  • 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.

    @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

  • deniseessex denise salman (@deniseessex) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @octoberclub We’re with plusnet but thinking of upgrading so good news! We have had zero problems with the regular speed broadband so far unlike TalkTalk.

  • PaulReid74 Paul Reid (@PaulReid74) reported from Dundonald, Northern Ireland

    @DannyCowanVO @Paul__Buckle @bt_uk @Plusnet @BTCare My advice... as soon as you leave BT, cancel your direct debit.

  • Gutbuster40 Gary Reynolds (@Gutbuster40) reported from Barnet, England

    @Plusnet @plusnethelp customer service a absolute joke

  • gillianography Bio & About Page Copywriter (@gillianography) reported from Y Felinheli, Wales

    Internet is slowing down from 10:30am @plusnet and doesn't work at full speed until early evening. While I realise there a lot of people working from home, that Also includes myself. I may be forced to find another provider if this doesn't improve.

  • Gutbuster40 Gary Reynolds (@Gutbuster40) reported from Barnet, England

    @Plusnet customer service a absolute joke

  • P3T3TT P3T3 TT 🇬🇧 (@P3T3TT) reported from Saint Dennis, England

    @EnigmaAMC @Plusnet Only ever had 1 issue with BT fibre and that was sorted fast. They even sent me a dongle type thing to get me back online while the net locally was down

  • SelinaWray Selina Wray 🍊 (@SelinaWray) reported from Lambeth, England

    1h on the phone to Plusnet trying to connect up a router I kindly got from my neighbour only to find out it’s locked and therefore can’t be used. Off for a lie down and a cry I think... 😂😂

  • JSweetman92 Josh Sweetman (@JSweetman92) reported from Havant, England

    'We'll do you proud' - @Plusnet Also @Plusnet - Internet goes down when we both need it to wfh, can't fix over the phone but apparently no need to send an engineer, but if they do and there doesn't appear to be a problem well charge you £65 Internet's been down for 5 hours now

  • singularityspnt Shaun Allan (@singularityspnt) reported from Grimsby, England

    @Plusnet @plusnethelp I just wanted to say I needed to ring your guys today, and the service I had way excellent.

  • Blitzwalker Steve Hunnisett (@Blitzwalker) reported from London, England

    @greenwichguide @maryorelse Mine does that too (Plusnet). I appreciate more people are working from home but the past couple of weeks, it’s been really slow and unreliable.
