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.

The customer service is the worst I've ever experienced. Each time I've phoned I receive contradictory information and I'm always promised I'll be phoned back to which never happens. Useless

Very poor customer service. Charged me even after the contract ended and they had said I was going to get a refund because the price was going up
I would not recommend. Even set a debt collection agency on to me for 14£. Be very careful if you want to use them, they are part of BT after all. Not good

I’ve been with plusnet for well over 10 years as I’ve always managed to get onto a good deal at renewal. Even moving house with them was easy. Just recently upgraded to fttp and service went a bit awry, however a call with their support team has got it resolved. Has no issue getting through to them. Whenever I call them pick up is quick. Tech support do a call back from a text bot service and say it will be within 30 mins. My call was more like 10 mins. Very happy with their customer support.

I have been waiting for 15 days since my order went through. They keep saying it's down to Openreach not getting back to them. But this isn't the main issue here. The main issue is that Plusnet doesn't care about updating me on the status.
They won't chase openreach or give me an update unless I keep calling them. They always ask me for a new deadline and once day comes, Plusnet doesn't get in touch with me at all.
And what happens next is that I need to keep on calling and begging for them to act as professionals!!!

I have been a Plusnet customer since 2008. Had quite a few problems with back in the past so went to fibre TTC and there was a great improvement. The customer service is very good when you can get through. Next year my 24 month contract ends and Plusnet wants to increase it by over £20 per month. This will not happen as I will seek another supplier.

I joined Plusnet broadband in March 2023 at an advertised cost of £25.99 per month, switching from Sky which was £30 per month. However, I have never paid £25.99 per month but instead, £29.74 per month. I joined Plusnet via their telephone sales team and not once was I warned that I would never pay the price agreed of £25.99 per month but in fact an increased price. If I'd have been told, I would never have switched.
I called this morning to complain and was told that there is an annual price increase at the end of March. I questioned why the operator is happy to tell me this following a complaint but the sales person did not tell me this at the time. He just repeated his script about the annual price change etc. As soon as I put the receiver down I received an automated email saying it's all explained in their T&Cs and that my complaint was closed.

Waiting for my new contract to start, which was expected to commence on 01/06/23. However, Plusnet notified me via text on 15/05/23 that my activation date has been changed to 24/07/23, nearly 2 months later than requested.
Upon speaking to Plusnet they explained the situation, however, did not explain how I am supposed to work from home with no internet for two months.
Their customer service team has been helpful in most instances so far, however, I would be wary regarding any promised activation date if you don't want to be stung. I am now going to have ask my current provider if I can delay my agreed cancellation date.
Unlikely to be renewing with Plusnet after this contract.

Started badly, never sent me my router, spent a month chasing the router and line issues, so for the first month I paid for nothing. Service was ok once I finally had it working but the modem would crash about once every two days and need power cycling to get it running again. I put it on a time clock and had it power cycle every night. Left at the end of the contract, would have liked to have stayed a few months more but not at the huge price increase out of contract £28-50.

Would not even give one star if it was possible. Signed up 6.3.23 leaving 4.5.23. After hours and hours of phone calls being passed here there and everywhere without sorting any issues sometimes unable to speak to people numerous promises of calls back which were never received etc. they have been useless from start to finish! Please do not sign up for your own sanity even my husband who is very placid and laid back said they are making him ill.

I'm happy to be leaving Plusnet broadband next month - their service is overpriced and unreliable. I just had my internet cut out at a crucial moment during an extremely important meeting. Charging out of contract customers over £50 a month for rubbish connectivity is not a good look. If I ever need to change broadband providers again, Plusnet will be at the bottom of the list.

If I could put a minus figure, I would give plusnet a minus. We took out a broadbrand contract with Plusnet, due to circumstances we had to move within 6 months of starting the account. We provided a change of address and asked if we could continue with them at the new address. We were told there would be no problem. We were then told we had to pay £173 cancellation fee, we disputed this and Plusnet apologised. A few weeks later £173 was deducted from our account, without notice. We have been fighting for a month to get that back. We have had numerous phone calls with Plusnet and passed from pillar to post. We have now had enough, we do not recommend anyone goes with Plusnet!

Plusnet quoted me a reasonable price on an 18 month contract. Just after the two week exit period elapsed Plusnet spiked the price up by nealy 4 pounds a month. Their head office refused to let me out of the contract, said it was within their terms and now I just have to keep paying it.

Wow plusnet, where do we begin, so we moved into our property ordered the internet for it to only be installed 2 months later, they admitted that they had forgotten about us, gave us 4 moths free, soon as those 4 months ended we went to Virgin, plusnet offer £24 at the time the contract was taken out, stating you get 26mbps, (you get 3mbps) only, 3.2 on a good day, customer services suck, having said that they are from yorkshire and that population has always tried being something it isnt, isnt that right DUCK! Quack Quack, ANYWAY STAY WELL CLEAR OF THIS COMPANY IF YOU HAVE ANY SENSE, I NEVER THATS WHY THEY GOT ME, BUT THAT WAS THEN, CHEERIO PLUSNET. THANKS FOR NOTHING.

Contract scammers.
Everything's fine with the service, but they scam you on contracts. Once your term ends, they double your price. So you have to take a new contract. However, if you ever move, that contract locks you into hundreds of pounds in moving fees. So if you ever plan to move in the future, they will always have a couple hundred quid off you because you're always forced to remain in a contract that suscribes to that. Very scammy. I suspect they make more on cancellation and moving fees than they do on their service.

7 months and still waiting for full fibre installation after countless cancelled appointments.
Plusnet is a pale shadow of what it was 12 yrs ago and those at the top should hang their heads in shame.

Signed up to full fibre last summer.installation was booked for September,but nobody turned up.Heard nothing,then they said they'd install on December 23rd,they did turn up,but couldn't complete installation and said they'd be back in about a week,but never happened.
Eventually,an appointment was made for early March 2023,but nobody turned up as usual.Another appointment was made a couple of weeks later,but same story.Another appointment was made,this time they said an engineer visited the property and realised further work was needed before he could carry out installation. I was here in the morning they said they were here,but I saw nobody !!
We were then guaranteed installation would be completed by 27th March,but guess what,another no-show.
We've pretty much given up with Plusnet,we currently have very slow BB speed of around 4-5mb but this is often halved in the evenings,so trying to stream something on TV can be very frustrating.
I honestly have no idea if installation will ever be achieved with Plusnet,because there's ok obviously a total breakdown between themselves and the BT/Openreach contractors.
We've been with Plusnet for about 12 years,they were excellent to deal with, customer service was absolutely brilliant,but it's been hard work to get anything resolved in recent years,and usually taken at least 2 phonecalls as staff don't sound as experienced as they were,but this Full Fibre installation farce has been a joke,it's now early April and have heard nothing for almost 2 weeks.

The worst!! my advice is do not even entertain this company. I have never fortunately had to give such a bad review but 3 weeks after moving into a new property we still have no internet!! Customer services have been useless!! Please do not even bother as the stress after also just moving is unbelievable. Massively disappointing that they use Open Reach as their get out clause. Normally only review positively but feel disappointed that we have had to review negatively as customer service can’t even help us!!! We are so really disappointed and frustrated.

Everything was fine at the old address. The problems started when I changed my place of residence. Plusnet couldn't guarantee me the high speed internet I had before so I ended my contract with them early. They make me pay a fine for this. In their regulations, in point 9.4, it is clearly written that if they cannot guarantee me the existing services at the new address, I can terminate the contract earlier without paying a penalty.

Then I waited for a long time and your company keep messaged me that the engineer will come to install the fibre on February 8th. (last month)
According to the video on your website, I moved all the furniture and waited all day, but the engineer did not turn up! I called customer service a few times and all of them told me: waiting, the engineer will be yours shortly! I don't understand this part, why the engineer has my number if he can't come he can simply tell me and let me know the reason, so I don't need to wait all day again, but he is doing nothing.
Nobody gave me any explanation why, so I have to make a new appointment, the new appointment is after a month! it was the 9th of March, yesterday! Waited for a month, and yesterday, the same drama,!!! No engineer, no phone call, all your customer service told me to wait!
Waiting one month or two? What is on the contract? Please take a look!
On contract 5.
Delivery of service
(page 5)it says:
If you're staying at the same address and changing product (e.g. Unlimited Broadband, Unlimited Fibre or Unlimited Fibre
Extra) it should be 1 – 2 weeks.
Yes, it's 1 – 2 weeks, NOT 1-2 months!
Your company is non-observance of the contract, and It was you who broke the contract first, not me, please take some responsibility!
This is a complaint.
And what about my bill? Why add some extra bills every now and then? Have you provided the services you promised in the contract?
I've never seen such poor service, this company are selling something you don't have, which is fibre & integrity and service,
Your company treats customers like garbage. Total waste of the customer's time and money.
I hope you will make some substantive changes: unconditionally delete my contract or complete your commitment next week.
It has been more than two months waiting for you to fulfil the promises and there are a total of 12 months in a year, unbelievable service!

was with them for nearly 5 years and they honestly treated me like crap at the end. on sep 2022 I took out a contract renewal. I showed as 12months or 6 months. I knee I was moving early 2023 so I took 6 months out. when I called in Feb 2023 to cancel my policy I was informed I was due them £170 as I still had a year on my account. I argued against this as I knew I took only 6months. I was called a liar and told this was my problem not theirs. they claim to not do 6 month contracts but then why did it show as that on my app when renewing. no one can answer that. never go with plusnet they are horrible and rip you off.

Disgusting company. Signed a new contract in June 2022 for 12 months, rang Plusnet two weeks later to let them know I was moving (we'd only just been informed of the move date) and they not only increased the price by £5 a month, they also added on an extra 12 months to the contract without me agreeing to it.
They sent me three emails on the day of the move and eight (8!!!) paragraphs down on the third email they sent me, hidden in tiny font it said "new 24 month contract". This is despite me saying several times to them over the phone that I did not want a new extended contract.
I have asked them to retrieve the recording of the phone call I had with them when we first had this discussion but they "cannot find it". This despite there being a disclaimer at the start of all calls with them saying that all calls are recorded.
Avoid at all costs - they are scammers!!!!

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.
