    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)

  • SaxonPark Andy Parkes (@SaxonPark) reported

    @Plusnet 3 days ago I did this. I sent a DM with my user and post code etc. A week has gone by. No idea when we will get connected. Health equipment unable to send info to hospital to manage oxygen levels. Basic courtesy and customer respect would be appreciated.

    @GeorgeMonbiot @VodafoneUK This is worth fighting for. And not just against Vodafone. I had issues dealing with Plusnet. They disconnected our internet claiming we missed a payment, however I had proof I paid it. I went through and looked at the timing, and they actually disconnected us…

  • astolante Louise🐦🐝🌵🧀🐌 (@astolante) reported

    @Plusnet hi, Internet has been dropping out on all devices the last two days (mostly from around 8pm, I'm at work during the day, so don't know if it's an all day problem). LS11 area

  • NeedMoreTree Chris Walker (@NeedMoreTree) reported

    @Plusnet got told TODAY that our line is being cut off TOMORROW because we move FRIDAY. we cant use mobile data because we live in a valley. We work from home. I want to cancel this shocking service!! How?

  • M6EQR Dan (@M6EQR) reported

    @naked_techie @Plusnet I've had endless problems with them. Had 12 engineers in 14 months trying to find the problem to be told 'there isn't a problem' yet my daily metrics went from 80mbps down to 36mbps over that time period. Ended up leaving mid-contract out of protest. F*ck em.

  • Pro_Snapper David Millington (@Pro_Snapper) reported

    @Plusnet hello. I was a customer for 14 years and only left when you offered me Full Fibre with BT! I now know that you are offering people that call you Full Fibre. Do you now also have broadband and telephone packages?

  • MartynNHughes 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Martyn Hughes (@MartynNHughes) reported

    @Olivergill4B @GeorgeMonbiot Plusnet. I'll have to look them up. I need to move providers now. 20 years with @VodafoneUK never a late bill and since February they have behaved appallingly with me over a mistake. thanks for this.

  • NicolaCarle2 Nic (@NicolaCarle2) reported

    @Plusnet what I am paying for? This is bad service actually and can not join my broadband for the last 30 mins and used up all my mobile data

  • naked_techie Naked Techie 💻 (@naked_techie) reported

    I reported my internet download speed seemed slow at about 30 Mbps. Latest speed check shows about 48Mbps. Thank you @Plusnet for sorting it out. That'll do.
