    A few annoyances today, overcharged by a few pounds by Plusnet (a charge they said they'd apply in July) and the incompetent morons at Northern Powergrid sending me emails about the future of the network that they fail to maintain, not sure how the latter got my email address

  • paulm19822012 Paul McGee 2E0EIJ (@paulm19822012) reported from Richmond, England

    with the YouView box now refusing to do anything, again, I have reinstated the bypass and tuned the TV directly seeing as the distribution amp in the building is operating normally again, a call to Plusnet is in order to see if they can get me a new box or if not cancel the tv

  • nigelatcroft Dr. Nigel Coleman #FBPE (@nigelatcroft) reported from Reeth, England

    @SusanRead15 Hi there Susan, I'm terribly sorry about the hold times that you experienced we've been a tad chocka recently, how is it that I can help? -Em -Plusnet Sheffield

  • mdfdvntrs Modified Ventures (@mdfdvntrs) reported

    @jane_touil @Plusnet Avoid @plusnet if you still can; they are scammers. They promise to provide service on obsolete lines that other providers won't touch, fail to provide service, string you along beyond the 14-day legal grace period with promises to fix and then charge you a £200 cancellation fee.

  • sean_mvm MacCárthaigh #FBPE #MVM 🇪🇺🇮🇪🇬🇧🏳️‍🌈🏴🌹 (@sean_mvm) reported from Urmston, England

    @SkyHelpTeam It's done. I'm now a customer of @Plusnet

  • mdfdvntrs Modified Ventures (@mdfdvntrs) reported

    @tccounselling @Plusnet @plusnet will keep taking money out of your account as long as they can find an excuse. If you try to cancel, their "retention department" will give you the runaround and make your life miserable. Remove your direct debit at your bank before you do anything else.

  • kelly_tengi Kelly (@kelly_tengi) reported from Sheffield, England

    @Plusnet It was caused by the FTTP trial. The IP changed when the new service went active.

  • davedpg David Edwards (@davedpg) reported

    @Plusnet Your service is an absolute joke at the moment

  • RP_VictorHarvey Ruth Illing (@RP_VictorHarvey) reported from Rugby, England

    @Plusnet It’s also been so odd that the faults team has emailed when they promised to call. The problem is no internet - how does an email keep them informed?

  • lynseybestitch1 lynseybestitching (@lynseybestitch1) reported

    @Plusnet I have a contract with you and the past few weeks the signal has been awful. We can't even all get on the Internet for someone to web browse and another to stream right now. What is going on? ML3 area

  • ChloeRaccoon Chloe Raccoon (@ChloeRaccoon) reported

    So it looks like @plusnet have responded to my complaints that the service status pages are not reporting any faults, and the detailed history listing no faults either by.. revoking the SSL Cert so no one can see it. Nice.

  • SusanRead15 Susan Read (@SusanRead15) reported

    @Plusnet Managed to get someone after 1h15, then transferred and waited for a further 20 minutes. Issue now sorted - I’ve left PlusNet broadband!
