    Worst experience I ever had. When I signed up I requested a phone socket to be installed and the cancelled that because they said I don’t need it. Like they know what I had inside my house. Anyway I called again booked an appointment with Ingineer who never showed. Called again the booked again only to find out on the day the haven’t actually booked another appointment. Absolute joke!

    No connection for the last few days. Today, waiting for an engineer booked 0800-1300, rang three times one agent said he is coming another said he rang me and couldn’t get hold of me so he left(I’ve been in front of the window and had no missed calls) and now they are saying let’s hope they fix the issue. What a waste of time and nothing sorted.

    Avoid. Internet connection very unstable and unreliable. Upload speeds are unbelievably slow. We are now on our 3rd router in 2 months. They tried to charge us for a replacement for it being their equipment!! Still constantly dropping out and losing internet despite 2visits from openreach to solve the problems. Customer service very unhelpful and difficult to get to speak to someone. However very efficient at putting up their prices I've noticed. Can't wait for my contract to end so I can go elsewhere.

    Ok so I’ve been with plusnet for one year now, I’ve been a customer since mid 2021 and have recently just taken out a new 2 year deal, (huge mistake) firstly the reliability of the Wi-Fi in the first year was horrible, so bad, we had to by booster out of our own pocket as they would not upgrade to router free of charge, after we bought the booster the Wi-Fi was ok, not great but ok, the devices connected via Ethernet were very in and out for some reason, ( we have there top package that is available to us I should have mentioned this earlier), the initial price was £24.00 pounds per month but they put my price up about 3 pounds per month last march, even know I was told my price wouldn’t go up , like I said I’ve recently taken another contract out with them because of three reasons, 1. they offered me a 2 year contact at £22 pounds per month which was by far the cheapest I could find, 2. They gave me there top of the range router for free ( or so I thought) and 3. They assured me my price would not go up, which at the time was a great deal, the massive problem is however I was lied to in all three factors, the free router was free but I was never at any point told I had to pay the £8 pounds postage which the slyly just added to my last months bill with out any confirmation at all, the the real kick in the teeth was the the email I received today stating my bill is going up £3.77 per month from march after being repeatedly reassured my bill would not increase over the term of my mew contract, so obviously I was very annoyed so I phone to cancel only to be told I’ve had the new contract for 17 days and I must be cancelled within 14 days to cancel, speaking to this new guy on the phone basically he said the guy that sold me the contact has repeatedly lied to me to get me to sign a new contract but there’s nothing he can do as he was sacked last week, overall there customer service is very good and fast, but given the chance there staff will definitely lie to you to get a sale, they have done it to me on multiple occasions, if it wasn’t going to be £330 pounds to cancel the contract I would have done it today. CAN NOT RECOMMEND PLUSNET

    How naughty can you get. I looked at the headline price which looked fine, it went live 3 days ago. Today I got a message of a near 15% increase.
    So I think as I am within my 14 days I'll cancel and go with someone who doesn't deliver such sharp practices!
    Adiós!

    Absolutely horrendous. Internet always going off and sometimes for 2 weeks. They said they would pay compensation paid 30 days after faults is resolved however, keep opening the same complaint because it's the same fault therefore avoiding paying the compensation.

    Been with Plusnet for about 5 years and while their broadband is reliable, the customer service is terrible.
    Didn't receive a reward card that was promised when I signed a new contract and then wouldn't allow me to close the account without £200+ fee.
    I had to chase them for 5 months despite multiple promises to call me back.
    It's a shame but there are cheaper and just-as-reliable providers available.
