Plusnet Home Broadband Reviews

I’m one elderly lady living on my own. My broadband needs are simple, so I don’t need high speeds. I’m very happy with Plusnet.

Given my rural location, the speed I get is as good as it could be. And the network is reliable. The package with the home phone is very good value. And the customer service is exemplary.

I have used Plusnet for many years and have been impressed with the reliability of it. They also have good customer service and it is easy to talk to someone if you need something sorted out or to discuss your contract.

Plusnet is a reliable broadband supplier but broadband needs extender even in my small semi detached home. Cost is reasonable but not the cheapest.

They are easy to deal with and offer excellent value for money. I also appreciate that their call centre is based in the UK

The customer service is very good and the line is generally reliable.

Reliable service with good speed

Easy to contact and have always given me great service.

I'm hard of hearing, telephones are difficult. Owld, not terribly tech savvy text are difficult. Why cant I contact Plusnet via E-mail? as I age more bits fail to work, Can still read and write! Not an option on my Plusnet account.

They are good

We dont get the service were propmised. Internet drops out all the time.

Been with them for a few years now, recently renewed my contract, and I'm now paying a little bit less than before. The service when speaking to them was brilliant, they weren't pushy. I explained what I use it for and they sorted out the best value package.

I've been with Plusnet for years. Unfortunately I'm a little limited on speeds as I don't have access to full fibre, but we rarely have any issues. There are two of us at home. We both are online throughout the day and evening, often carry out video calls simultaneously (we both work from home), and very rarely have any issues or downtime. We did have to invest in a couple of boosters as we have very thick concrete walls in our 1930s property but sorted this ourselves very easily with cheap second-hand Google mesh boosters. Whenever we've spoken to a customer service rep, they've been very helpful and polite.

I signed up to plus net at the beginning of July via the transfer of my account to a new provider. Here I am, 7 weeks later, and 6 cancellations of the order which Plus net cant explain, still waiting. So far I have been told twice the problem (a transfer via Open Reach - also a BT Co as is Plus Net) has been fixed, and most recently that my existing provider has refused the transfer (Plus net havent made contact with them to date), and I have just been given my 7th transfer date. I have asked on my calls to Plus net to speak to a manger 3 times. Each time I have been told no one is available, my complaints haven't been logged or even elevated, and on the last call, the call handler left the line open in exasperation and I heard the manager saying he wasn't prepared to speak to a complainant. They are a shambles and are either incompetent or cannot tell the truth. Do yourself a favour and go elsewhere.... anywhere bar a BT Company

Service is so poor. Called to register a fault which then puts you through to a text service. The text service states that my mobile isn't associated with my account which it is. You then call them back and go through to customer services only to be sold at to take out a new line. The only reason I went with Plusnet is for the service but how wrong could I be.

I need to write this review. I joined Plusnet last year with 300 package and after my experiences with two other mainstream broadband suppliers, I have to admit I didn't expect much difference. Plusnet has been fantastic, in both speed and reliability. I'm a disabled person, so I don't go out very much, and so I'm a very heavy gamer. I need the best broadband for my small amount of money. Speed is only good if connection doesn't drop. Plusnet has given me both speed and reliability. I'm fully confident going into an extreme trial and raid knowing my net won't spark out seconds before my DPS damage burst is about to pop. I wake up knowing the light on my Hub 2 will be pretty and blue. So why do I need to write this review if it's all good? All of these reviews talking about poor customer service. A serious family issue hit and the butterfly effect took place. I lost my net through my own fault. I called Plusnet and explained about the issue at hand. Oh my stars. The people I spoke to, from Sandro (I hope I spelled his name right) to the kind lady and the mint bloke yesterday. Plusnet seemed to do an Avengers Assemble team up thing and got me a new account. They gave me a whole new account and the start date was scheduled 13th of June. However, the man I spoke to yesterday pushed it forwards and here I am. Plusnet customer service was kind, thoughtful, and helpful in so many ways. Not only with net, but some very good advice for the issue at hand. I'm so grateful to them. Thank you, Plusnet. Your customer service was Grade A.

Absolutely terrible experience- I cannot believe I opted to use them despite the poor reviews online. Fair enough to wait two weeks for fibre installation but nearly two weeks after router was hooked up I still can’t connect. Service team very friendly but wholly impotent to sort out the problem of activation and all blame laid squarely at the feet of BT Wholesale. I call them every day only to get the message that they are waiting for their supply chain to activate my account. Hopeless to share that as my contract is with Plusnet and I really expected more. It’s embarrassing they can’t control the supply chain. Do not under any circumstances be fooled by the friendly call team as they have no authority to make it happen. Dreadful.

As an IT professional heavily reliant on network connectivity for work, I depend on Plusnet's services, especially now with childcare responsibilities. Recently, their marketing team persuaded me to upgrade to their fibre network promising higher speeds. However, after the upgrade, I'm not experiencing the advertised speeds. Despite contacting their technical support, I was informed that the limitations of my area prevent them from delivering the promised speeds. It's frustrating because Plusnet shouldn't be making promises about fibre technology and network speeds if they can't guarantee them. It feels like they're deceiving customers with false assurances. Despite their 16-month promise of speed upgrades, there hasn't been any improvement.

I'm not happy with the service and fixing issues...I've been with this company for 2 years but whenever I really need Internet there was a problem and takes days to fix..

BEWARE! DO NOT USE! Plusnet are like Delboy, crossed with the Chuckle Brothers and Mr Bean! Everything they touch is a mess, there new name is PLUSMESS!!!! My family have been with Plusnet since they launched many years ago, since DAY ONE! We were one of the first customers and WERE avid fans! We used to love them, There customer service has gone down hill, it's now awful, a total MESS and we are thankful to have left. They have a UK call centre, but everything they do is full of problems and errors. Imagine Mr Bean on the phone with an attitude, that is there average call handler. They are just candid and rude. Everytime we moved house in past 8 years, they messed it up somehow, everything they touch is a MESS!! I dont want them anywhere near my internet connection Thank you very much. This time around we were moving house in 2024 and yet again, they messed it up, even though i carefully went through everything in fine detail with the Plusnet agent. They ended up delaying my internet being installed in my new house, as they didnt process the request properly... ofcourse, so i just paid to leave the contract as cant stand this ridiculous mess anymore. I would call them PLUSMESS as everything they touch goes to mess, like the CHUCKLE BROTHERS or MR BEAN. When they install the internet they should say ''To me, to you, to me, to you'', like the chuckle brothers did with carrying a ladder. Its an embarassment. My internet even went down in my old address, and when i logged it, they ended up not even logging that properly. Literally EVERYTHING THEY TOUCH is a TOTAL MESS!!! Stay away!! Its just ridiculous, they are PLUS at messing stuff up.... An indian call centre would actually be better. I suggest they fire EVERY CALL CENTRE MANAGER in the Uk and start again, because i can foresee this company going bankrupt. People are NOT happy, and I was there biggest fan, well.... not anymore!
