    @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.

    @virginmedia Cancelled yesterday. Was happy at £25 a month. Looks like we're off to Vodafone or Plusnet for £22. Shame really, been a decent service.

    @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

    Thank you to the wonderful Emma from @Plusnet customer services team last night who is helping solve my internet issues and also made an hour on the phone to a call centre feel like 2 mins!! Let’s hope the engineer can fix it today #everythingscrossed #plusnet

  • 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.

    @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

  • ShawnLorenzoo
    Shawn-Lorenzo (@ShawnLorenzoo) reported from Manchester, England

    @trufflenat90H @plusnethelp @Plusnet @EE @KhaalidGrantbel Ok thank you I will be calling plusnet to cancel the Internet is slow I can’t even watch @AFTVMedia without it cancelling

  • 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!

  • MShacks
    Michael Shackleton (@MShacks) reported from Accrington, England

    Warning ***Switchboards at BT, Virgin. Talk Talk, Sky and Plusnet are blocked with over 14 million people trying to reconnect to a broadband service they had cancelled from today.

  • 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?!

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

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

  • Paul_crannee
    Paul (@Paul_crannee) reported from Hindley, England

    @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.

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

  • 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

  • trevos01
    Trevor Williams (@trevos01) reported from Sale, England

    @plusnethelp I’ve been in contact with your help desk about my Emails being blocked by Plusnet from my Domain (123reg). Apparently you are aware of this issue & have a team working on this problem. Could you pls let me know when the problem is resolved.

  • Delicaboy
    Richard Marsden (@Delicaboy) reported from Partington, England

    @360Chambers Unknown BT down, Plusnet down, 3 down for internet, thank goodness Kevin Bacon isn’t launching planes or shaving men across the network

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • 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...

    @Plusnet @WeAreOpenreach @MoneySavingExp Day 10 without broadband and still no information as to when service will resume, or what's being done (if anything) to fix it!!

  • PeteJ134
    Pete Jackson #FBPE🐟🌻🇺🇦💙🐝🇪🇺🐾🍻👋 (@PeteJ134) reported

    @Plusnet Disgusting practice fining my 91yo mother for cancelling her phone service early due to moving home for health reasons. No sympathy shown by your staff either. Cold heartless company.

  • not_now_dave
    Not Now Dave (@not_now_dave) reported

    My broadband service is up soon and was possibly looking at leaving my current provider. Now @bt_uk, @EE and @Plusnet have now added a setup fees they can do one

  • bookgirl999
    bookgirl999 (@bookgirl999) reported

    @Plusnet Are there any issues in ST7 with service? My router light is orange & when I try & connect on my phone I get a msg that hub 2 manager now requires a connection

  • GordonDComstock
    Gordon D Comstock (@GordonDComstock) reported

    @Plusnet I had a problem with internet connectivity today. You said an advisor would call in 10 minutes. I have had no call.

  • paulx1v
    Paul Kennedy (@paulx1v) reported

    @Plusnet just been informed by Openreach that it will be another six weeks before they can connect us to the full fibre network. Not particularly happy with that, anything you can do to help?

  • ClareQ12
    Clareq12.bsky.social- REAL socialists wear masks😷 (@ClareQ12) reported

    @Plusnet @EE Also, the internet speeds are pretty pathetic. About 120mbps rather than the 500 they promised. So @Plusnet I have 2 questions for you: 1) how good is your "award winning" customer service? 2) what's your contract cooling off period, and do you know other companies exist?

  • UncommonNeutral
    Tó's Right Foot (@UncommonNeutral) reported

    @longlaneroyal @virginmedia I don't understand why anyone uses Virgin Media. I've literally never met a happy customer of theirs. Plusnet forever and always.

  • WinthropStreet
    Winthrop Street (@WinthropStreet) reported

    I know this won't be news to anyone... but @Plusnet are ******* ****. Stay a million miles away, whatever you do. The most useless customer "service" it's possible to imagine.

  • rollinson_kevan
    Kevan Rollinson (@rollinson_kevan) reported

    @Plusnet Have you tried ringing your customer service team and being put on hold for over 30 minutes before eventually giving in
