    Do not use this service "provider". I was mis-sold my initial contract after being told about a bogus cashback deal that never existed in order to stop me from going to Talk Talk. They refuse to let me out of my contract despite admitting to me that the sales advisor lied about the deal in order to get me to sign up. They are incompetant liars who you have to wait for 15 minutes to speak to, no matter what time of the day you try to call them. I cannot rate them low enough, and I have no idea how they won customer service awards. The novelty of listening to The Human League when you´re on hold wears off after the first 20 times you call them. The reason you call them so much being that they never bother to contact you or update you with meaningful information when they say they will. After requesting a home move, I have been left without any phone or internet service for a month, yet am still being billed for it. They cannot give me any idea when they can install my new line.
    Absolutely one of the worst companies I´ve ever dealt with.

    Plusnet is an absolute joke they can't even provide stable internet near lincoln, Unfortunately we've been with them for 5 years becasue their cheap, and boy does it show, slow speeds at non peak times, disconnects at non peak times, no internet at all recently because someone on plusnets end decided they'd like to fuck around with the IP values or some shit on their server as a going away present.

    Thanks plusnet for your cheap service your long waiting times your disconnects at non peak times your unstable bandwidth and your audacity to claim that the reason you are unable to meet my expectations is because you don't have the resources of a large company.

    I have been with plus net for over a year and I was very happy with the service until I moved house!!
    It has now taken almost 3 weeks to get my fibre broadband set up due to an error made by the employee who ordered my fibre not organising an engineer. I say 3 weeks but as yet I still have no internet!! I contacted customer services and complained. My complaint took several days to be acknowledge. I was contacted by plusnet who apologised for what was happening. I was told an engineer would be around sooner but infact it's actually now 3 days later than originally stated. To say I'm not happy is an understatement as I need internet for work purposes! I will certainly not be staying with plusnet in the future!!

    Been with them for 10 years now. Yes, sometimes the support is a bit slack, but to be honest, no company is perfect at this any more. Speed is mostly good (even though we are in the countryside) and I think that I've had a couple of outages in the last 8 years that we've been here. Just waiting for BT Openreach to make FTTC live in the village and I'll go to that with Plusnet too.

    If it was at all possible to give negative stars, I would give Plusnet minus 5 stars. The broadband is not only slow but redefines the word, frustrating. I am not exaggerating when I say that I cannot leave my room without the internet cutting off and needing to be reset and connected to about 10 times. Yes they're cheap but that is the only redeeming quality. Don't bother using Plusnet. You'll have a more pleasant experience repeatedly slamming your fingers in a door.

    Service has seriously dropped off in recent months....waiting times for any technical support are ridiculous....said 15 mins, as I type this review 30 mins so far. Last call a few days ago..Technical Support guy clearly wasn't a technical person and couldn't help. Not sure what's happening at Plusnet but they're certainly not the high quality and high value provider they used to be.

    I have signed up a 12 month contract with Plusnet and was waiting for the service. Router had not been delivered for almost 2 weeks. I could not use Internet despite paying for it. It was an option to cancel the agreement in first 14 days which was used. I was charged 30 pounds disconnection fee despite saying initially that if I change my mind I do not have to pay anything. Plus net did not put much efforts to keep me as a customer. All they were offering to pay me 0.6 pounds compensation for not having service on time. Also every single time when I was calling support line It took 15 minutes to get connected.

    Worst customer service I have experienced with a broadband company. I move fairly often and have tried several broadband providers. Plusnet are without doubt the worst for customer service: super-long wait times (30-45mins) for their cancellation service only rubbed salt in the wound.

    many thanks to both nikky and david for dealing with an old grumpy man who is not computer savvy, long wait on phone to make contact but very helpful and understanding the problem i think has now been fixed
