    @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.

  • _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.

  • DenchMagliocco Joe Magliocco (@DenchMagliocco) reported

    Nice one @Plusnet Did not sort my broadband when I moved in Tues, delayed till Fri. Now it’s not working and I’ve been told I need an engineer who won’t come till Weds 6pm. Absolutely terrible. Shame, because its always been a good service. Regret not switching. Not proud.

  • BenjaminEHowe Ben (@BenjaminEHowe) reported

    @Plusnet Do you offer VoLTE (i.e. access to EE's 800MHz signal) yet?

  • Plusnet Plusnet (@Plusnet) reported

    @MsGinnelleD Hi there. Are you still having connection problems? If so, please can you confirm whether these are solely affecting your wireless connections or if wired connections are affected too? Regards, Emily Plusnet Leeds

  • orchard_end Ian Watson (@orchard_end) reported

    @Plusnet if the site looks at that ( eg Apple ) Is there a fix to tell the sim what number it now is please.

  • orchard_end Ian Watson (@orchard_end) reported

    @Plusnet Yes it arrived eventually but as you know I was not happy to lose service for over a day. The ported number worked straight away but the sim reports itself to the phone with its original number which has cause some issue using it for second factor authentication

  • kirstii03 Kirsty 🌻 (@kirstii03) reported

    @Plusnet Help! My house rabbit has chewed through my main broadband router cable that plugs into the wall socket. Where do I get a new one? I hardly have any data on my phone either? 😔 Not sure what to do! #chronicillnessblogger

  • masheik sheikrazak (@masheik) reported

    @Plusnet I want to cancel one of my contracts with plusnet. I received STAC code which I will not use. I am not planning to take contract with new provider. I called to discuss this but got response as the line closed. Could you please close the contract account no 98888497.

  • philwells_iow Philip Wells (@philwells_iow) reported

    @Plusnet our broadband has been down since 1pm yesterday due to “a local incident”. You said it would be back up and running by 7pm yesterday. Didn’t come back on. Text then said it would not be back on until 7pm today. Does it really take that long?
