    I did do a live chat eventually but even during that they kept trying to get me to phone them and then hanging up. I am currently unwell so don?t want to go anywhere to make phone calls. Their website used to be much better and you could raise an issue which they would log and then get back to you.


    I would advise anyone with Plusnet to go over their bills to check for overcharging. I found overcharging going back to beginning of 2018.

    I?ve made contact with them by email. The signal in my house with a mobile is dire and cuts out. They told me they would get back to me but haven?t. I used to find them helpful but in the last year they have been dire. Consistent overcharging every month, then apologies and blame on a new billing system. Eventually told me I?d have to start over with a new account as they could not fix the overcharging issues. They then tried to charge me an exit fee of more than ?200 when it was their decision. They kept apologising but nothing was sorted. Threats to cut me off because I didn?t pay them money I didn?t owe them. They eventually offered me several months ?free?, as an apology. Prior to that they?d been limiting the broadband and phone use. They set up a second direct debit in my bank account without my permission. It was a very surreal experience. I?ve been with them since 2009.

    Thus is terrible. Has your friend contacted their local MP?

  5. Wondered if anyone else had this problem? I have a landline because the mobile signal in this house is poor. Yesterday the phone started to repeatedly call me and make strange noises. When I picked the phone up there were peculiar noises in the line. Within a few hours there wasn?t any noise at all.


    My WiFi is with same provider and is working. Was wondering if anyone else had same problem. I?m in Oglander Road. I have managed to report it online to Plusnet with great difficulty. They kept telling me to call them.

  6. For baked goods, I can recommend Ole and Steen. They have late opening hours, until 9 or 10 pm. The closest one is in Victoria, or Canary Wharf, depending where you are. They have a great selection of buns, muffins and cakes. They are famous for their Cinnamon Social. There?s another one in the Haymarket and one in Wigmore Street, as well as quite a few others. I?ve also tried and liked some of their rye breads, including a carrot rye, which are moist, chewy and make good toast.
  7. Unfortunately, this doesn?t shock me anymore. I hope these guys, and others like them, get prosecuted. The Rogue Traders programme helps somewhat. It?s nice to see that neighbours look out for each other too.
  8. I have been with them for a long time but have started having constant problems, especially with their billing. They routinely Take the wrong amount out each month via direct debit, and then refuse to give a refund. I?ve now started recalling the direct debits and then have to speak to them each time to sort it out. They apologise each time but then keep doing it. Thinking of leaving but don?t know where to go. Has anyone else had problems with them? Ive looked online and there are quite a few other stories like mine. Plusnet also admitted that it?s not only me that?s been overcharged.
