Incompetent staff who like to leave you in the dark, I made a complaint about some issues I had. I was told an investigation was going to take place and that I would hear back. Obviously I’ve heard nothing back until a debt collections letter come through my door for £20. No phone calls or emails about owed money, straight to a third party company. Of course all they care about is money and not customer satisfaction.

I have been with PlusNet now for around 12 months. I was previously a customer many years ago and had a bad experience with their customer service. When looking to change deals in our new home, PlusNet offered the best deal so I decided to try them again. I have been shocked at how bad this company have become.
We have a relatively new build home (<10 years) yet from the speeds we get you'd be forgiven for believing we live in a forest with no phone line. We are a short distance to the 'green box'. We get, apparently, acceptable speed to the router which is where their customer service ends. They guarantee a line speed but in the small print this is only for a wired connection and does not apply to WiFi. We had many issues with the service cutting out and receiving sub 1mbps speeds they sent a new router, which made no difference. They sent two 'engineers' the last from BT who decided to disconnect every other phone socket in the house bar the master at the front of the home. Not only did this mean we had to relocate the router, but now signal towards the back of the house was almost non-existent. PlusNet did not care a bit that this happened.
I have tried range extenders, power line adaptors and installing a MESH network, none of which improve the overall quality of the broadband and ultimately I still only receive 1-4mbps download the majority of the time and cannot even stream a 3 min YouTube clip!
Complaining to PlusNet is nothing short of banging your head against the wall. They are rude, unhelpful and simply do not care they are providing a subpar service.
I will never use this company again. Their Hub2 does not support MESH network so now I am having to work out how to install a 3rd party modem/router to improve performance.
Use at your peril!

Was happy with them for a while, but my wife and I are getting issues for work, teams, FaceTime, blink and ring cameras not working.
Upload speed is 0.5 mbps, new router installed, engineer tried to improve the speed but hopeless, FULL FIBRE is not available as only CITY FIBRE
Want to terminate contract but not possible for 7 months
Looks like I will have to pay twice now for another provider
If you want to use any application or device that needs reasonable upload speeds then avoid PLUSNET

Had a few problems on the line. Had no problem getting through to humans for help. I would use their service again.

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.
