  • 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?!

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

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

  • 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

    @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.

  • 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)

  • 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)

  • binderella1 Bindi Pandya (@binderella1) reported

    @plusnethelp Hi. I moved to plusnet broadband a month ago and find my WiFi connection unreliable. I can’t do things like watch YouTube or have WhatsApp video calls without buffering or getting “reconnecting” messages. It’s quite unusable and disappointing. Can you help please?

  • etkwebster Verminous Scot Liz(rebellious independenista) (@etkwebster) reported

    I can only tweet when I'm back at the bothy as my piece of crap network provider Smarty has no signal here since I arrived.😠 Soon as I get home I'm changing to Plusnet same as hubby who's signal is good.

  • iusher Ian Usher (@iusher) reported from Bognor Regis, England

    @Victrix75 @Plusnet @BT As long as the router is taking the connecrion in OK, the mesh system completely does the "wifi around the house" part - so it's an immediate improvement. I can't recommend them enough. (If the router is faulty and the signal isn't getting in, then a mesh network won't help.)

  • plusnethelp Plusnet Help (@plusnethelp) reported

    @GreeningEdward Hi Edward, Thanks for getting in touch, sorry to hear you want to leave Plusnet. Unfortunately we’re not able to cancel your contract here, please call 0800 013 2632 and my colleague will be able to help. Regards, Emily Plusnet Leeds

    I'm on the verge of losing my ****, why ******** is my Internet so ******* bad today **** you @Plusnet **** you @bt_uk

  • joefw02 Joe febery-watts (@joefw02) reported

    @plusnethelp there’s an issue with @DayZ that’s been going for over a year now from my knowledge where some servers just won’t load. I thought it was just down to my area but now someone else using plusnet has come to me personally with the same issue! This is pretty bad from you

  • jillywincho Jill Winchester (@jillywincho) reported

    @Plusnet @Plusnet if you’re part of the BT family why do I have pay £200 of charges to go to BT when your service doesn’t work? Also asked to throw away the modem or sent it back- surely there is a more green way of re-using modems. #poorcustomerservice #daylightrobbery

  • IanHowardMann Ian Howard Mann (@IanHowardMann) reported

    Wow... As soon as it hit 8pm the technician at @Plusnet just hung up on me without a word. Charming. He was incredibly rude as it was. @plusnethelp

  • kevinblackmore Kevin Blackmore (@kevinblackmore) reported

    @plusnethelp Hello, I signed up to Plusnet on 19 April via the Topcashback site, but my cashback has not tracked. Who can I contact to find out why ? Also is it too late to cancel if the cashbacxk is not going to be paid. Thanks

  • razzahopkiins ラザホプキンス (@razzahopkiins) reported

    Why ******** is plus plusnet so ****, it's actually diabolical how much they lie about their Internet speeds, **** plusnet and **** BT, that is all :)
