My Plusnet broadband is down again.

Been trying to connect since about 1845hrs. Just keep getting "connection has timed out" messages.
Anyone else having the same problem? I'm on the South coast.

We've become aware of an issue causing authentication errors when trying to connect to the Internet.
This problem may also be causing customers to see BT Wholesale holding pages instead of the websites they are attempting to view.

Re: My Plusnet broadband is down again.

Hacking me off completely. This on top of the problems I'm already having. At least I know the staff are aware of the issue. I just hope it's fixed quickly. I can't get any pages and trying to use this forum via mobile is awful.

Mine's down as well. Checked my router settings and there seems to be a problem with it picking up DNS servers (it's only got a primary one and it's completely different to what it is usually). Attached what my troubleshooter says, would I be part of this problem?

My fibre has also been down since around 18:30. So frustrating. Can't get through on the phone either

Re: My Plusnet broadband is down again.

First thing I tried was changing my dns servers; it didn't make any difference.

Re: My Plusnet broadband is down again.

I think you are all stuck in the BT part of the network and whatever is bust isn't forwarding things on to plusnet so I doubt much of anything will help until they can fix it.

Yeah, I found out how to manually change them (the technicolor router supplied doesn't make it easy) back to what it was before these issues and it didn't do anything.

Re: My Plusnet broadband is down again.

The DNS server errors in the router are probably a red herring, we're looking into the root cause.

Re: My Plusnet broadband is down again.

Yup, very annoyed that Plusnet's service has broken down again. I had some stuff I wanted to do/print off for a trip over the weekend but I guess I'll have to assume that that's not going to be possible now. Instead, I have to use the data allowance on my mobile phone to moan on here.

Really sorry all, we're doing all we can to get this resolve and get people back online.
