  • 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)

  • 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)

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

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

  • 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

  • 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?!

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

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

  • 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

  • Arvin47370853 Arvin (@Arvin47370853) reported

    @Plusnet Hello there. I have had the worst, most unprofessional, disorganised experience with your company for nearly a month now. I have had to hold your hand through this whole thing. It's like I'm working to provide you a good service, not the other way round. Why is this?

  • pj_neris PJN (@pj_neris) reported

    @Plusnet I wrote before on the same problem but got no reply. My Broadband stops regularly for a few minutes and comes back on its own. Happened again on 4/6 at 01:55’-02:03’. This impacts my work and the operation of my security systems. Should I be looking to switch provider?

  • martypitts12 marty pitts (@martypitts12) reported

    @Plusnet I want to cancel terrible service

  • cockylad graham greaves (@cockylad) reported

    @Plusnet how do i change payment method? Says in help that you can use cc but payment details dont seem to be editable.

  • crofton1973 JH (@crofton1973) reported

    @DaveWallsworth @SkyHelpTeam @OpenreachHelp Nope. I moved back to BT after trying Vodafone, Plusnet amd Sky. Even though it all comes down the same line, other people in the village have problems and aren't on BT. I know they are not the cheapest but are extremely reliable. Cheap is not always best.

  • paulm19822012 Paul McGee M0WNU (@paulm19822012) reported from Richmond, England

    A few annoyances today, overcharged by a few pounds by Plusnet (a charge they said they'd apply in July) and the incompetent morons at Northern Powergrid sending me emails about the future of the network that they fail to maintain, not sure how the latter got my email address

  • Gil_Bertino Gilbert (@Gil_Bertino) reported

    @Plusnet 3 months and 4 engineer visits to resolve an ongoing broadband fault, and its returned. Can I get an escalation? Can I get a senior engineer? Can I speak to someone senior? No, no and (what a surpirse) no. By far the worst organisation and service I've ever encountered.

  • krlstrngr Karl Stringer (@krlstrngr) reported

    @Plusnet No time of day is better/worse, and only 1 other network in range so no congestion. Speeds over wired connection when working from home can be painfully slow at times, and WiFi range is terrible. I have never had problems with Virgin or Zen in the past.

  • JontyPearce Jonty Pearce (@JontyPearce) reported

    Over 3 days with no Business Broadband from @plusnet. Nobody seems to be taking ownership of the problem. This is really poor customer service.

  • poisonmonkey1 Poisonmonkey (@poisonmonkey1) reported

    @Plusnet hi my Internet has been down for most of the day and so has a second line which comes into the same property (both with Plusnet), could you investigate?
