    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

    @Plusnet I have had the most appalling start to the service. No broadband order was not put through, neither was the router - I have just been told after one month of thinking everything was smooth I will no internet for 7-10 working days? This is my 4th call!

  • Kristyannexx Kristyanne (@Kristyannexx) reported

    @Plusnet Hello, I am currently switching from Plusnet, to @ShellEnergyHome broadband, however you picked my dates. Now I've got an email from Plusnet saying I am about to be charged £32 on 3/3 for a service when my switch is on 1/3. Pls confirm why I am being charged???

  • h_dennett Helen Dennett (@h_dennett) reported

    @AMJ1981 @Plusnet I’m tempted. I had to call them twice, so was on hold for over an hour in total, only to be told that their systems are having problems so I need to call back tomorrow! The only problem is that it’s one of the few networks that works in my village.

  • BulleymentJohn John Bulleyment (@BulleymentJohn) reported

    Trying to contact Plusnet is like Mission Impossible. They answer and then you hang on for 20 minutes and more-and no response. Tried 4 times today and wasted my day. Plusnet get your act together.

  • AMJ1981 Andy Johnson (@AMJ1981) reported

    @h_dennett @Plusnet I’d cancel anyway, they’ve cut my phone off twice this week due to supposed payment issues even know payments have been made and it’s actually an issue with their system

  • stephenmedlock Stephen Medlock🗽🇬🇧🇫🇷 (@stephenmedlock) reported

    @Plusnet How would that be, I have a long email saying prices are rising but cannot see anything on we have broken the contract you can leave.

  • RezTamaki R&A (@RezTamaki) reported

  • Tangoman68plus1 Tangoman69 (@Tangoman68plus1) reported

    @Plusnet Despite assurances line would be activated by midnight, it hasn't happened. Can someome please get back to me first thing in the morning to sort this out. As a new customer, this is not a good start. Thanks.

  • GGsnapper GG (@GGsnapper) reported

    Switched my Brdbnd 7 days ago, told it would take 10 days, today got text saying it had been delayed. Number given, called 3 times each 10min wait, no answer. No live chat, no way to contact them. #Plusnet @Plusnet . My advice .. stay well clear. Will cancel asap, given a chance
