8 things…
A long time ago in a galaxy far, …err, sorry, back in September, we kicked off a little competition to win an iPod, linked in with our first big advertising campaign in t’Big Smoke. For those of you that haven’t yet become completely bored with the ‘London Calling’ blog entry that’s been lingering on here for weeks, you can refresh your memory here.

Following on from the BBC’s Watchdog report last night about Wifi security, we’ve been receiving a number of calls from concerned customers worried that their wireless router is not secure.
Here’s some basic advice and we’ll show you where to get some guidance on how to protect your wireless network.
This is a quick update to the blog published last week about the Postal Strikes currently affecting customers in the UK.
An announcement is due later today but it’s looking like strike action is set to resume tomorrow.
Once again, we’ll be using ParcelForce to deliver hardware during the strike so delays should be avoided.
You can read more about the strikes and what will happen over on the BBC News site.
If any of our plans change, or the strikes are cancelled, we’ll update this blog to let you know.
Why Hello!
I’ve been a little slack in my End Of Week editing duties recently, mostly due to my being away on holiday to Istanbul, but I’m back now and Andy B has quickly jumped on me to get back on the wagon.

Today’s an exciting one for Plusnet, as we’re launching our first up to 20Mb broadband products – Premium and Pro. Over the last few months, together with our many customer volunteers, we’ve trialed the service itself; along with the new ordering and ‘back-end’ processes that go with it.
Our new products offer our customers a greatly increased usage allowance as well as the potential for much higher speeds.
We’re a bit late announcing the news however we lit the final segment of the inventively named ‘Plusnet 14′ on Monday. For those that don’t know, Plusnet 14 is our most recently installed 622Mbps pipe of central capacity.
That’s two whole 622Mbps pipes we’ve lit since July!
Those that have been suffering from the recent peak time speed problems will be pleased to hear that we’re not going to stop there either! We’ve more capacity scheduled to be lit next week too! More…
If you’ve seen the news at all recently then you’ll already know about the postal strikes that are planned for Thursday and Friday this week.
We use Royal Mail to deliver hardware to our customers, so to avoid the chance of delays we’ve decided to switch to ParcelForce while the strikes are in effect. Deliveries won’t need to be signed for so it should be business as usual.

Hello Readers!
It’s the end of another working week here in Plusnet Towers, a little later than planned and I’m now on a double brace! I’ve been quite busy and not really had the chance to arrange anyone for today but I promise there’ll be a different editor next week! More…
Hello readers!
Today marks the day that I complete an EOW hat-trick! More…
It may seem odd to write a blog about blogs. Having said that, it might also seem perfectly normal, too.
We’re proud of our blogs and hope you find them both interesting and informative. And we’re very pleased now to have been included in Online IT Degrees’ Top 100 Blogs for the industry.
On Saturday 10th October, the England football team are playing their penultimate qualifier in the Ukraine.
It will be the first time in recent history that an England qualifying match hasn’t been shown live on a ‘normal’ TV channel.
This event and the potential number of people streaming this are going to put pressure across the UK broadband networks. This could cause slower than expected speeds for everybody using the internet, including our customers.
Here at Plusnet we're always trying to use clever open source things to make our lives easier. Sometimes we write our own and make other people's lives easier too!
We sell broadband, phone, VoIP and more to homes and businesses in the UK. Winner of 9 out of 11 Categories in the 2008 USwitch survey. Winner of "Best Consumer ISP" at 2008 ISPA awards. Voted number 1 in the Broadband Choices 2008 survey.
