At this time of year we use our broadband more than ever. When shopping or staying in touch with friends and family we know how frustrating it can be to have connection problems.
To help make sure your connection stays working when you need it most, we've launched Plusnet Assist. It's completely free to download and designed to solve most common connection problems in the home and get you back online fast!
To celebrate the festive season with Plusnet Assist, we're offering a fabulous MSI laptop worth over £450 to one lucky winner.
MSI's CR640 stood up to the competition in the latest laptop group test by 'Which? Magazine'. Competing with 10 other notebooks, the CR640 took home the top BEST BUY award 2011.
•  Genuine Windows® 7 Home Premium
•  The latest 2nd generation Intel® Core™ i3 Processor
•  15.6 LCD monitor
•  4GB RAM memory
•  320GB hard-disk storage
How to enter
Simply download Plusnet Assist and install it on your PC or laptop to qualify for entry. One lucky prize winner will be selected at random from those who have installed Plusnet Assist. Competition closes on 17th January.
Plusnet Assist is now available for free download for Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7.
- Sorry, but Plusnet Assist won't work on Apple OS or Linux computers.
If you're already using Plusnet Assist or can't install it you can still take part by completing a short survey. Please read the Prize Draw Terms and Conditions for more details.
I filled in the questionnaire and I will probably be barred from the draw on the grounds that I was totally negative and unhelpful  Roll_eyes Roll_eyes

Re: Waiting for a lot more complaints about Plusnet Assist

Plusnet Assist may not be suited for you Jim, but that doesn't mean that it's not useful for a large number of customers.
I'd be surprised if you saw a large increase in complaints given that we've been emailing customers about this for the last few weeks.

Your comments will be picked up and entered in the same way as everyone elses, I'm a bit disappointed you think we'd bar someone from a competition for giving negative feedback.

Re: Waiting for a lot more complaints about Plusnet Assist

Ah, now I see I'm not alone.  PN Assist then will be a disappointment for quite a few customers who do not use IE & it seemed so neat & handy. 
So PN, why was IE now a minority browser according to user surveys I've read, used in the first place?

You don't need to download/install it at all - you can complete the user survey and still be entered.
