  • 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?!

  • 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)

  • 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.

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

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

  • 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)

    @MartinSLewis here is sharp, utility industry, practice. I don't know if you have covered it. 88 year-old Mum, watching the £, existing landline/broadband provider @Plusnet contract due to end; cost £26 increasing to £40.64. Another provider offering same service for £18.99 1/4

  • 187DZA Sofa Sundays (@187DZA) reported

    @JHow989 @Plusnet @plusnethelp I’m happy I turn down an engineer role there you find the problem to be bt as the lines are rented from them.

  • MarkEngland_ Mark England (@MarkEngland_) reported

    @Plusnet Very unimpressed with my call to you today to arrange a house move. Will not be renewing when the time is up. From a previously very loyal customer of 10 years +.

  • HelloNikDesign H E L L O I M N I K 🖍 (@HelloNikDesign) reported

    @TimGander @virginmedia But I will say, even though Plusnet are on a BT line, they are good - I went to them about a new customer deal as an existing customer and they gave it to me, so swings and roundabouts

  • John02620301 John (@John02620301) reported

    @plusnethelp Having loads of problems with plusnet internet going down 3-4 times/day anyone else having similar issues? At the stage where I need to change provider

  • Djrose2k3 Ross lixton (@Djrose2k3) reported

    @Plusnet can you help me with connection/speed issues?

  • loobyroberts ☆Lucy Lou☆ (@loobyroberts) reported

    Absolutely shocking service from @Plusnet House move should have been completed 2 weeks ago, they arranged an appointment for today without consulting me and then didn't even turn up. Cant even get through on phone. Not like I need broadband in a pandemic or anything 😠

  • drl David Lewis (@drl) reported

    @gemisinlondon The plusnet connections are fairly decent for the price, but unfortunately the standard WiFi routers they send out are some of the worst out there.

  • willowbotanics Ruth 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🌹🏳️‍🌈☮️🧙🏼‍♀️🐱📻🎭 (@willowbotanics) reported

    Absolute worst home service decision I ever made was move from Sky broadband + phone to Plusnet. I've been bombarded with scam calls constantly since changing. I miss Sky and Talk Shield I had SO MUCH 😭 Actually counting the months til I'm out of contract 6 down, 12 to go! 😢
