  • 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.

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

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

  • 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 🙄

  • gavinhlancaster Lord Gavin Lancaster (@gavinhlancaster) reported from Hartlepool, England

    Hi @Plusnet @plusnethelp i have an ongoing issue with my internet of having no connection, i can not get through to anyone and i feel like i am getting no where. Do i need to go elsewhere? £45 per month is crazy when i don’t even get a connection

  • 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)

  • Bigsplashtwit Peter Cailey (@Bigsplashtwit) reported

    @plusnet. Where is all the help you brag about, I've spent hours on hold trying to get the BT sports app to work. Poor, very poor.

  • PWMMacro Paul Wyn Martin (@PWMMacro) reported

    No @SkyUK TV until engineer can get here on Monday 20th my dish is flaking/rusting away, but now for the first time since I’ve had it @Plusnet fibre is having issues. So we can’t watch Sky online either. My four children about to have a meltdown no TV & no internet.

  • VICTORLYNWILLI1 VICTOR LYN WILLIAMS (@VICTORLYNWILLI1) reported

    @Plusnet I'm a plusnet customer and have BT sport on my computer. How can I get it on my TV

  • MoragSievwright MoragSees 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🤗🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@MoragSievwright) reported

    I have had the most poor customer service call with someone at @Plusnet he also refused to let me speak to a supervisor saying he ‘wasn’t inclined to let me do that’ what a really cheeky response? I’m leaving them anyway as the reception poor here in Dundee.

  • MarcusJJones Marcus Jones (@MarcusJJones) reported

    @Plusnet is there a problem with your Internet service in Barnet, mine has been going on and off for the whole day?

  • jaggythistle50 jaggy thistle (@jaggythistle50) reported

    @MoragSievwright @Plusnet Had a dreadful experience with plusnet. One advisor told me I was expecting too much to run my phone and TV on WiFi. Another suggested my washing machine or a neighbour was causing problems. One mention of Ofcom on twitter got my contract cancelled

  • asandysmith Andy Smith (@asandysmith) reported

    @Plusnet is internet down in the midlands ?

  • Sarah81794915 Sarah (@Sarah81794915) reported

    @Plusnet my internet connection with you is very unreliable- I have fibre and live around London. Download speed keeps dropping to 1mbps, it’s making WFH impossible. Works for a bit after reset (download 63mbps then just stops again). Please help

  • ukrols Roly Tree (@ukrols) reported

    @lottyburns @BT @Plusnet have excellent customer service, one of the few ISP's where if necessary you can speak to an engineer rather just script following call centers.

  • Sarah81794915 Sarah (@Sarah81794915) reported

    @Plusnet my internet speed keeps collapsing (I have fibre with you) to download speed of 1mbps, if I reset the router it works fine for a few hours then stops working again. Has been doing this for a few wks. Please help, i’m working from home and it’s so unreliable.
