“Really bad customer service. No tickets for service. Have to use chat which is only open during day. If over their low email limit they archive your email wasting your time and theirs as you have to request it to be unarchived. The fact that you reduce the load after they ask is irrelevant if the next time they check it is again over. They do not bother monitoring the reduction in load. Inconvenient, Unhelpful. Don't use”

“"Absolutely appalling service. How can as service provider company operate on this low level of competence is beyond me. I received an e-mail telling me I have overdue cancellation charges to pay. It included a phone number to phone and to settle the changes. I phoned in only to be told that they no longer take payments over the phone. Not a big deal, the automatic answer points me towards a website called plus.net/pay to settle the bill. I type it in and of course it comes back with an error. Left with no other options I am phoning in again, am told the waiting time to speak to an adviser is currently 15 minutes. I have already been waiting 35. Plusnet, I suggest you sort out your service because you will have no customers left. In today's world abundant with broadband companies and choice, you really need to rethink the way you treat your customers."”

“""Plusnet offer to make you proud and boast award winning service. I have had problems with them from day one, the service is certainly not award winning. As an existing customer you struggle to contact them except by phone and then you are waiting ages! One word rubbish!”

“Terrible broadband service. Internet constantly goes down and takes an age to get sorted.Phone support ,long queues ,don't respond to emails. In the time I've been with plusnet my internet has been down lots. Even when I joined it took nearly three weeks to sort out my phone line and router because they "lost" my original order. Should have backed out then. Nearly out of contract and can't wait to get shot of them”

“Every time I try to call PlusNet there is always a 15 to 30 minute waiting time. Perhaps you should employ more people to answer the phones because having seen my bill rise to almost double what I originally agreed I am looking elsewhere. This service is not what I signed up for.”

“waiting on phone support to answer a simple account query. Been on hold for 15 minutes after being answered after a 15 minute wait and been transferred. So on hold now for 30 minutes and reading all the 1* reviews on a number of review websites and thinking "change provider before you have a REAL problem"...”

“I am in the process of going back to plusnet having really struggled with talktalk but I would say Plusnet are now worse. If I could get in touch in some way I would definitely stop the service . I'm really disappointed, I don't want to be on the phone an hour repeating myself to poor speaking foreigners that's not what I signed up for. I'm going to try to contact them again today, if no good I'm pulling the plug on them.”

“Plusnet have good TV marketing but everything else about the company is rotten. Broadband service supposed to start on 8 August and 7 days later I am still not connected. Customer services do not care and technical do not respond to queries. Phone lines always jammed and message on customer login says that you cannot complain for 7 days. Leave message on support page and it tells you there is a 14 hour wait. 2 days later still no response. It is wrong that they are allowed to take your money and provide no service. Anyone thinking of moving don't, you will regret it. Finally an update today (7 days later) to confirm that they have not done anything to sort the issue out as the small print gives them 5 working days grace before they actually have to sort the matter out. They claim I have to give them “time” to fix the issue but will not provide a timescale of how many days that is. If you value your broadband ignore Plusnet’s marketing hype.”

“Unfortunately they don't live up to their promise to 'do you proud'. Long waits to get through to customer support. Live chat that isn't and long fix times to repair faults.”

“Dealing with Plusnet is a bit like trying to win the biggest prize on a rigged fairground attraction, then wondering why you've ended up frustrated and skint. One of the reasons I've looked forward to being back online, is so I could write this review! As loyal customers, we had naively signed-up again with Plusnet, just prior to receiving the worst customer service we've had from any internet provider...ever. Our router broke a week ago. Getting through to them on the phone was a task testing enough on its own. Waited up to 30 mins to get through. When we did make contact they promised to get a replacement out "within 2 - 5 days". That struck me as an unacceptably long and vague window, but unfortunately I'm not the account holder, so i don't call the tune. Anyway, waited in the hope that such a large, successful company would be using a fast (24 hour) courier. Nothing after 3 working days, so we rang them again on the 4th day, only to be told they'd "had a problem with the manufacturer", and our box would be posted "within 1-2 days". This info was clearly deliberately withheld in the first instance. They are procrastinating liars, in my opinion. Our new router arrived today - exactly one week after the old one broke down, so we've been locked out of the t'interweb for 7 days, thanks their inefficiency and holding out on us. It's a shame, because you used to be able to ring them and speak to somebody directly within minutes. They portray themselves as a good, old-fashioned, honest-to-God Yorkshire company, but they certainly don't deliver, let alone "do us proud" - as they so boldly claim.”

“After a frustrating month of hard resets, factory resets, sending reports in (as requested) of separate attempts to connect to the internet, replacing the sim, being told that 'they will come back to me' - I have finally given up!. If you read other comments on the web you will find hundreds of new Plusnet customers who have been unable to access data/get an internet connection. The staff member who finally gave me my pac code after 3 x 15 minute attempts to get through did admit 'they had a couple of others'!!!!! with the same problem. Guess I will now have to crawl back to EE with my tail between my legs - If you learn from my bad experience it would have been worthwhile:-(”
