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

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

  • 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)

  • 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 🙄

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

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

  • 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)

  • 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?!

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

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

  • bobbyjackdotme Bobby Jack (@bobbyjackdotme) reported

    @Plusnet "An engineer will be with you between 8am and 1pm and we'll let you know in advance exactly when" Why make this promise when you can't stick to it? Why not tell a customer, who has made themselves available for a 5 hour slot, when you're not going to turn up?

  • OrShallot ShallotOrNot (@OrShallot) reported

    @Felix_F_Fern In all seriousness, they live somewhere else now & the coverage is pretty good - a few blindspots but the house is an odd shape - & the customer service is excellent. I used to have plusnet & again good coverage & customer service.

  • ajpickering Amanda 💙 (@ajpickering) reported

    Hello @Plusnet - is anyone able to help please? I am using up all my mobile data as my broadband has not been activated as promised. Seriously starting to regret my decision to switch to Plusnet

  • robjo2112 ROBERT JOHNSON (@robjo2112) reported

    @WeAreOpenreach @Plusnet And then I could get normal broadband set up (quicker than these idiots can fix this).

  • akendolfr Akendolfr (@akendolfr) reported

    @Plusnet The price went up, but now the internet is down. Planning on actually fixing this?

  • PhilCambs Phil Jacoby (@PhilCambs) reported

    @Plusnet Hi, I need to sort out an issue with my broadband contract. I rang Plusnet yesterday but I believe I was given incorrect information by the call handler. Is there an email address to contact Plusnet please? Thank you.

  • contentismyjam Annette Clubley (@contentismyjam) reported

    @Plusnet how do you get award winning customer service from the most reliable broadband provider when you can't reach anyone on phone / email / dm and you have been sold a contract for a service you apparently cannot provide! #broadband

  • paullyscotland Paul (@paullyscotland) reported

    @Plusnet But given that I've just joined you, why couldn't you get the advertised prices right? Surely any price rise shouldn't take effect before the service even starts!

  • _davidhansard David Hansard (@_davidhansard) reported

    I don't mind too much waiting in a queue, @Plusnet, especially on a Friday afternoon, but the music is torture. Perhaps the worst I've heard with any company. Having said I don't mind waiting, bit surprised the wait is so long, because I chose 'Thinking of becoming a customer'.

  • sierradoesstuff s i e r r a 💽 (@sierradoesstuff) reported

    @Felix_F_Fern Openreach based broadband is all of similar quality. However plusnet are awful so any opportunity to not use them I’d take
