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

  • 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

  • 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 🙄

  • 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)

  • Lizzyr59 Lizzy Robinson (@Lizzyr59) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @Plusnet Outage in Newcastle? No broadband since 8pm

  • 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?!

  • stevegaish stevegaish (@stevegaish) reported from Whickham, England

    @Plusnet Hi its Stevegaish. I have emailed on numerous occasions but still no resolution.

  • 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.

  • 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

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

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

  • 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)

  • 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

    Is plusnet wifi not working for anybody else right now

  • BansheeRodders Alan Roderick (@BansheeRodders) reported

    @Plusnet wonderful service from Stephen on the broadband help desk tonight. He was knowledgeable, helpful and determined to fix the problem for good.

  • oliverwebster92 Oliver (@oliverwebster92) reported

    @Ofcom why are openreach still working in the stone age? 10 days for them to connect a service in 2022 when a lot of people work from home is a joke! They ceased the previous owners connection on the 14th and I’d already placed an order with @Plusnet why couldn’t they connect it

  • b5wslindsay William (Bill) Lindsay (@b5wslindsay) reported

    Open reach appear not to be honouring Ofcom instructions. They turn down instillations by competitors using their services. Illegal? Anyone else having problems getting their broadband set up? (Eg PlusNet set up turned down because they use Openreach and their offer undercut BTs)

  • PeterMo82489180 Peter Morgan (@PeterMo82489180) reported

    @Plusnet Well ???? Where is the chase up ?? No communication still not working ???????????

  • angelagbtt Angela Grantdean (@angelagbtt) reported

    @Plusnet existing broadband customer- can i take my current contract to a new address or do i have to cancel and start a new contract?

  • ukanimals laura caunce (@ukanimals) reported

    @Plusnet I want to cancel my plusnet account but I cannot ring and there's no email address

  • supersonicmike Michael (@supersonicmike) reported

    @Plusnet Hello! I'm very sadly needing to cancel my service to switch provider to cable (youknowwho). Am gutted to switch but it's a matter of speed in my area unfortunately. Can I cancel online as couldn't get through on phone?

  • oliverwebster92 Oliver (@oliverwebster92) reported

    @Plusnet My life would be easier if openreach wasn’t prehistoric and allowed you to connect my service in less than 10 working days! Considering they have just ceased the previous owners Plusnet service on the same line, you’d think they’d be able to connect mine at the same time 🙄
