After years of uneventful service from Plusnet our 'fun' began when moving house.
A switch date of the 19th Jan was agreed by Plusnet which was changed a few days beforehand to the 23rd, apparently at the behest of BT Openreach.
Long story short (and literally hours of phone calls later) 4 subsequent 'go live' dates have come and gone (with me always having to chase up the issue) and we're still without a landline and broadband as of the 1st Feb.
To put the tin hat on the whole thing in my latest call, Tenaz (the first Plusnet employee to actually take ownership of this shambles) has discovered that our order was actually cancelled, without reason, on the 26th Jan. So, to be clear, Plusnet have latterly been supplying 'go live' dates for a cancelled order that was never going to happen!
I'm being told that Plusnet can't talk directly to BT Openreach and, despite my pain and inability to operate without broadband, nothing can be done to escalate or accelerate the 'go live' date. I therefore now have to wait up to another 10 working days to be connected on this replacement order. That will be 23 days after the switch date originally provided ... if it happens.
In the hope that someone from Plusnet may actually care and read this review, the ticket number is 230387995 and I look forward to your commentary regarding this total incompetence. If this is Plusnet 'doing me proud' it speaks volumes about your customer service commitment.

Honestly the worst customer experience I have ever encountered. Insincere and utterly unreliable. Their customer service representatives might be extremely charming and say all the right things when you are on the phone with them but there is zero follow through and absolutely no accountability. Once they hang up, you are forgotten. We had three different installation appointments across December where no one turned up. We were then promised a dongle would be couriered across to us overnight to provide us with interim connectivity until they could book in a fourth installation appointment. That dongle never arrived. Umpteen promises of calls back to sort things out – they never materialised. So many broken promises. What makes this even worse is that this was for my mum who is registered with them as a vulnerable person due to health issues and yet they still left her without any type of connectivity for over a month. Just really, really disappointing.

Switch should have been today. It’s not worked, and the earliest engineer appointment is 1 week later. No alternative options available. If you need broadband for work suggest you do not risk signing up.

Broadband cuts out daily. Happy to give varying amounts on your account to pay and not inform you if a payment made manually (with adequate funds) is rejected.
Also happy to sell to dent agents one day after cutting off and refusing to take extra payment because the additional added on previous wasn't was the account said it was.
Absolutely terrible company!!!

Driven to add my comment after seeing a high rating for customer satisfaction. My experience of their customer services has been VERY poor. When I entered into a contract renewal I lost the inbuilt security. I didn't realise as an icon remained on my computer. Was at great risk for a month. Told it would take another month to fix and that I should arrange a free trial service to cover. After the month, still no security. I got free security. I then got a computer problem and the engineer told me my security was very poor. I got some compensation discounts but would rather have had the service. I've enough email correspondence, and records of phone calls, to write a book. After about a year my complaints were pushed up a level. At last some help! I was told to BUY MY OWN security and Plusnet would credit my account with the cost. About 18 months into my 2 year Plusnet contract they advised me that they had changed their security supplier from McAfee to Norton and that this might download and work. It did. I could have done without the time spent and anxiety this cost me. An altogether unpleasant experience.

The worst company that i have ever had to deal with, have had a technical issue since it was installed 18 months ago, no one is capable of resolving and when i ask to move they have the cheek to charge me.
DO NOT USE EVER------------------

Upon contacting your services in August, I was informed that, as I did not have an English bank account, I only needed to borrow a friend's account information and then, when I had a user profile, I could put in my Norwegian details. This proved to be false.
I never received either a phone line or broadband router, as I have informed the customer service team on the phone several times.
Not hearing anything for months, I was shocked when my friend told me that you had taken a monthly fee from his account. When contacting customer service (again).
After apologising for not delivering the service, thereby admitting that it was not in effect, customer service still insisted that I kept paying until they could install one later in January (four months later). I would therefore pay a monthly fee prior to the installment of the service. By then, of course, I never wanted anything more to do with this company.
Finally, I insisted on cancelling my "subscription" with Plusnet. Talking to a very apologetic young man on the phone, he tried urgently to convince his manager that I would be exempt from the cancellation fee since I did not actually cancel anything (since no service was ever supplied). Yet the manager, of course, insisted on the cancellation fee to be paid.
This is shameless, fraudulent, and disgusting behaviour, to demand payments and fees for a service without ever supplying it.

PlusNet are a Great service provider. I was with Virgin, who were fast, but unreliable. I'd lose connection for several hours most weeks. Then I went to Sky. They were reliable, but while they advertised 60mbs, (which it was at the hub), I got only 35 mbs when I tried wireless, and just 5.7 mbs when upstairs away from the hub. Now, with Plusnet, I get the reliability of Sky, with the speed of Virgin, and at a cost lower than both Sky and Virgin. Unless they really jack up the prices, I am staying put. Thoroughly recommended.

I have just managed to activate my plusnet purecard to access my £50 discount. I am disgusted that it has taken so many steps to activate this. This company has created a process designed to ensure as many people as possible do not realise the card value.
This process is discriminatory to so many different population groups, particularly the elderly / people with learning difficulties / illiteracy and people with adhd.
If discrimination is a value of plusnet company i will certainly not be renewing my contract next time.
