    Nice to know that I’m still waiting for my WiFi from @Plusnet. Was supposed to be sorted on the 19th, then 23rd now moves to 25th. Unreliable, unsatisfactory service

  • cfurneaux Chris Furneaux (@cfurneaux) reported from London, England

    @Plusnet internet still down! Unfortunately as an existing customer paying you already I’m not looking to sign up again so there is no one to tell that your service is down. Hopefully you know

  • kate_marr Kate Marr (@kate_marr) reported from Gravesend, England

  • uk12345 ken (@uk12345) reported from Romford, England

    @nowtvhelp I've been told by BT that I can't uninstall NOW TV on a YouView box also it's not just me customers with BT Plusnet also got the same problem as me breaking up pictures freezing pictures I've been a lot of forums and they still complaints going on about the NOW TV app on YouView

  • Skypirate_ 🎩 Luke Ray ルーク レイ (@Skypirate_) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    So nobody been living in this flat since last year but apparently there was a cease order on my phone line switchover? What ********? I'm guessing someone in the plusnet team doesn't 100% know what they are talking about.

  • bhavanr Bhavan Ramanathan (@bhavanr) reported from Billericay, England

    @plusnethelp hi..pls could you let me know how I can cancel BT Sport via the Plusnet site?

  • lewis_hardwick Lewis Hardwick (@lewis_hardwick) reported from Crayford, England

    So I joined @Plusnet @plusnethelp a couple of months ago. Now every evening this week at about 9pm, my internet becomes unstable. But try calling them "sorry we close at 8pm". Time to cancel my Direct Debit? That might get their attention! What a joke.

  • Blitzwalker Steve Hunnisett (@Blitzwalker) reported from London, England

    @greenwichguide @maryorelse Mine does that too (Plusnet). I appreciate more people are working from home but the past couple of weeks, it’s been really slow and unreliable.

  • gouldydl Dawn Gould (@gouldydl) reported from Dartford, England

    It’s doesn’t matter if I’m only paying £8 a month, u are supposed to be giving me a service @Plusnet #nosignal#badcustomerservice

  • rider45 Brian O'Keefe (@rider45) reported from Great Baddow, England

    @K_Katastrophe @DebbieFletcher @bt_uk Plusnet is separate from BT but owned by them, I think you’ll find with the big companies that customer service is poor, especially now with many call centres cut back, I’ve been with BT broadband since 2001 not let me down thus far.

  • utkhan79 Usman (@utkhan79) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @Plusnet How is it seamless when my perfectly working line doesn’t have any signal now. Plus net was supposed to take over yesterday and now my line is dead with no dial tone let alone any internet.

  • deniseessex denise salman (@deniseessex) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @plusnethelp having problem with broadband setup. new customer as of 26 March. should have been up & running today, seamlessly. Plusnet hub has blue light but no broadband. Not impressed. Previous provider, Daisy working 100% on Wednesday. Please DM ASAP, order no: 0-3905409.

  • JSDBroughton jnthn (permanently broken) (@JSDBroughton) reported from London, England

    @plusnethelp no online chat and not even a call queue available. We’ve had no internet for most of today (intermittently up). Line fault troubleshooting says no problem with the phone line (plusnet line rental) What’s the best course of action? SE6

  • cfurneaux Chris Furneaux (@cfurneaux) reported from London, England

    Hi @Plusnet my internet is down. Your website says phone lines open until 10pm but phone line closed and says only open until 8pm. How do I get support now?

  • Wattsit01 Vikki (@Wattsit01) reported from Swanley, England

    @plusnethelp I've just noticed I cannot connect to my WiFi on my android phone in the front room of my house today. Wasn't an issue yesterday. Only upgraded to Plusnet this year to help with home schooling and haven't received the promised speeds either. Any suggestions?

  • charfranklin_ Char x (@charfranklin_) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    And once again for the 10000th time since joining @Plusnet the WIFI is down again 😡 absolute joke!! Worst decision we ever made was switching to you in October ! @plusnethelp

  • LoneFox98 Owen Vincent (@LoneFox98) reported

    And already spent money bad enough spent 29. A month for it to keep crashing. And even if pay to get it repaired even though more likely to do with outdoor and cable. It might not even increase the speed can't wait to leave @Plusnet 🙄 and don't get any money to myself

  • chalkeblue (((L Buckland))) (@chalkeblue) reported

    @Plusnet why is today’s fibre-broadband connection so poor that I’m using my mobile as a ‘hotspot’ to send this? This is the third time in 10 days, when no emails, no connection, is available Please update, and sort out @BritishTelecom

  • aledrob Aled Roberts (@aledrob) reported

    @Plusnet Still waiting on mailbox to be recovered. Poor response from customer service. Wouldn’t recommend anymore

  • TheLiteraryShed The Literary Shed (@TheLiteraryShed) reported

    @Plusnet Landline/broadband having problems. Phone line problematic (heavy crackling/'noise' on calls in and out) for several weeks. It went this morn, rebooted, came back. Now phone ringing one/1/2 rings, then cuts out. Repeatedly. If pick up, Broadband crashes. DM me pls.

  • barclayp9 Paul Barclay (@barclayp9) reported

    @Plusnet yes I cancelled my direct debit because my internet has not been working for five days. The muppets on your tech supports told me it was my rehome causing the problem. After disconnecting the phone they then said it was a faulty router and sent me a new one the next day

  • jimmerc25 James Cummings (@jimmerc25) reported

    @Plusnet I would check Google if your internet supply wasnt so terrible, less twitter nonsense and more working on the business end please.

  • PaulGrimshaw15 Paul Grimshaw (@PaulGrimshaw15) reported

    @Plusnet Coincidentally 127 years is roughly the time my Plusnet service takes to open a page on the internet.

  • davidjbm2 David Murray (@davidjbm2) reported

    @Plusnet I am seriously disappointed with you! You should want my custom and not fob me off with 2nd class customer service abs inaccurate statements. A mistake was made and now we have to spend a further 14 days without internet. You really make BT look amazing!

  • BixWeetabecke Jazz Baby (@BixWeetabecke) reported

    @LC_186 @bt_uk When did yours go off, Laura? I'm also in Glasgow, and mine stopped between 11pm and Midnight. BT reports everything OK, and various web down detectors say that customers of BT and Plusnet are experiencing problems, but the network isn't. Perhaps they only listen to businesses?

  • davidjbm2 David Murray (@davidjbm2) reported

    @Plusnet Thank you but we have exhausted it all. Awful experience on Friday and (eventually) spoke to a manager today and without batting an eyelid said I was off to BT, who in fairness have been superb so far! House moving broadband with Plusnet is stressful!
