    @Plusnet 2 new sim cards ordered. Only one received today and the changeover is due to happen tomorrow therefore could be a full day without any service. Why only 1 received when ordered both the same time??

    @UniHomes please help us with our internet instead of not offering a solution and referring it to your internet team again 🙃 I’ve spoken to @Plusnet and the issue is you giving us the wrong details ! And the wrong information! Sort it out! Please!!!

    @Plusnet good honest broadband. Maybe not. Over charging the mother-in-law and apparently can’t resolve it due to their systems. Sounds like bull to me. Stop giving Yorkshire a bad name #fraudsters

    @Plusnet I've only just moved over to Plusnet from years with Vodafone. Let's say it's not a great start to being with you. I required help on Thursday and not today.

    @Plusnet The Internet is down today in Sheffield! Children can’t do school online and parents can’t do work! Can you please address the issue ASAP? It’s been down for over 2 hours now! Thanks.

    @AndyWoodturner Oddly enough, we were with Plusnet for years (they were proper reyt local like). No problems until that bunch of muppets bought them and slowly started breaking everything…

    @nw_nicholas @Plusnet I was with them for 9 years no problems ever, I only left because I didn't need broadband anymore as I've unlimited data on my phone.

    @plusnet called to cancel my contract, wish I’d got his name but he answered like he worked in a takeaway, not at all bothered or tried to make me stay. #joke #plusnet

    @plusnethelp Hi, the initial contact was with the support team and the support team told us they would be in touch with a date for an engineer which didn’t happen. As it happens we’ve now left Plusnet and joined Sky broadband

    @Plusnet please can you sort yourself out, cant get hold of you on phone, you dont have an email for customer service, #awful

    John Finch (@JohnFin75257340) reported from Horbury, England

    @Plusnet Why is my Landline bill higher this month? There are 3 calls allegedly made to 01159338000. We never made these calls yet we have been charged 40 pence for each call. I think that this is a scam. Please can you check.

    My internet switchover day from @TalkTalk to @Plusnet is today. My internet service was cut off early hours & I'm being told it can take up to midnight. Most switching info says a few hours, but this'll be possibly 24 hours? Disapointing. Glad I've switched on a non-working day.

    @bt_uk This is some of the best customer service I have seen! “Although Plusnet use the same Openreach lines and they can provide an SLT of 80/20...At the moment there is not availability in the BT slots in order to move your SLT to 80/20...” time to give up and switch!

Plusnet Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • visitandtravel
    Richard (@visitandtravel) reported

    I just signed up for Starlink - finally gave in, the EE 4G has been broken for 3/4 days - now basically running on candle power - back onto the fallback BT copper broadband @ Plusnet - 3MB connection and costing me £28 a month on a 1 year contract - a lot more for the standard line rental and broadband if I do not take the 1 year contract. So now as I am in Caithness 3 miles away from a telephone exchange I need to pay EE for semi-decent 4G broadband when it works, and BT through Plusnet to have a working telephone for emergencies if 4G fails - as it does. And yet I still have the emails from the Scottish Government from over 8 years ago saying everyone would be on fast fibre connection by 2020 or around that time. I checked with Openreach and they have no intention of laying fibre to the property even though they can get access to a Government grant of over £4,400 to do so. A company, Highland Broadband is busy taking these rural fibre broadband grants and doing their best to get the north of Scotland rural and small towns connected - I am signed up for a 1GB fibre connection - supposed to be getting installed this summer - I just cant wait that long so - yet another expense for a poor pensioner (me) having to pay out for yet another broadband connection with Starlink. As I am in contract to Plusnet (BT), EE I can see if Highland Broadband do deliver the fibre by July - I will have 4 contracted broadband accounts until the contracts run out. If Only the Scottish Government had kept to their promises I would only need to have one connection.

    @Plusnet I've been going through the text message service and apparently there is a fault; I thought it might have just been a temporary hiccup but maybe there's something more serious going on. Seems to be stable for now at least, but there's been times where it's up and down constantly

  • AlisonMLees
    Alison Lees (@AlisonMLees) reported

    @Plusnet Why should I phone? The last time I phoned, I got someone who didn't know anything and wouldn't help. It's quite simple. If you email me, I should be able to email you back.

    @PlusnetCS_ @Plusnet @Plusnetcs_ I spent over a week chasing this with considerable stress & excuses & gaslighting from u. You r doing everything in your power to wheedle out of coughing up reward. Disgusted & I will never use your company again! How many others do u do this to who give up?

    @Plusnet Your broadband is down in the Edinburgh area. I hope you are working on this. Expect a phone call soon

  • LoZeno
    Verified Jedi (@LoZeno) reported

    I swear, having to deal with @WeAreOpenreach and @Plusnet bouncing me back and forth just to have my fibre order, WHICH I PLACED IN FEBRUARY, fulfilled before MAY, is a layer of customer service hell I did not need. Openreach is organised with the sole purpose of making it..

    @Plusnet My service is activated, it was sorted Tuesday this week.

    @Owramgirl @bt_uk I'm considering Vodaphone if price is the main concern, Plusnet is also on that list. Zen if I decide to pay more for a company that seems more customer focused. All are cheaper than the best offer from BT.

  • bagpussforeva

    @Plusnet thank you for sending me a text at 9am confirming my service has returned yet here I am at 2pm still waiting

    @CommsOmbudsman Elderly vulnerable customer (80s, health issues) left without reliable phone for weeks due to failed BB migration. Plusnet initiated transfer to EE, OR install failed, EE cancelled order despite OR advice to proceed when ready. Repeated faults even after "repair".
