  • 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

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

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

  • 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)

    @Plusnet @Gottzy Email still down for me. My SMTP client asks me for my password (normally automatic) and says that Plusnet server can't accept it saying that"it is a temporary problem" Cold boot of PC doesn't solve the problem.

  • Philgeorge555 Phil George Author (@Philgeorge555) reported

    @Plusnet I am now getting an 'encryption' error message when trying to send email. Is this part of your problem and if so when will it be fixed?

  • KarlNewbold2 Karl Newbold (@KarlNewbold2) reported

    Hello. I am having problems signing into my community account. I have sent 4 reset my password requests but i have not had any replies what so ever. Thank you Karl (plusnet customer)

  • RobertMHill Robert Hill 󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇷🇪🇺 (@RobertMHill) reported

    @Plusnet Although you say users should be able to access their emails now, this is not the case. Still nothing working. This is very poor service.

  • EltontoNick The Calmer Llama (@EltontoNick) reported

    @Plusnet @Forestvon thats incorrect. Still getting the service not available page. Don't you have *any* real time monitoring?

  • AdrianRP62 AdrianRP (@AdrianRP62) reported

    @Plusnet Hi there, this is not the issue I am having. I can receive emails but I am unable to send. I get an error message of “undeliverable…error 550.” This has been going on for 3 days now. Grateful if you could investigate. Thanks

  • KarlNewbold2 Karl Newbold (@KarlNewbold2) reported

  • hundredabovedh Paul Jennings (@hundredabovedh) reported

    @TonyOcton @Plusnet Why not do as most people do and get a back up account with another provider, especially as you're a business user - that way you'll at least have a back up system. I can understand your frustration, but you have an alternative solution.

  • lynnk1 lynn king (@lynnk1) reported

    Really having a bad day cannot get my Plusnet Mail account to add to my other mail address I'm really not a techno

  • Plusnet Plusnet (@Plusnet) reported

    @LoneLeVay Glad to hear you've been able to receive some emails. We are aware the issue is still causing some delays to mail being sent and received, but you should be able to access the mailbox now with no issues. - Jess, Plusnet Leeds 🌻
