  • LeDreamboat Scott ⚫️⚪️ (@LeDreamboat) reported from Sacriston, England

    Don’t ever get @Plusnet broadband! Tried to cancel within 14 days of it going live due to it being absolutely useless, to then be told the cooling off period was from when I signed up!! 🤬. (Had to switch the WiFi off to tweet this)

  • fredspoon Philip 👌🏼 (@fredspoon) reported from Chester-le-Street, England

    Broadband down at home @Plusnet not great said there some fault needs and engineer.

  • ChattonCottages Sheila Bull (@ChattonCottages) reported from Riding Mill, England

    @Plusnet If only..... 3 months ans till not connected. Dreadful service

  • 2012neil2012 Outdoorsey (@2012neil2012) reported from Dunston, England

    @Plusnet I am having issues with my home WiFi connection since doing a separate password change on my plusnet online account. Do you have an email address I can send router reference images to , to discuss / resolve? Many thanks

  • mouse5555 Lynn Dixon (@mouse5555) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @Plusnet Don’t worry about it plusnet doesn’t work for long enough for anyone to have issues with safety

  • HannahRose1401 Hannah Jeffrey 🇪🇺 (@HannahRose1401) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    Has your Internet gone down @plusnethelp @Plusnet? NHS worker struggling to work from home here.

  • Johnad25 John Adams (@Johnad25) reported from Durham, England

    @benjymous @Plusnet Sounds much more like it from their customer services. I’ll try and use the referral code if I can, but it may clash with the Bluelight discount my wife gets. Gouging a #keyworker in a global crisis isn’t classy thanks again @EE.

  • Johnad25 John Adams (@Johnad25) reported from Durham, England

    From recent experience I can confirm this tweet is total nonsense. I’m moving all of my services elsewhere. Customer service 0/10, shambles. I suggest you all check if you can get a better deal elsewhere. (@Plusnet expect my call)

  • BlocknBottle Block & Bottle (@BlocknBottle) reported from Walker Gate, England

    @Plusnet HELP! Our internet’s gone down, how can we get it up and running in the next 1 hour and 11 minutes before we open?!

  • Lizzyr59 Lizzy Robinson (@Lizzyr59) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @Plusnet Outage in Newcastle? No broadband since 8pm

  • Pasquills Donna Pasquill 🏳️‍⚧️ (@Pasquills) reported

    I am sick of this now, I am paying for full fibre and getting no fibre. Sort this out @Plusnet I want compensation as I can not use my internet to stream any tv. Should never have renewed the contract last month. It has been useless. I have sent DM like asked.

  • legendkiller2k8 LegendKiller2k ™⚪ (@legendkiller2k8) reported

    @Ofcom what's the point of a ombudsman service when they just go in favour of the company any despite evidence showing the company are in the wrong? M,oney talks i guess a waste of my time the Ombudsman is fine i shall take @Plusnet to court instead and you too.

  • MorrisJonathan Jonathan Morris (@MorrisJonathan) reported

    @Plusnet Why does your router broadcast a hidden SSID? I haven't set it up to do this and don't appear to be able to turn this "hidden network" off (unless I switch the router off obviously)

  • lestack Photo Of Elon Musk With Gislane Maxwell (@lestack) reported

    @Plusnet hello, someone was supposed to activate my internet today but they didn’t come out. I got a text that my phone service is active, but that’s about as useful as toenails on an earthworm. When can I expect internet service?

  • strayficshion DrSuzanneConboy-Hill (@strayficshion) reported

    @Plusnet Not when you need to contact them via text or reply to a text concerning an ongoing incident. Why is it not in your network when organisations such as @UKPowerNetworks use short form to contact users in the event of an emergency?

  • JagoDavies Jago Davies (@JagoDavies) reported

    @OpenreachHelp We are trying to switch to a new provider for business broadband (currently with O2) but we have tried to get services from TalkTalk and PlusNet but they can't find our address on the system and cancel our order - can someone please help to identify our line!

  • undermysp3ll y (@undermysp3ll) reported

    @Plusnet the customer service gives false promises of the date and providing call backs to update me but that never happens. If I didn’t hound them myself I’d have to wait a whole month. I’m extremely stressed my mobile data is about to finish what am I supposed to do?

  • messalinahooper grace hooper (@messalinahooper) reported

    Remember the early days of Internet when it took hours to download a film because of buffering well @Plusnet your "service" is just like this! 3 engineers and 1 router later

  • Farmo05 Caro JH 🇬🇧🇳🇴🇺🇸🇨🇦🇮🇱🇸🇪🇩🇪🇺🇦 (@Farmo05) reported

    @petemorristwit We used to have BT Broadband, but when costs shot thru the roof we went to PlusNet (believe a subsidiary of BT). We've never looked back. But can't advise on TV, but there are so many great streaming programmes now.

  • JoshuaMcDermid Josh McDermid (@JoshuaMcDermid) reported

    @Plusnet Still no reply to my tweets, messages or case raised on website. Useless customer service. Internet connection is continually dropping meaning I am having to use data. Need a reply asap, and will be expecting compensation for the loss of internet and data usage.
