  • alexjb24 Alex 🐝 (@alexjb24) reported

    @Plusnet hi, just want to say how disappointed I am with Plusnet so far. Waited 10 days for installation, then the engineer didn't do the job properly, so another one had to come 3 days later (today). Now the service has been so erratic it's meant I can't work properly. Can I

  • mrpauldenton Paul Denton (@mrpauldenton) reported

    @Plusnet I have just switched over to plusnet from EE and now seem to be having issues with my WiFi 6 laptop getting speeds under 1mb. My other laptop and devices work fine. So my question is could I swap this router for a WiFi 6 compatible one ? It’s a hub one I received thanks

  • Signedbysophiee Soph ✨🇯🇲 (@Signedbysophiee) reported

    I work from home. I need internet to be able to pay my bills. Since I joined @Plusnet on 11/08 I’ve not had a full 24 hours of service. 5 engineers, new wires, holes in my walls + 2 boxes later and still nothing. I’m at my wits end, this is ridiculous.

  • RichClark808 Richard Clark (@RichClark808) reported

    @Plusnet Shame on you. Terrible customer service yet again. 1 month and counting to move my broadband service. Can only advise people to avoid at all cost.

  • PuffyBooks PuffyBooks 🖤 (@PuffyBooks) reported

    @Plusnet had no signal with my mobile phone all day. Restarting the phone makes no difference. (my WiFi is a different provider, which is why I can still get online) any suggestions?

    @Plusnet Anoush. I am using a #Dreytek router, but the problem is intermittent, and also prevents me from using my iPhone's hotspot. Our #MacMini appears unaffected, so its definitely a @Windows issue. Very frustrating. @MSFTEnable

    @kenny307mcfc @Footynut1Wendy It's certainly faster and with lower latency Kenny, I've just moved to them after 7 years with Plusnet who wouldn't play the haggling game this year. But, as Wendy knows, it's not available to everyone. The risk with using VM is that their customer service is non existent.

  • gwilbo25 Gwilym Davies (@gwilbo25) reported

    @Plusnet You are supposed to be good with customer service, but since moving house you’ve caused me nothing but problems. Now my email address doesn’t work. I’ve had it for over a decade and I’m self employed. Told me it was getting fixed but no. Need this sorting now.

  • AllotmentMatt Matt_M 🍓🥕🌻 🚲 (@AllotmentMatt) reported

    @Plusnet My b/b is running at the amazing speed of 0.55mbps. How am I meant to work from home with such a poor service? I've forgotten how many times I've brought this up but still regularly get less than 2 mbps.
