  • 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

    @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.

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

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

  • 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)

  • remenos Joanne Emerson (@remenos) reported from Sherburn Hill, England

    @PickGS @Plusnet @plusnethelp It’s blatant profiteering - I need broadband to work from home and I’m now paying £35 instead of £22 - and to think their selling point was excellent UK customer 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

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

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

  • 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?!

  • 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)

    @Shortwasp I've had Plusnet broadband for ages ( part of BT now) never had any issues. Get BT sport from them at £10/m. Dont get access to BT Sport app though as discounted price . Worth a look.

  • gunner_del Del (@gunner_del) reported

  • Antonel58982078 Antnello (@Antonel58982078) reported

    @plusnethelp switched from the 8th january but not router been delivered as of today. Not router= no broadband = not work. Never experienced such unprofessionalism how can you post router 2 days before activation on normal delivery in such time. bad start #badservice #plusnet

  • 69polaris69 Paul H (@69polaris69) reported

    @davidleeraynor @virginmedia So why are not other providers doing this? #VirginGreedier have been doing this FOR YEARS-so to use lockdown as an excuse is really poor! Walk away like I did-Freview or Freesat is FREE-just buy a #HUMAX box for recording and switch to someone like #plusnet-I have saved THOUSANDS

  • jenva15 jenva (@jenva15) reported

    Can somebody help? @Plusnet @plusnethelp I have sent a DM

  • Hullock_ J Hullock (@Hullock_) reported

    @plusnethelp how do I get a new Plusnet router, my router is 4 or 5 years old but it keeps playing up and I'm needing to reset it all the time just to get it to work. Loyal Plusnet customer

  • IanDavidFisher Ian Fisher (@IanDavidFisher) reported

    @JamesAALongman Yes. A @Plusnet hub 1 which constantly (multiple times daily) disconnects WiFi and has done for almost 2 years. Plusnet has failed to remedy the issue despite the issues facing consumers over the last 12 months.

  • MissSutcliffe Miss S (@MissSutcliffe) reported

    My wifi is struggling under the strain of online lessons and keeps glitching at the worst points - is this a normal teacher thing or can you help @Plusnet @plusnethelp ?

  • garcon00 Mike Shaw (@garcon00) reported

    @DickieMeaden Been on Vodafone for years. Coverage ok where I am but customer service not so much. If 4G SIM only suits, worth looking at Plusnet (they use EE).
