i Signed up for Fiber beginning of august 2014, was advised it would take up to 4 weeks to complete the installation.
5 months on and countless lies, miss-information, line faults and even blackmail from plus-net support, the fiber broadband was finally installed.
i was also told i would relieve 3 months of the package FREE and that they could do me a better deal on the package i previously signed up for in august.
this information was also lies.
i am now having to pay the 1st 3 month despite being told it was free, and my overall bill has been reduced by about £1 a month (£15 over 9 month period) and then for the remaining 9 months it goes back up to full price!!
in short i have received little to no compensation for the hassle and stress caused by the miss-information, lies and blackmail this company seems to revel in.
i would not be with Plus-Net had i not been blackmailed into staying by their cancellation dept.
i would not recommend this company to anyone.
Sign up at your own risk!!

Appalling support.
Opened a slow connection ticket in Dec 14, its now Feb 15 and nothing has been fixed, they blame BT who say there is an issue but they can't find it and that' all they can do!
Ticket goes unanswered for weeks at a time despite being chased by myself.
Avoid Plusnet.

I was promised an automatic (sent by cheque within 60days) £50 cashback when signing up, when my confirmation email didnt mention the cachback I rang up to check it add been applied, she confirmed it had been and yes it was automatic, 5 months later and many, many emails and still no £50, first they said there was no offer, then there was but I wasnt entitled, then I was entitled but did not claim it in time... useless. Broadband speed seems to be ok most of the time but online tv frequently freezes, connection drops and signal barely reaches the next room.

Into my second month now with PN.
What a difference to the slow offering I had previously from Sky.
Change over went exactly as I was advised, router landed when they said it would, Openreach chaps came and did their bit when I was told they would (they were actually an hour early!).
I was overcharged on my first bill by £5, but a couple of emails later, that was credited back to me.
Getting Fibre free for 6 months is a great bonus, and at a cost of £5 or more less than Sky, I can't fault PN (And their fibre speed is twice what Sky could deliver)
Well done Plus net.

the worst experience of my internet history, i have used virgin/sky etc which all have been perfect, switched to plusnet and it is a living nightmare, i am being cut off daily 2 or 3 times, when i rang up the 8th time they had me taking my phone socket to pieces to try to fix the problem myself haha what a joke im no engineer, there customer service is non existent, they had the cheek to offer me a £2 discount for all my troubles even after admitting there is a fault (insult) is the word for that... the sooner my contract is up the better, put simnply plusnet are horrendous, im giving 1 star all round as there is no option to give a 0 star rating, 1 star is still generous, to any potential customers please avoid and go somewhere else as you will regret it otherwise !!!

Surprised speed is so poor and always an excuses. Worse than it was with B.T. wired connection! I believe i have been miss sold fibre as the cable to my house comes over fields, was assured by B.T. and Plusnet it was fibre and the wiring across the fields would not be a problem as would be fibre optic either side! Silly me I'm thinking as I think of the story of the Kings new cloths. Was warned of priority usage, by Plusnet, slow me down to speed up someone else - yep I'm sure it happens!
Save spending out money to leave Plusnet don't go there! Being a pensioner on a low income I can't afford to leave at this time. Rely on broadband as live in rural countryside and seldom see anyone, it's contact with friends and family for me! Need shopping on line esp. groceries, it's so disheartening when you try and amend a shopping order and broadband is so slow in the evening when others are doing the same - points to priority use or my being far away from exchange which I was told was no problem with fibre optic connection!
Not a happy bunny wish I had stayed with BT sooner the devil you know!

After i changed provider Plus net where still billing me 3 months later Then i got another bill for £42.55 for cancellation charges after they said there wouldnt be any.Customer service is really bad and it takes at least 15 mins to get through. On a positve note broadband is pretty good but i would not recommend.

I chose to go with Plusnet in Sept 2014 after three solid years with Virgin Media purely to reduce costs. We had everything installed at our house in Birmingham as per the dates and things were going pretty well. We moved home on December 17th and arranged for our broadband to be moved to our new address. We were told it would all be sorted on the 24th December, so Christmas eve, Christmas came and went, as did New Year - still nothing. We finally got online on 7th January. About a week after this the broadband went off, this was because we changed our direct debit details and apparently this hadn't gone through in time when the bill was requested. We subsequently paid this over the website and we were back up and running. Suddenly out of nowhere our broadband went off again on 22nd January. We tried to call Plusnet on their 0800 number but our phone line wasn't working so we had to use our mobiles. We were on hold for over half an hour before we ended the call still without an answer. We decided to try to contact them through the website, where we finally started getting some responses. We were told that they can look into the problem but we may be charged £50 if it is a fault on the internal wiring, which I was shocked with as we haven't touched anything in our house and we only use the wifi for logging onto the internet. I told them we won't be paying anything as it is a problem on the line into our house. We have basically had to accept the liability of a £50 charge just to get them to speak to us on the fault. Subsequently they have asked me for my mobile number, which they already have, and some dates that I can do. I told them on Tuesday I could do certain times that week and they never came back to me, so now I have to rearrange next week so they can send someone over. I was then sent a link to a youtube video to check my phone line, which I found bizarre. I work as an electrical engineer for a large consultancy so I think I know how to check a line in my house! We still have no answer from their customer services department as to when they are going to actually bother to fix their line. My wife works from home so she has had to go to Costa just to get online. They are an absolute disgrace and they need to start getting a grip, I don't know what has happened to their company they used to be pretty good but they are awful now. I wish I could cancel my contract but I will have to pay the remainder of it. TRUST ME IF YOUR THINKING OF USING PLUSNET, DON'T, THERE ARE MUCH BETTER COMPANIES OUT THERE, LIKE SKY, VIRGIN, TALKTALK ETC - AVOID PLUSNET LIKE THE PLAGUE THEY WILL NEVER SORT THINGS OUT FOR YOU - THEY JUST SEND LINKS TO YOUTUBE VIDEOS TO FIX FAULTS - ABSOLUTE JOKE.
