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

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

  • 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

  • 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)

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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?!

Plusnet Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • PhosgeneStudios Jake W (@PhosgeneStudios) reported

    @Jonmitson @plusnethelp The routers do have a tendency to have a high-pitched/frequency noise. Plusnet are aware of this, and the issue only occurs when 5GHz is enabled. :)

  • SteveDonovan1 Steve Donovan (@SteveDonovan1) reported

    @virginmedia Feedback from a colleague with exactly the same issue a few months ago - she simply resolved her problem by switching suppliers to Plusnet. Her problem solved. In the absence of any proper official technical advice from Virgin, I could perhaps take my 15yrs of custom elsewhere.

  • Whitehughes Susan Whitehouse (@Whitehughes) reported

    @plusnethelp We have already done this several times and been told you don't know what the problem is. On one of these occasions we made an appointment for an engineer to come who didn't show up. We are now leaving Plusnet.

  • HannahBeanbag83 Hannah Webster (@HannahBeanbag83) reported

    @Plusnet so disappointed in your service. I’ve recently upgraded and you still refuse to honour the £70 cash back you offered when I first signed up. Slowest customer service ever. You’re happy to take my money, just not honour your own promises.

  • redfellterrier Tony King (@redfellterrier) reported

    Hello @Plusnet, do you ever answer the phone? No support whatsoever from your useless automated chat function ("Joe" is obviously an obstructive computer programme) and no answer when I try to call.

  • housley5 5arah (@housley5) reported

    @Plusnet confused how you have 'lost' my parents house phone number that they have had for 35years by renewing their existing contract but claim they are now new customers? Surely you can re-asign it back to them - who doesnt remember their home tel number....???? Help pls

  • Sue54758994 Sue (@Sue54758994) reported

    @plusnethelp I signed up for Plusnet yesterday but now want to cancel my order. When I phone I'm told no-one is available and phone back tomorrow, messages sent on FB yesterday remain unread, I don't know how I'm supposed to get in contact with anyone 😠

  • jazzabellediary jazmine marie rocks (@jazzabellediary) reported

    @plusnethelp this has been an ongoing issue for a month now. i’m in regular communication with the plusnet team & i hope this will be resolved asap. thanks for your offer but i do not have the energy to explain this issue via dm when i have done so via phone multiple times over the last month

  • natalie31190917 natalie (@natalie31190917) reported

    @Plusnet can you confirm whether there are broadband issues in north west , postal code FY3 please?

  • Madfuncreative caroline Madaher (@Madfuncreative) reported

    Real issues with @Plusnet @plusnethelp WiFi cutting out and poor signal not great for 3 kids in online school and parents working from home. WiFi completely out this morning anyone else got trouble?
