Problem started yesterday. Could not connect to some sites including google, now tv and moneysavingexpert. Other sites fine. Tried with firefox and Opera. Got error code 4 and DNS could not be found message. Switched router off and on to repair. Same problem today only affecting mse, some pages on forum. Tried using tablet pc with the same result.
Not sure if relevant. Over recent months mse has seemed sluggish between pages and the tablet I tried in the last few days has been unused and not connected for months. Could connecting this have changed something?
Cleared history files and deleted mse bookmark. Windows XP sp3

Hi bumbershoot,
Your issue may have been related to the service status thread here: http://usertools.plus.net/status/archive/1468840394.htm
This should be resolved now but do let us know if you're still having problems.

Problems AGAIN. 80% of sites time out instead of connecting. Santander, Swiftcover, Royal Mail, SSE, Wikipedia, Yahoo, Freecycle, Derbyshire BS, Photobucket. All unuseable.
This is ridiculous. After wasting a stupid amount of time trying to figure out what was wrong with plusnet because plusnet didn't think to tell its customers they had a problem and days of a useless connection there are more problems. We deserve compensation for this failure.

I'm having this issue as well, can't get on about 80% of sites, time outs or DNS related errors.

If I didn't have a year left on my contract I'd be out of here like a shot. It's not even cheap shoddy service.

Yep, same problem with me, and it's not the first time in recent times. This must be the 3rd or 4th time this month that i have had troubles with Plusnet.
I can't get onto Wikipedia, Youtube, Outlook, BBC iPlayer and many others aren't loading.
I can't even connect to my Xbox One, and the Xbox website is running very slow.

Seems everything is now up and running as normal for me as well. Hopefully it'll stay that way.

I also had intermittent problems this morning then no internet connection at all. Now all seems ok and the sites that were loading like treacle are fine. Hopefully this one is fixed for good.
