    @Plusnet I need to contact someone on behalf of an elderly family member whose router has stopped working, completely! No email and currently no live chat to help resolve. Please advise asap, thanks. DM me if necessary, thanks.

  • StoneTyres Stone Tyres (@StoneTyres) reported from St Helens, England

    PHONE LINE DOWN Please bear with us. Our @Plusnet phone line has gone down. Divert will take at least an hour to be activated. Feel free to message us on here. Apologies, we are looking for a more reliable supplier as we speak.

  • Siftah John Baxendale (@Siftah) reported from Manchester, England

    @adechapmanlaw Problem is their phone line is crap, so PlusNet (who they were previously with) also would never get the phone line sorted and they were left with the same crappy speeds. Have signed them up with Sky fibre for less than they were paying for ADSL!

  • joniredchops Joniredchops (@joniredchops) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia Cancelled yesterday. Was happy at £25 a month. Looks like we're off to Vodafone or Plusnet for £22. Shame really, been a decent service.

  • alexjb24 Alex 🐝 (@alexjb24) reported from Salford, England

    @Plusnet @plusnethelp hi, my broadband service today and yesterday has been shocking. It has cut out 8 times in the past 3 hours alone which is unacceptable as I need it to work from home (so I’ve had to use loads of my mobile data allowance). Can you please tell me when I 1/2

  • Cuttsrich rich cutts (@Cuttsrich) reported from Tyldesley, England

    @virginmedia Mmm. 2 days loss of service in a week. Not good. Maybe I'll speak to that nice chappie in Sheffield at PlusNet or maybe get BT Sports for free with BT Think you can do better tbh Voda do a cheap deal too...

  • Cavakaggy cavakaggy (@Cavakaggy) reported from Walkden, England

    @Plusnet mobile signal has been useless since Christmas, other users are also reporting this advise

  • MiguelGilbert24 Miguel Gilbert (@MiguelGilbert24) reported from Manchester, England

    @Plusnet I tried all you ask me to try... you are the worse network ever. You expensive you slow and you basic. On this lockdown you were terrible... but still can merge with @VodafoneUK that charge 7 pounds for a call they didn’t pick up ...

  • nebzy17 nebzy (@nebzy17) reported from Manchester, England

    @Plusnet @IM_org Garbage. Your customer support is 💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩

  • emmabirdy Em (@emmabirdy) reported from Blackburn, England

    Thank you to the wonderful Emma from @Plusnet customer services team last night who is helping solve my internet issues and also made an hour on the phone to a call centre feel like 2 mins!! Let’s hope the engineer can fix it today #everythingscrossed #plusnet

  • trilok_chandra Trilok Chandra Jha 🇮🇳 (@trilok_chandra) reported from Manchester, England

    Hey @Plusnet all ok with your Mobile network.. Calls are not getting connected.

  • CroftJackie Jackie (@CroftJackie) reported from Up Holland, England

    @plusnethelp Someone called me back and then passed me onto a helpful lady. This has helped resume the internet but not the bad feeling we now have to Plusnet. We had the worst day ever being spoken to be such a rude, arrogant and pompous man who spoke spoke so rudely to myself and daughter

  • LucyLoopy86 Lucy Willis (@LucyLoopy86) reported from Standish, England

    @Plusnet what is going with the service tonight … I switched to you being told your better … but nope crap internet still 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

  • MShacks Michael Shackleton (@MShacks) reported from Accrington, England

  • jamesksowerby Sups Like a Sumerian. (@jamesksowerby) reported from Bolton, England

    It has been a rubbish online week with the internet down for hours, with @Plusnet still charging, and my relying on my mobile signal more than usual

  • micahscotttt mary queen of thots 🥦Ⓥ (@micahscotttt) reported from Manchester, England

    Bit **** how I’ve been on the phone to plusnet around 6 times now regarding my broadband which isn’t working and after failing to phone me back like they promised yesterday they finally report it as a fault in the line which could take 3-5 days to be addressed.

  • prjohn42 Peter Johnston (@prjohn42) reported

  • aggycraggy craig evans (@aggycraggy) reported

    @Plusnet hi I don't know what else I can do I've been a customer for 24 hrs and I'm having problems. I'm currently writing this whilst being in a queue for 26mins for some help this is not a great start

  • jamesstarsailor James Walsh (@jamesstarsailor) reported

    @plusnethelp I wonder if you could help me. I’ve just moved home & took my plusnet broadband with me. It was due to switch over today but as yet there is no service. What time does it usually activate by?

  • alantowle Madball (@alantowle) reported

    @Tonysmini @OpenreachHelp @VodafoneUK I've no service at all now. Openreach email on Christmas day said ultrafast now enabled. Arranged to transfer. Transfer/activation date was given as 15th and Plusnet ceased old service at that point. Vodafone, after me pushing, give various stories about what is happening

  • Vick_Leibt_Dich Vick Alex ☕️ (@Vick_Leibt_Dich) reported

    Mum says she has paid for this month. Either this is bullshit or plusnet are just this ******* bad. I've tried everything to fix this. I'm surprised it's allowed me on ******* twitter. I'm so angry right now everything is setting me up to fail.

  • corneliusvt72 Cormelius van Tonder (@corneliusvt72) reported

    @KateSlaterPR @Plusnet Worst customer service I have come across for a while! Telephone operators rude and unhelpful, plain and simple!

  • redfellterrier Tony King (@redfellterrier) reported

    Hello @Plusnet, do you ever answer the phone? No support whatsoever from your useless automated chat function ("Joe" is obviously an obstructive computer programme) and no answer when I try to call.

  • HoneymanLucy Lucy Honeyman (@HoneymanLucy) reported

    @Plusnet I've been disconnected from Shell, as planned, YOU have not sent me a new router or connected me! Nobody answers the phone! Help!

  • MaltBox Andy at Malt Box (@MaltBox) reported

    Twittersphere. Non-whisky question. Can anyone recommend a decent router sub £75? The @Plusnet router we've had for a couple of years is shambolic in terms of stability.. makes a right racket too.
