bd ordered 23rd nov, blamed bt,not one call, email,smoke signal,4 update,called everyday for 12 days to be told the same BS over & over again. 3 little boys are going without presents this year thanks to your BS & no existent CS

  • katelettuce 🌱Kate Lettuce (@katelettuce) reported

    @MichaelRosenYes @virginmedia I was with virgin media once, never again. They make it almost impossible to cancel too. I’d recommend PlusNet, my connection with them has always been really reliable, and I stream all my telly.

  • MrsLcom1 Mrs_L.com (@MrsLcom1) reported

    Shocking customer service from @Plusnet rubbish speeds so slow @netflix won’t load can’t wait for contract to end... never again #wifi #slowinternetspeeds @plusnethelp
