  • SarahDixonHE Sarah Dixon (@SarahDixonHE) reported from Liverpool, England

    Best internet provider? Currently with @Plusnet and they are absolutely terrible. Can’t connect phones to the WiFi and the signal goes about 1m in the house and what you can get is slow as anything 🙄

  • StoneTyres Stone Tyres (@StoneTyres) reported from St Helens, England

    PHONE LINE DOWN Please bear with us. Our @Plusnet phone line has gone down. Divert will take at least an hour to be activated. Feel free to message us on here. Apologies, we are looking for a more reliable supplier as we speak.

  • WIG1932 WIG1932 (@WIG1932) reported from Up Holland, England

    @Plusnet any issues in WN8? Download has dropped to just above 1 over the past few days. Nothing seems to fix the issue. It’s painfully slow and well below what I’m paying for. Any help appreciated!

  • Shaunmc40 Shaun Mc (@Shaunmc40) reported from Liverpool, England

    8 yrs with @sky no problems one month with @Plusnet billing issues. If you are thinking of switching to them give it a miss.

    @Plusnet Honestly Emma, It's a catalogue of errors left right and centre and then made worse with awful customer service. It's been escalated.

  • aitch5012 MickHoll (@aitch5012) reported from Liverpool, England

  • jamesksowerby Sups Like a Sumerian. (@jamesksowerby) reported from Bolton, England

    It has been a rubbish online week with the internet down for hours, with @Plusnet still charging, and my relying on my mobile signal more than usual

  • joniredchops Joniredchops (@joniredchops) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia Cancelled yesterday. Was happy at £25 a month. Looks like we're off to Vodafone or Plusnet for £22. Shame really, been a decent service.

  • WIG1932 WIG1932 (@WIG1932) reported from Up Holland, England

    Last day of the season and @plusnet have well and truly let me down! Daughter unable to revise for GCSEs, wife unable to work, and I can’t watch the footie!!! 😩

  • Cuttsrich rich cutts (@Cuttsrich) reported from Tyldesley, England

    @virginmedia Mmm. 2 days loss of service in a week. Not good. Maybe I'll speak to that nice chappie in Sheffield at PlusNet or maybe get BT Sports for free with BT Think you can do better tbh Voda do a cheap deal too...

  • LucyLoopy86 Lucy Willis (@LucyLoopy86) reported from Standish, England

    @Plusnet what is going with the service tonight … I switched to you being told your better … but nope crap internet still 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

  • ChrisBr41449425 Chris. Bracken (@ChrisBr41449425) reported from Warrington, England

    @plusnet @plusnethelp You've left my elderly, shielding parents without a phone line for 48hrs now, and nothing is being done. I sat for 45mins on hold this morning to call you, and couldn't get through. At this stressful time, this isn't good enough! Any chance of a solution?

  • CroftJackie Jackie (@CroftJackie) reported from Up Holland, England

    @plusnethelp Someone called me back and then passed me onto a helpful lady. This has helped resume the internet but not the bad feeling we now have to Plusnet. We had the worst day ever being spoken to be such a rude, arrogant and pompous man who spoke spoke so rudely to myself and daughter

  • kevinefcduffy Kevin Duffy (@kevinefcduffy) reported from Up Holland, England

    @Plusnet absolute disgrace! Messing my friend around, broadband speed 0.7mb and not 30-50mb as agreed, then want to charge £250 in the cooling off period???? Some of the worst customer service I have ever seen!

  • aitch5012 MickHoll (@aitch5012) reported from Liverpool, England

    @GFThompson7 @Plusnet The customer service is scandalous mate

  • mrcflknr Marc Faulkner (@mrcflknr) reported from St Helens, England

    @Plusnet Very disappointed by the attitude of one of your agents when calling today with my Mum to change her payment details. She’s partially sighted and needs my assistance with reading details, yet this wasn’t acceptable and the woman was incredibly rude. 😢

  • TheGoodestBuck TheGoodBuck (@TheGoodestBuck) reported

    Got up to a desperate note on the kitchen table, Mrs is off work today and the internet is down. Reset the router and wifi extender, nada. Think it must be Plusnet. Sort it out, people!

  • DavyTolmie David Tolmie (@DavyTolmie) reported from Falkirk, Scotland

    @Plusnet my phone is having trouble making calls, can I get a new sim card please

  • SianElin_PT Sian Elin (@SianElin_PT) reported

    @MartinSLewis Sky are the worst to haggle with! I spent an hour and a half haggling with Sky, and the best they could do was £15 on top of what we were originally paying! In January Sky wanted £150 a month!! No chance! Now with Plusnet, and paying £32 a month!! Much better speed too!!

  • PScotfree Peter Shankley (@PScotfree) reported

    @Plusnet Your "CPI guide" online gives example with CPI for Jan 2023 at 2.0%. Which idiot wrote that example. CPI in January is likely to be around 12%+. Get a grip PlusNet. Come March you will be unable to cope with influx of complaints re possible increase of 16% or thereby.

  • _timbo1001 Timbo1001 (@_timbo1001) reported

    @MartinSLewis @itvMLshow (Mobile phones too!) Find the cheapest rate on the market and negotiate. Plusnet broadband £34 down to £19 Inc line rental. Keep your contract short too. I just saved 35ish/month on my car loan this week. Don't forget they need your business!

  • linzosmalingos lindsey robson (@linzosmalingos) reported

    @Plusnet Can you please provide me with an email address to send an urgent complaint? Your webpage only allows 400 words and my complaint is alot longer than that 😫

  • Plusnet Plusnet (@Plusnet) reported

    @PScotfree Every customer will get an individual email to let them know how much CPI is and what it's going to increase by so there's no confusion around this. - Curtis, Plusnet Sheffield

  • andrew_buttery Andrew Buttery (@andrew_buttery) reported

    @Plusnet disappointed I had to call you as I hadn’t had any confirmation of router dispatch and we’re going live on Monday. Told an order hadn’t gone through and it’s a common issue. For a company that says it takes pride in customer support…. Maybe fix the issue?

  • I_am_cjc Carpark J Carl (@I_am_cjc) reported

    Hello @Plusnet I need to cancel a contract with you and your phone number doesn't work on the website. Please advise.

  • historytastic Jenny Griffiths (@historytastic) reported

    @AaronTeamEC @virginmedia been with Plusnet for about 20 years now I think. No complaints - very good customer service.
