  • tandleman Tandleman (@tandleman) reported from Middleton, England

    Getting fed up with @Plusnet who I have been with forever nearly. Every time it rains I lose my internet for a couple of minutes. When I log a fault they say it is fine now or monitor it for 2 days and close the incident. Of course it hasn't rained. Help!

  • DavidWildJnr David (@DavidWildJnr) reported from Whitworth, England

    @Plusnet I believe the minimum speed was added AFTER installation and after I contacted you. You have dropped my speed from the original 5Mb to around 1Mb as a response to each complaint I make. Perhaps the inferstructure should be investigated. Please forward me complaints email address.

  • 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?!

  • nebzy17 nebzy (@nebzy17) reported from Manchester, England

    @Plusnet Stop arsing around with this crap and answer my message to @plusnethelp - Why you got staff on football polls???? 💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩

  • 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

  • alexjb24 Alex 🐝 (@alexjb24) reported from Salford, England

    @Plusnet hello, my internet has kept cutting out all day again. My postcode is M5 4SG. This is happening far too frequently. Can you please fix it? When this happened last time you were able to fix it remotely instead of sending an engineer so hope that’s possible. Thanks

  • DavidWildJnr David (@DavidWildJnr) reported from Whitworth, England

    @Plusnet The BT service obligations (USO) states that my postcode is capable of 10Mb speeds and therefore is not eligible for upgrade. However you can only supply sub 5Mbs service. Can you explain the difference in the two scenarios.

  • Cavakaggy cavakaggy (@Cavakaggy) reported from Walkden, England

    @Plusnet mobile signal has been useless since Christmas, other users are also reporting this advise

  • nickhornbee Nicholas Hornby (@nickhornbee) reported from Manchester, England

    @Plusnet hi my internet has been down since midday. Is there an outage?

  • Cuttsrich rich cutts (@Cuttsrich) reported from Tyldesley, England

    @virginmedia Mmm. 2 days loss of service in a week. Not good. Maybe I'll speak to that nice chappie in Sheffield at PlusNet or maybe get BT Sports for free with BT Think you can do better tbh Voda do a cheap deal too...

  • MiguelGilbert24 Miguel Gilbert (@MiguelGilbert24) reported from Manchester, England

    @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

  • alexjb24 Alex 🐝 (@alexjb24) reported from Salford, England

    @Plusnet @plusnethelp hi, my broadband service today and yesterday has been shocking. It has cut out 8 times in the past 3 hours alone which is unacceptable as I need it to work from home (so I’ve had to use loads of my mobile data allowance). Can you please tell me when I 1/2

  • katiemaeox katie (@katiemaeox) reported from Westhoughton, England

    @Plusnet internet has been off since yesterday please help?

  • Natwatson78 Natalie Watson (@Natwatson78) reported from Whittle-le-Woods, England

    @Plusnet just wondering if services are down please PR6 7FH ?

  • LucyLoopy86 Lucy Willis (@LucyLoopy86) reported from Standish, England

    @Plusnet what is going with the service tonight … I switched to you being told your better … but nope crap internet still 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

  • 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

  • groundhopper80 groundhopper80 (@groundhopper80) reported from Bury, England

    @Plusnet hello help signal is on and off for the last hour.

  • Siftah John Baxendale (@Siftah) reported from Manchester, England

    @adechapmanlaw Problem is their phone line is crap, so PlusNet (who they were previously with) also would never get the phone line sorted and they were left with the same crappy speeds. Have signed them up with Sky fibre for less than they were paying for ADSL!

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

    @Plusnet is your service down currently in WA14? My internet has randomly gone off then showing as on but I can’t connect any device to it?

  • sweetiesal 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.

  • andrew_buttery Andrew Buttery (@andrew_buttery) reported

    @Plusnet disappointed I had to call you as I hadn’t had any confirmation of router dispatch and we’re going live on Monday. Told an order hadn’t gone through and it’s a common issue. For a company that says it takes pride in customer support…. Maybe fix the issue?

  • DJMidarezaki Midarezaki, Esq.🇬🇧🇨🇦🇭🇰🇹🇼 #GETTR (@DJMidarezaki) reported

    @Plusnet It's all fine now, I happened to be awake in the silly hours of the morning and found my link was down and via 4G couldn't ping my static IP, but it came back up without me having to do anything. And, removed the camelcase version of your name from my phone's autocorrupt!

  • lasydaisymoo Mama Belikin (@lasydaisymoo) reported

    @Plusnet Thanks. More than 5 days later I still have no internet or phone line, which is very frustrating and inconvenient. Also frustrating is that I have to phone your customer service every day for an update. Is there no system in place for you to keep me updated?

  • Geotweetsstuff George Whitehouse (@Geotweetsstuff) reported

    Not happy with the customer service we've recieved @Plusnet just money grabbing got told different yesterday tried to par us of with 2 year deal just want out....

  • Chris_Widgery Chris Widgery (@Chris_Widgery) reported

    @Plusnet morning. My broadband is down. I live in BR3 - your status page says there aren’t any problems. Can you help, please?

  • Boyer316New EVERTON BOARD RESIGN - TORIES & KENWRIGHT OUT (@Boyer316New) reported

    Do you support IPV6 on your FTTC packages @Plusnet....?

  • iNemesis__ Dan // Nemesis (@iNemesis__) reported

    Only a couple more weeks left of being a @Plusnet customer, While I've not had any issues with them what so ever, Except me struggling to pay the bill on time on a few occasions (like now), It's definitely a company I would recommend, I may return to them one day. :)

  • RobbieMay30 Robbie (@RobbieMay30) reported

    Day 41 and still no service from #plusnet or #openreach . 10 missed deadlines to restore service and no explanation as to why this is taking so long. Plusnet say there’s nothing they can do and Openreach tell us to speak to plusnet. Disgraceful customer service.
