    @Plusnet I need to contact someone on behalf of an elderly family member whose router has stopped working, completely! No email and currently no live chat to help resolve. Please advise asap, thanks. DM me if necessary, thanks.

    @bt_uk It would be helpful if you updated your website to show known service issues and outages. Outage in Manchester today is a known issue yet nothing on your site. Plusnet informed me.

  • sweetiesal
    Sally O’Shea (@sweetiesal) reported from Sale, England

    Zero communication or update on @Plusnet website about the fact the network is clearly down across the UK- you can’t even get a dial tone when ringing their customer services either. What is going on?!

  • aracoroneld
    Araceli Coronel (@aracoroneld) reported from Manchester, England

    @Plusnet could you please help me? I paid for your service more than 20 days ago and I still don't have internet. I'm calling but nobody is answering.

  • LeahWhitehorse
    Leah Whitehorse (@LeahWhitehorse) reported from Salford, England

    If you are in South Manchester and have an issue with broadband, there is a BT incident in the area. Not showing on their website! Plusnet informed me should be fixed this afternoon. Check with your provider.

    @Plusnet you are the worst I ever used. I just want things to come back to normal so I can change ... never use #plusnet it’s the worst. Slow... expensive ... and no response if you call

    Bit **** how I’ve been on the phone to plusnet around 6 times now regarding my broadband which isn’t working and after failing to phone me back like they promised yesterday they finally report it as a fault in the line which could take 3-5 days to be addressed.

    @code_sean @bt_uk Happened to me earlier this year so switched to @Plusnet, similar service but cheaper.

    Sally O’Shea (@sweetiesal) reported from Sale, England

    @altrinchamhq @Plusnet Yes it’s down for me in WA14, I had tried everything and was so confused as was appearing connected on the router! Not good from them to provide zero updates.

  • jamesksowerby
    Sups Like a Sumerian. (@jamesksowerby) reported from Bolton, England

    It has been a rubbish online week with the internet down for hours, with @Plusnet still charging, and my relying on my mobile signal more than usual

  • PrintCityMMU
    PrintCity: 3D, Innovate, Educate, Collaborate (@PrintCityMMU) reported from Stockport, England

    @Plusnet In your booklet that arrives with the router, you advertise 7:30am to 10:00pm. I call you for two occasions that don’t answer for 30 minutes each. At 8pm, it tells me customer service is now closed. What terrible service. Your billing systems work great though

    @Plusnet hello! Last week I phoned to say I wanted to stay with your service - now I have a load of texts from you telling me my installation and router are set to happen/arrive - but I’m already installed and have a router…this is surreal

  • Schmuley_Schlo
    Meersham (@Schmuley_Schlo) reported

    @heid_the_baw_ @virginmedia I chose plusnet because their customer service is good, never had much trouble been with them for years now after switching every couple of years

    @Plusnet No you don't have a dedicated bereavement team. I have ready phoned numerous times & posted on X - was promised a call back & then nothing. Not expecting any help you are useless. Just want to make people aware how you treat bereaved families

  • highflier100
    Icarus Falling (@highflier100) reported

    @Plusnet I keep getting an "unfortunately we've hit a problem" when logging into my account to pay the bill. Plus my connection isnt very good. Solution for this?

  • bigbadllama
    BigBadLlama (@bigbadllama) reported

    @Plusnet can you help? I got an email saying I'm leaving for another provider which isn't true, I haven't even been shopping around. I can't call customer service because I'm working overseas atm

  • Noobletscom
    Nooblets (@Noobletscom) reported

    @WeAreOpenreach @DCMS My Internet was working for less than a week, then I was disconnected. 1/ Why cannot Plusnet contact you, and ask if my internet is still active? 2/ Why can the public not contact you, to see if a Openreach team is in the area, and has disconnected people by mistake. (So they can fix their mistake there) 3/ Why can the public not contact you AT ALL! 4/ Why does the public have to wait 3 days for any problem that Openreach could have caused? Get a Systems Analyst in, (of which I am one), to find all the inadequate systems your managers are currently running! Because a 3 days wait for any problem, is something someone needs to get Fired for!

    @drink_the_wind @Plusnet I was sent this re E1: We've tested your service and found an issue in your local area. We're sorry for any inconvenience. We know how important it is to have a reliable connection, so we're working really hard to get you back up and running by 22-Aug-2026 23:59 Thanks

    It's now been over a week without broadband and still no confirmed fix time. According to Plusnet, Openreach don't even work on problems over a weekend.Not good enough! @Plusnet @WeAreOpenreach

  • rockposer
    Rockposer Dot Com (@rockposer) reported

    @Plusnet I rang (for the 3rd time) I am still none the wiser to what the actuall problem is. @WeAreOpenreach are not to be seen, local people are all being told different things by their ISP's. No broadband for over a week is unacceptable @southkesteven
