  • 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

  • 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.

  • ChattonCottages Sheila Bull (@ChattonCottages) reported from Riding Mill, England

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

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

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

  • 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)

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

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

  • 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

    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)

    @mushfikmiah2 Hi there, some customers are experiencing problems accessing their emails and accounts in Plusnet Member Centre and connecting to their broadband service. We are working quickly to resolve this and we’re very sorry for the inconvenience caused.

  • midslibrarian Midlands Librarian (@midslibrarian) reported

    @dresdeb @Plusnet I have had to leave the house to get a connection and work @plusnet so would be good to know and eta for a fix so I can go back home?

  • jdyersinger James Dyer (@jdyersinger) reported

    @Plusnet I can ping Google, I can visit Google website, but I cannot resolve any other domain names ? Still an issue

  • mushfikmiah2 Mushfik Miah (@mushfikmiah2) reported

    @Plusnet why is wifi still down? this is not what you get paid for

  • KL13069 Kirsty (@KL13069) reported

    @JoeTyePR @Plusnet Same Brighton - been down for nearly 2 hours now

  • GinjaJaz Jaz. (@GinjaJaz) reported

    @Plusnet In the middle of no broadband has also just invited me to win a prize. Can I win internet access and get back to work? Disgraceful to send that but no update on the current issues.

  • radek_ratel Wzlet (@radek_ratel) reported

    @Plusnet Not sure who's been telling you that, but it's one Heck of a reduction. Every reply I've seen on here is variations on 'connected, no services'. Your c&p is technically correct, but far understates the experiences reported. Resolve/traffic problem, not a connection one.

  • NathanFoley82 Nathan Foley (@NathanFoley82) reported

    After checking for 1hr @Plusnet hanging up on people after a recorded message, who call your support line, isn't good customer service, your status page states there are no issues still! Thanks to @VOXI_UK I've been able to set up a hotspot to at least answer some emails!
