No Internet & NO Internet light on router Thursday 19th April 4pm

No Internet & NO Internet light on router Thursday 19th April

15:55 here, now using 3G emergency backup Dongle.

I lost my PN Internet @ 15:51 exactly !


This on Plusnet tweet, so PN are aware of it. @ 16:03
Hi all, looks like we've just had a lot of connections drop, we're investigating now. Please keep an eye on http://bit.ly/uPf9Tv, thanks ^MT

All 0800 numbers engaged, including PN Status on 0800 917 6714

When I try to use the PlusNet Internet, this is what I get...


As I say, I'm on dongle at the moment.

Re: No Internet & NO Internet light on router

You ain't alone pluscom, I've been getting disconnected several times over the last 72 hours including roughly when you lost yours.
I need a new signature... i'm bored of the old one!

The last time I lost it, a few days ago, PN stated line was OK.
I think it was a local BT problem, only lasted 5 minutes though.
It's obviously a much larger PlusNet problem at the moment.
I've re-booted my router just to be sure
I do love my emergency backup 3G T-Mobile (free) dongle at times like this, how are you connecting ? Dongle too ?

Latest Plusnet tweets, for those not on Twitter, website or phone updates.
Tweets also coming through to my phone, I really must switch on my twitter phone more often, 22 tweets just arrived, including the latest updates

We have been using Twitter for updates on the outage.
We're aware that quite a few of you are having problems reconnecting, we'll update on here as soon as we can. Sorry Sad ^CP
Would also like to add that nearly everyone whose connection has gone down is calling us right now so phone system is also very busy ^MT

Really sorry, we're suffering a partial network outage, engineers investigating. Updates on http://bit.ly/uPf9Tv on the way as I type. ^MT

[quote=http://usertools.plus.net/status/archive/1334849045.htm]Broadband network outage (71130) - NEW
Broadband
Posted on: Thursday 19 April 2012, 16:24
At approximately 4.00pm BT Wholesale suffered an unexpected network outage that disconnected a significant number of our broadband customers.
Whilst most customers should be able to get back online now, some will need to reboot their modem or router in order to re-establish a connection. Also, some customers may notice that they are redirected to BT Wholesale landing pages, in the event of this happening please power down your equipment for 20 minutes before attempting to reconnect.
If this doesn't work, then we suggest you try forcing a connection via the configuration pages for your router.
Due to this outage, the network may be out of balance. However if we do need to perform any intrusive balancing at all we will make a further announcement.
In the meantime we'll leave this particular thread open and we'll provide another update later today.
Apologies for the inconvenience,
Kind regards,
Adam Walker

Re: No Internet & NO Internet light on router Thursday 19th April 4pm

Well I'm back on and have been since making my first post in this thread.
I'm not convinced though, I have a feeling this is router #6 that this phone line has fried. BT did some tinkering with the physical hardware at PNs request - despite it being a computerised renumbering of our phone line. Since then we got through 5 routers pretty quickly. PN refuse to have BT look at it and BT don't deal with PN issues so I'm getting pretty fed up now.
PN also don't like to acknowledge my complaints over the matter either.

As suggested in PlusNet email, this worked

If this doesn't work, then we suggest you try forcing a connection via the configuration pages for your router.




Just look what's happened to my Speed, after the one hour (for me) outage.
Normally 16.6mb/s


Outage time not wasted...

Re: Fault

After doing some more checking I lost mine around 1540. According to PN's graphs the first chunk of users went down around 1545.
