One of the blogs I regularly read is Graham Jones: Internet Psychologist. I happened to stumble across Graham’s writing after he wrote about a bad experience he’d had with PlusNet in 2006.

You probably already run Anti-Virus and other security tools which prevent threats to your PCs. Kept up-to-date and with regular scanning, these tools provide good protection against most on-line security threats.

However, whether it’s because of cost, apathy, lack of knowledge or all of the above many thousands of our customers don’t have adequate security protection for their PCs and home networks. The consequences of these oversights can range from mildly annoying through to expensive and disastrous. We’re now asking our customers to help us trial one possible solution. More…

Product Refresh time again!

As is custom here at PlusNet, April tends to mean a re-jig of our product set. Last year saw the introduction of Broadband Your Way, and this year we’ve gone for some simple usage tweaks to make the products more attractive in the current market. Yes, I know technically it’s not April anymore, but we almost snuck it out in time. More…

A few weeks ago Ashley Highfield, former Director of Future Media & Technology at the BBC, posted an article called the “Hidden Costs” of Watching TV Online. It makes for an interesting read and is a good starting point for having a debate on this topic. Ashley raised 19 potential ‘actions’ although stressed that these weren’t necessarily his opinion.

Hello everyone,

I’m one of a few people here at PlusNet organising a series of promotional events to raise money for the St. Luke’s Hospice charity. We’re competing against a number of other local companies to see who can raise the most money for this great cause.

So far we’ve raised about £250 in a short space of time by having a “Pay for your lunch” day and a raffle style Grand National event. We’re also looking at doing a number of other promotions including a “Tramathon”, climbing Mount Everest in our very own Gym, a “Play Your Cards Right” game, 5-a-side football tournament and many, many others! I’ll even be holding an internal Killer Pool competition this Thursday

If you have any good ideas of your own of how we can raise some money, then by all means, let us know!

Should you wish to, you can easily donate by going to this secure website:

9 years and 2 months ago I started on a very exciting journey with PlusNet.

I started off as the sole developer, establishing what is now PlusNet’s Workplace solution. Workplace is the software solution which pretty much controls everything within PlusNet. It includes the customer management, product management, billing engine and internal calendaring functionality amongst other things. It also ties together the network and software pieces of the business so we have a single platform - and not multiple systems that don’t talk to each other. More…
