Hello,
I would like to introduce a new regular blog. It is about things we’ve found online which we think may make your life a little bit easier or just put a smile on your face. We are interested to hear about your experiences of using these apps and services. This makes for good chat, will help us better understand what you find useful on the web, and therefore design better products and services in the future. More…
It’s been a while since we last blogged about an increase in central capacity on our Up to 8Mbps 20CN network, I think the last time was way back in November of last year.
Since then we’ve revamped our products, have officially launched ‘Up to 20Mbps’ and been busy in the background moving customers across to BT Wholesale’s 21CN network. Because of this, we’ve focussed more on making sure we’ve enough bandwidth to cope with the increased numbers on the 21CN platform. It’s for this reason that you might have seen one of the many announcements recently about us increasing the capacity on our 21CN host links.
Well, if you haven’t got ADSL2+ in your area (you can check here), then you needn’t worry as we’ve not forgotten about you – oh no siree! More…
“I’m Checking In”
FourSquare is a mobile application that is getting a lot of buzz at the moment. The basic premise of the service is to use the application to ‘check in’ when you are at restaurants / pubs / shops etc and share this information with your friends Facebook / Twitter. The application is clever as it looks up where you are using the technology in your Smartphone (GPS / Wi-Fi triangulation) and will give you a list of nearby locations to choose from. Once you have ‘checked in’ to a location you can see who else has visited there recently and be pushed location specific offers. More…
Bonjour mes amis, welcome to another end of week. Seems such a long time since I’ve done one of these, but I can’t be bothered to look back when the last one was as it’s hometime now and the final series of Lost starts tonight so I want to get home. More…
Eeeeeeeeh, it’s been a week since I last wrote one of these.. More…
No-one yet knows what it’s going to be called*. A lot of people think they know what it’s going to look like though bit.ly/apple-tablet-mockup. Media interest in tablets / slates / whatever-you-want-to-call-them is running high in the run up to tomorrow’s Apple media event at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Fransico. More…
Hello!
It’s been long tiring five days lots of work done (the fruits of which i hope you’ll see next week) and I’m absolutely shattered. Don’t worry, it won’t stop me completing the final task before the weekend! Here’s another brief peek into the internal goings on here at Plusnet Towers. More…
Good evening from a thawed-out Manchester (and from being in Sheffield yesterday, the streets of brown Slush Puppy are once again back to being Tarmac as well). The weather has been so glorious in Manchester today More…
Just a few days ago we heard of the demise of the Tiscali brand, after TalkTalk finally killed it off. Trouble is, there are still plenty of people stuck on Tiscali packages and TalkTalk is increasing the prices of their packages by £5 a month if they don’t take a TalkTalk phone line. More…
Why hello my internet friends!

Phone lines to Plusnet’s sales team suddenly got busier this afternoon when Martin Lewis made an appearance on BBC Radio 2’s Jeremy Vine show.
