Gateway checker needs updating

Sorry, the tool currently could not identify your gateway; this does not mean that anything is wrong with your connection.

Tracert out:

Thanks.
The gateway tool itself is OK. To fix this problem Plusnet need to change the rDNS entry for 84.92.3.217 from vl308.ptw-gw01.plus.net to the appropriate gateway/aggregator designation.

Delayed response but I've given one of our engineers a nudge about this.

I had the same on ptw-gw03.
I also had cr*p pings, so I hopped (onto a ptn) no problem now.

Re: Gateway checker needs updating

rDNS for that host should be sorted now:
>nslookup 84.92.3.217
Server:  pbs-intdns01.plus.net
Address:  84.93.219.251
Name:    gi11-1-321.ptw-ag03.plus.net
Address:  84.92.3.217
