    @plusnethelp having problem with broadband setup. new customer as of 26 March. should have been up & running today, seamlessly. Plusnet hub has blue light but no broadband. Not impressed. Previous provider, Daisy working 100% on Wednesday. Please DM ASAP, order no: 0-3905409.

  • rider45 Brian O'Keefe (@rider45) reported from Great Baddow, England

    @K_Katastrophe @DebbieFletcher @bt_uk Plusnet is separate from BT but owned by them, I think you’ll find with the big companies that customer service is poor, especially now with many call centres cut back, I’ve been with BT broadband since 2001 not let me down thus far.

  • theexterminato9 The Exterminator Pest Control (@theexterminato9) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @Plusnet Another day and another evening of useless so called fibre b/b. When can we leave this poor excuse of a service to a decent one

  • _RyanLegg Ryan (@_RyanLegg) reported from Halstead, England

    @plusnethelp - Hi Plusnet, I’ve been advised by another provider, I am interested in moving to, that my line shows I am already a customer of theirs but I’m a customer of yours. They believe that you guys need to review why it’s showing I’m with multiple providers, can you help.

    Christmas Eve-Eve and the internet goes down - PlusNet have switched us over to fibre and the last time they tried we had huge issues. I set up the router and wait for the lights to settle..... It works! Hallelujah! 🙌 2021 will be a good year 👍

  • lori_sutton lori sutton (@lori_sutton) reported

    @Plusnet please help. I can’t watch anything other than live tv as everything constantly buffers.

  • scottgoodacre Scott Goodacre (@scottgoodacre) reported

    @nathanlawsn We left BT for PlusNet. It’s literally the same network, rebranded, often with free line rental offers on. So we effectively stayed with BT while saving £20 per month.

  • _jonb No longer the man I once was (@_jonb) reported

    @allyc375 @Plusnet Best of luck. If you have any problems let me know. I'm not proper IT support but I have form for fixing @mikechitty's successfully

  • paulb323 Paul (@paulb323) reported

    @plusnethelp Hi. I’ve written out steps for the test results and added to the question in Plusnet support page as a comment. TLDR: no broadband connection via test socket, and download speed magically resetting after test socket connection. I think the hub unit is faulty.

  • Cleary1David David Cleary (@Cleary1David) reported

    @MarcAllera 2. This did not happen. I informed @plusnet of this 14th Dec, and they raised a question.I was told that I would hear by 16th. Of course @plusnet did not contact me. It is now the 23rd and I have contacted customer service.

  • Cleary1David David Cleary (@Cleary1David) reported

    @MarcAllera Good afternoon Marc, Hope all is good for you. I'm a new Plusnet customer hoping to be connected to your @Plusnet service . Customer service is very poor and certainly not first class or award wining. My connection was supposed to happen on Dec 11th.

  • allyc375 Alison Cameron 🤍❤️🤍 (@allyc375) reported

    @sandra04850184 @Plusnet The point is I need it to get through Christmas. My TV aerial is not working so will have no internet & no TV. It’s rather risky for me.

  • kaiwisd0m kaiwisd0m (@kaiwisd0m) reported

    Never, EVER get Sky internet. They are the single worst Internet provider I have ever seen. Go for something like Plusnet or TalkTalk, don't fall into Sky's money-grabbing trap.

  • LisavHeereveld Lisa van Heereveld (@LisavHeereveld) reported

    @nathanlawsn Plusnet used to be really good for customer service but it's gotten really shitty. I'm switching away from them. Probably to talktalk because they have a good deal on but no doubt their customer service is equally ****
