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

    @Plusnet why is the Internet speed shocking, been bad for a few days. And no nothing has changed inside the property

  • _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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • Billyhudson11 Billy Hudson (@Billyhudson11) reported from Tollesbury, England

    @Plusnet Broadband has been down now for well over 24 hours…

    @Plusnet Contacted your help centre and spoke with someone who had to refer the issue to the tech guys. Said he would call me back on Thursday 2 weeks ago, as the tech guys had 3 days to respond (I called on a Sunday pm) I’m still waiting for his response.

  • onairwithgareth Gareth Woods (@onairwithgareth) reported

    @Plusnet our wifi is not working, nothing is loading and when I say it’s slow, it’s so slow that nothing loads! I’m literally at my wits end with #plusnet.

  • paullyscotland Paul (@paullyscotland) reported

    @Plusnet my broadband service started with you today. Really disappointed that immediately before I got the message saying I could start to use the service you've already sent me an email saying the price is going up!!

  • Haylestone88 Hayley Firth (@Haylestone88) reported

    @O2 @thepeterhunt I'll just add that I agree with Peter, and I usually can't access the internet. Your team insisted it's plusnet, but it's not, it's the issues with accessing the internet on O2 when your masts are down as everything else works.

  • cruise_lowdown Kathy@Cruise Lowdown🛳 (@cruise_lowdown) reported

    @plusnet So frustrated with poor customer service. Owed £50 cashback but been unable to claim it. Several tickets raised, promises given, promises broken, tickets closed and still no sign of the refund. We have spent hours on phone waiting for non-existent call-backs. #PlusNet

  • EdSteenson ED Steenson (@EdSteenson) reported

    @Plusnet dreadful service. #complaint A week after supposedly having broadband signal I still have no internet!!! #disgraceful. How have the one best internet provider 8 years in a row!!!

  • featherytravels Katie Featherstone (Scotland/Iceland) (@featherytravels) reported

    @Plusnet Still not working I'm afraid. If you try to message me, maybe I can reply.

  • Steve_Bower Steve Bower (@Steve_Bower) reported

    @mostly_grumpy Compare the same package from Plusnet (uses EE network) & get EE to match price. My sim-only deal went from £28 to £12

  • GemmaWh0 Gemma Whitehead (@GemmaWh0) reported

    @Plusnet I’m trying to report a problem with my broadband but your reporting line is not connecting. My service and speed has been worsening over the last month and is now at a virtual standstill!!

  • SAMMMYx Sammy Bentley ✶ (@SAMMMYx) reported

    @Plusnet my 90 year old grandad is having no end of issues with your webmail, I can confirm this isn’t internet or laptop, I’ve cleared the cache and now at dead end, what do we need to do as everything has moved online?
