“Appalling service-avoid this company. Ive been with them several years and every time I went out of contract they failed to notify me despite being on their vulnerable list and then they always apologised and refunded excess payments. On benefits life is hard enough. Explaining that you cant juts have extra money go out your account given it takes weeks to get back. Falls on deaf ears. I was mis sold a package and told this month the amount would be £28.01. I believe I had paid the £6.99 the previous month for the postage and packaging and had double checked with the agent. They tried the usual talking fast.....and all the sales pitches. So when I got billed for £34.95 I was perplexed. I wrote to them on facebook-I then got a pack of baloney told. I told them if they didnt call me back Id be cancelling the 2 year contract. They rang within about an hour, the attitude of M customer agent was disgusting. He came on the phone already speaking in an unacceptable tone, admitted he hadnt heard the transcript but was arrogant to think that he was right and not prepared to accept my questioning of what I beleived to be a double payment. When i told him this wasnt the first time this had happened his response was, "Do you think it could be you then". He then tried to infer that I was trying to get the package for the same deal. He then put in black and white how I was angry after 5 times he tried to repeat the same content of his email. SO I voted with my feet. I cancelled my phone with them, and cancelled my broadband with them. No doubt they will get that all wrong too. Plusnet you didnt do me proud and you definitely didnt do yourselves proud. The piece de la resistance was the cancellations team member telling me how much he understood it must be like to have unexpected bills, then telling me he's not on benefits. Get some diversity training at plusnet because neither of you should be handling vulnerable people, causing confusion with statements like "we will repay you £10" when I had neither paid £10 excess, or telling me Id hadnt paid the £6.99 postage when I had. Dont have a clue what theyre doing and then they wonder when you get ignored why people get angry? I instructed them to cancel the contract, where to return the new unopened equipment and that was ignored. I double checked because i feared they would try to pass on the £140 bill to me. They hadnt done that either. I ca spend £600-£700 annually elsewhere and am going to. Their loss.”

“Speeds were poor, no better than any other provider - decided to cancel my direct debit after never actually using it and never making a call - I would avoid them to be honest, the customer service is very poor, and I found them charging me even though I didn't use the service - I was told I could cancel with a payment or put a 30-day notice on, and they would charge me more ... I informed them I had never used the SIM, and they insisted on charging me anyway and threatened to go to debt collectors even though I have never made one call with the SIM - all they were interested in was getting their money, no leeway for the customer, no attempt to understand the customers position - a check on the account shows no calls or anything were ever made, but plusnet were not in the least interested. The call-handler did complain to me that this was making her job difficult - poor girl; although she was more interested in the terms and conditions ...”

“Only giving 1 star as I can't give 0. The staff you do eventually get to speak to are rude and unhelpful. I've been over a month with no service but this seems acceptable to them”

“Absolutely shocking company. Can't access Netflix or download films. Promise that Engineer will ring me back. They don't! I cancel within 14 days and then get threatening emails about Debt Collection Agencies if I don't pay £230 cancelation charges. Stay Away from this company! You have been warned......”

“Useless service broadband is constantly off line and they take days to fix it. Pay a little more and get a proper service. Utter cowboys”

“Stayed in for a day as requested by Plusnet for a broadband problem to be fixed. Problem not fixed, and no communication from Plusnet. Waste of a day. Awful customer service. No doubt I will still be charged for the service I am not receiving. Worth trying a different ISP!”

“If I could give them no stars I would. Cancelled the sim I'd purchased for my son on a one month buy now cancel at anytime agreement online. As he'd turned 18 (was willing to pay for his own phone) it turns out that if you dont phone they automatically renew! Without your consent. And sign you up to a 12 month contract. I've now been charged a late payment fee and now I have to pay for a 12 month contract I'm not using. Phoning them is infuriating! I was passed to 5 different people. They try to take direct debits 7 days before due. Or at random times. Please avoid this company at all costs.”

“I thought that I had followed their instructions to close my contract. However they kept invoicing me. I ignored these invoices thinking that it was an error on their part, only to be hit with a £10 late payment charge”

“5 for their technical setup but nil for hitting me with a £79 fee cancellation fee when I moved home. I had started a parallel account until I actually moved but they ignored that. Not sure about renewing again.”

“Been with them for years but now are an absolute shambles. Messed up the house move created a new account with wrong details, eventually got going but just had email saying a direct debit set up on old account - called and they said ok we'll sort it. They cancelled the old account but also managed to cancel email address. Rang them and they couldn't seem to care less. They agreed to open the old account as email only but would take several days so I'm without emails.COMPUTER SAYS NO is the current service response to everything. Incompetence rules since BT took them over”
