My broadband's out (again)

Anyone else in the south of England experiencing a complete broadband outage? Anyone got any idea what is wrong and when it will be fixed? There's no info on Plusnet's "Service Status" page (surprise, surprise).
Note to Plusnet: Erm ... guys, I've got work to do this evening ...

Re: My broadband's out (again)

Given there are over 150 calls waiting at present it sure looks like there is an incident.

I'm in the NorthWest and router stuck on authentication failed so something is a bit broke somewhere ;(

Re: My broadband's out (again)

Nottinghamshire Area here.
Having the same problem. Was working before I left for work at 8am this morning. Ran as many tests as I could and started looking for any info.
Anyone getting this same problem on the test?
Test Results
Test Succeeded DSL
Test Failed ATM
No ATM activity detected on your DSL line.
Test Failed PPP
Your connection is currently down.
Guess I'm just going to have to wait?

Re: My broadband's out (again)

Not just me then.
Still nothing on the Plusnet "Service Status" page. You've got to ask yourself, what's the point in having a Service Status page if you're not going to keep it current.
What a pain in the ....!

mine has been restored as of 10 - 15 mins ago
Edit:


I forgot to add
I had to reinsert my username & password to connect as it defaulted to the tr069 details
ATM the connection is slow, worse than dial up

It hasn't. Still up and down like the proverbial.

Re: My broadband's out (again)

Mine has also been up & down
Throwing up DNS connectivity error messages
I have tried your dns / googles dns & openDNS
Factory reset & still the same
Here are the screenshots to compliment my earlier post

The message I received after I inserted my username / password

After refreshing the page

I have a fairly decent connection atm / will continue to monitor
Can I please have a copy of the radius log to compare with my reboots / factory resets etc
