    we used to have 3 BB contracts with plus net for over 15 years, always been spot on, but since the BT Takeover they have gone downhill, I renewed one of the contracts October 2022, they now say that I never renewed the contract even though I spoke to an agent about it a couple of days later. been overcharged about £340 in total. apparently they have no records that far back including voice recordings. All I would Advise is take your business very much else where.

    arranged a move home date around the open reach plus net engineers. The open reach man was outside in his van for an hour I went out a couple of times. He didn't even attempt to come in to the property to check everything was working and just left. Typically it wasn't working. Call plus net and the earliest they will get someone out to look at the issue is 7 days. Absolutely shocking that they will leave someone 7 days without any internet in a day where people work from home for an error that was their side. really unsympathetic service and no attempts to bring an appointment forward. Won't recommend.

    Originally went with Plusnet as had been imopressed with the customer service experience whilst dealing with my parents broadband.
    And the technical support has been good. But really feels like the good people that work there aren't being supported by the higher ups.
    Am finally leaving them this year as despite asking this year what their plans for the PSTN switch off was and getting np answer, I have now been told they will not have a phone service after the analogue system is turned off.
    It's just starting to feel like a very stripped back business.
    Also I only had my hub working for under a year before the WiFi broke.
    But the connection to my property has always been reliable.

    Finally able to leave plusnet after 18 months contract. I have had a really bad customer experience and am sharing what I experienced. During my contract I was without a phone service for 30 days, not able to make or receive calls. I contacted Plusnet at the start of the problem and they refused to aknowledge that there was a problem. To have a senior customer services manager argue with me to tell me that my phone was working and that it was a crackle on the line. I was told that I would receive compensation for my lack of service by their customer services advisor ( as per the terms of their Ofcom agreement) but in the end they refused to honour this. I finally got the matter resolved by writing to the director of customer services. At the end of my contract I gave them a months notice that I was leaving and going to a new provider this was due to take place today 2nd October, but Plusnet decided to turn off my broadband on the 30th September so without any broadband or internet access for two days. I have raised this with Plusnet as a conmplaint who were supposed to ring me back today with an explanation and outcome but they neglected to contact me.

    We did not get the cash voucher promised when we signed up as payment failed going through to Plusnet on a switch site then on their site. It had to be done on the phone. First on a switch site £70 and on their own website offered £50 voucher. We expected a voucher would arrive within a few months but it didn't. The main person at home is elderly so it was forgotten. I was told by staff that after 3 months we could not claim it (as it was 'third party') - same answer even if offered on their site. Internet reliability and speed is average. Staff online are ok but you wont get your money back!

    Left Talk Talk because of appalling customer service and joined Plusnet. Plusnet service is terrible, I have been lied to, I have been promised dates, I have been waiting over 2 months for a service. Order placed May, now been told it will be August before I will get Broadband.
    I'm now wishing I stayed with Talk Talk - at least I had broadband!

    The Broadband side of things is fine, but just don't waste your time with their Webmail. Utterley hopeless, and whilst you might get in very early in the morning, from then on it's unlikely to connect until late evening.
    If Email is important to you, choose another Provider, as Plusnet is useless.
