  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

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

    @Plusnet I tried all you ask me to try... you are the worse network ever. You expensive you slow and you basic. On this lockdown you were terrible... but still can merge with @VodafoneUK that charge 7 pounds for a call they didn’t pick up ...

  • harriLa77 Lee Harrison (@harriLa77) reported from Rawtenstall, England

    Hey @Plusnet all ok with your Mobile network.. Calls are not getting connected.

  • joniredchops Joniredchops (@joniredchops) reported from Wigan, England

    @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.

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

    @Plusnet @IM_org Garbage. Your customer support is 💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩

  • emmabirdy Em (@emmabirdy) reported from Blackburn, England

    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

  • 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

  • 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.

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

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

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

  • 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...

  • stachini82 Gareth Stachini (@stachini82) reported from Manchester, England

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

  • micahscotttt mary queen of thots 🥦Ⓥ (@micahscotttt) reported from Manchester, England

    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.

  • 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.

  • 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

    @MoneySavingExp Been with Plusnet for years with no problems. The past year with a house move they have been an absolute shambles.

  • plusnethelp Plusnet Help (@plusnethelp) reported

    @rayjburnside Hi Ray, my apologies for the inconvenience this has caused. Plusnet Protect is a free value added service, however there are wide choice of alternative anti-virus programs which you can use. -Tony

  • countyIine ? (@countyIine) reported

    @thaharamii plusnet no issues at all

  • MBiolCalumSmith Calum Smith (@MBiolCalumSmith) reported

    Terrible service from @Plusnet they cancel our account and send debt collectors after money we don’t owe. Constant poor advice and communication #plusnet

  • verflucht Mr A$AP Verflucht Esq. (@verflucht) reported

    have essentially got a monopoly on internet in UK, unless you're with Virgin, you are getting your internet from BT. Like if someone is like "I hate BT, now I get my internet from TalkTalk/PlusNet/EE/whatever, and the service is so much better", I always have to bite my tongue

  • abbie_chilton Abbie (@abbie_chilton) reported

    If I can give one piece of WFH advice, NEVER choose @Plusnet as your internet provider

  • 1884Rams Mac (@1884Rams) reported

    @Plusnet is this account manned? I note the Plusnet Help account was last active in 2020?

  • blazingskies Skyblaze the Kittyblob (@blazingskies) reported

    @RealCainMosni @virginmedia That's the problem, unless you use Virgin, or 4G-based internet, EVERY ISP is reliant on Openreach, because they control the infrastructure. Tony works for PlusNet, and getting Openreach engineers to do anything is a major bottleneck.

  • WkdwillyUk BawSki (@WkdwillyUk) reported

    @Plusnet Pisspoor service. Connection drops on all devices, pcs, phones, PlayStation. Pathetic.

  • XxChantoixX 💜 𝒞𝒽𝒶𝓃 💜 (@XxChantoixX) reported

    @plusnethelp @Plusnet No those instructions did not help in any way I have followed those steps too many times now and it’s still the same so you better find another fix or send someone.
