Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Houghton-Le-Spring and nearby locations:

  • 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.

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

    @Plusnet Outage in Newcastle? No broadband since 8pm

  • 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 🙄

  • 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?!

  • 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)

  • 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.

  • 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

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

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

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

    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

  • Yabs Yabu Lurie (@Yabs) reported

    @Plusnet Very disappointed to see that as an existing customer I am unable to access the same pricing as a new customer. I'm therefore taking my business to @zeninternet who have consistent pricing.

  • Bonnikin Bonnie (@Bonnikin) reported

    @Plusnet Hi team, my internet connection has been slow, patchy garbage for the last two weeks. Speed tests show that the upload and download speeds bounce between max and 0mbps. Can I report this online, don't want to have to sit on the phone if I can avoid it...

  • TonyMar24500610 Tony Martin (@TonyMar24500610) reported

    @Plusnet PLUSNET ARE A BUNCH OF THIEVES. Tried to scam me for £50 for a line when 2 active lines already existed. Failed to send me a modem, we requested to cancel the contract, bullied into having a second modem sent. Never used the service Now taken us to a credit agency for £111.98

  • i_massey Imelda Lindsay (@i_massey) reported

    @Plusnet still waiting for my phone line to be connected and broadband to happen….. absolute shambles. Don’t ask me to PM you as nothing gets done if I do!!!!!! Appalling company apart from one individual today called Alan who tried to calm me down🤬😡

  • RatHangUK Andrew... 🏳️‍🌈🇪🇺 (@RatHangUK) reported

  • laughingsince82 G (@laughingsince82) reported

    @J3Lyon Plusnet are really good and have a great customer service. I also use eero mesh network to make sure I get good coverage

  • emmawruns Emma 💛 (@emmawruns) reported

    @Plusnet Have just spoken to an operator on the phone - the way he spoke to me was appalling. Have been told there is an outage in my area until midnight Thursday and there's nothing you can do to help and was refusing to let me speak to a manager.

    @frecklesandpink Hi Katie, I'm sorry to hear about your service. So we can take a further look into this, are you able to confirm the Username via a DM please? - Curtis, Plusnet Sheffield
