Worst internet provider ever! I have had countless problems with Plusnet. We have booked for the 4th or 5th engineer to come out and 'fix' the problem. The first 3 engineers made the internet even worse. We've had to buy an internet booster to try and make it better ourselves. I would not recommend them please save your money and find a company that actually can provide an internet connection. -

Been with plusnet for a couple of years, stuck in a contract. Honestly the worst WiFi provider I have ever experienced. The WiFi speed is atrocious, keeps cutting out and not working. Even when you call customer service you end up talking to some robot, and when you finally talk to a human being they just check their end and say oh well it’s working, even though it’s not. AVOID THIS WIFI PROVIDER. -

Worst mobile and broadband service I have encountered in last 10 years! Staff are incompetent and in cases actually lie! Made manager listen to call and confirmed this despite initially trying to excuse it. Routers are substandard and was offered £60 to buy my own after the 3rd replacement!!! Avoid this company at all costs -

So pleased to have left Plusnet. Had to put up with a noisy/whistling router for 18 months and broadband that kept dropping out numerous times a day. Approaching the end of contract, I received so many emails from Plusnet, each giving conflicting information. I called to give notice and how strange - suddenly my landline wouldn't receive incoming calls and Broadband connection was even worse! Since moving to new provider a few weeks ago - phone works fine, broadband never drops out and we have a lovely, quiet router. -

I left BT to go over to Plusnet. Its been rubbish from the day this was installed. Ive had more problems than Ive ever had with any broadband provider. One my Broadband day it dropped out 25 time. And, they told me this when id phoned up to complain. They said leave it a couple of days. Then called back and said its settled down now. Rubbish it cuts out everyday especially at night. terrible supplier and hate been stuck with them for another year. -

I have to restart my router at least once a week, and I was charged to move house, something I've never experienced before with an ISP. -

Terrible broadband provider. Let's start with how they delay setting up my service by 18 (!) days. During the service period, the speed was terrible, dropping off significantly at times. If 3 people were using the internet at the same time, that would pretty much stall everything. Yesterday my contract ended and today a bill was still generated! I have just discussed it with a customer support rep and he suggested that either I pay it and they will refund it, or cancel my direct debit. Why wasn't it done properly on their end?! Are they hoping that some people will just not notice that payments keep going through? This is just an extremely poor focus on customers all around. I will never use PlusNet again. -

Joined Plusnet standard broadband from Now Broadband previously. I dont have fibre in my area. Broadband was working fine with Now,but Plusnet was a disaster from day 1. We all worked from home as it was lockdown and Now Broadband was fine. So why did Plusnet fail me, we had problems everyday of the week. Always losing WiFi and getting shouted at by kids. Plusnet tried doing things their end, but then just said its my problem as they're showing fine from their side. But I know that was rubbish as other suppliers never gave me issues at all. After all I was using the same phoneline, just different useless Plusnet router. Having given up now I've moved to Virgin, I've still got 9 months left of my 18 month contract but il pay to get away from these clowns. Seriously it should be easier to get away from a disaster service like Plusnet. Maybe award winning but what about those of us they can't send a decent supply to?? Surely they should do more or let us go without penalites?? I'm cancelling my sim with them just because I'm so angry at paying £89 early exit fee to leave them. Good riddance Trashnet. Would give zero stars if I could -

Unable to deliver the speed they claim to be able to deliver, broadband hub unable to send wifi signal through an open room so I have to keep my computer wired to an extender, customer service unable to pick up a phone in 1h time, 4 engineers could not fix a minor cabling problem, they increased my monthly charge from £30 to £43.00 without contacting me. In order to cancel the contract they wanted to charge me approximately £300.
overall if it would be possible ill rate it as -5 stars not recommended at all. My worst decision ever on choosing this broadband supplier. -

Joined up online 4.8.21, payment of £23.95 taken on sign up. Email from Plusnet 5.8.21 could not find a working line at my property, despite me already having broadband, but they had found a spare line that they could install for £49.99! I both emailed and telephoned Plusnet who at no time offered any explanation for the no line story. The order was cancelled but it has taken a further two phone calls to be informed that my refund of £23.95 was made on 12.8.21 although I am yet to receive it. A totally dishonest company who I would avoid at all costs! -

I joined plusnet in March 2019 after being with Sky for 16 plus years,and it's the best decision I have ever made,reliable,good price,and my broadband has never missed a beat.
The only downside I have is the plusnet hub one router is not the best,so I upgraded to a bt router and the rest is history,once you pair it with BT it works perfectly,would highly recommend plusnet if my experience is anything to go by. -

Internet went down. Called helpline phone answered after one ring, engineer visited next day, was kind and courteous explained everything. He did a temporary fix as the wire coming out the ground was too short to fix. Three days later another engineer came, dug up the path replaced the wire under ground and returned path to normal. Outstanding service I will recommend this company to all. -

Went to plusnet from bt as I needed to save money and all the awards they supposed to have, worst mistake ever, the wifi is terrible, the speed is a good 10-15mbps slower which is a lot when all we can get where i live is 56mbps max, it cuts out all the time and the range it covers is alot less as well. I'm amazed that my WiFi is the same line and everything, basically the same company yet comparatively you are worlds apart. The online chat was disabled which I thought was odd as during covid I would have thought it was a better option for contacting there home workers, I tried calling numerous times but gave up after, 30 to 45 minutes of waiting on hold.
I looked again today and the online chat is working, YAY, but wait, every option on there just comes back with a bot saying call us on customer services number and then it abruptly closes the chat, this is all except the sales line oh they talk to you, they want your money! Are you paying for these awards??? The only other company I have needed to contact a couple of times recently was sky and they manage to answer you during covid so not an excuse. Overall won't be staying with plusnet -
