We recognise that SSL/TLS is something customers want us to implement. As I think has been mentioned before though, the work isn't as trivial as some may think and it needs prioritising alongside other deliverables.
The Community will be some of the first to know once we've something to share...

OR
There's a major security breach and they have to implement it in a real hurry - that's the normal Plusnet way.

If you can't publish a date, at least give us a list of the deliverables that sit above this in the priority list. That way we can tick them off in eager anticipation. Who knows, maybe the user base might have something to say about that list? Feedback is a gift, and all that.

Priorities change, and the telecommunications industry is fairly fast moving as I'm sure most who post here understand.
I could give you a date (and I'd have a fair amount of faith in it), but should that date slip, I wouldn't want to be held accountable.
I've made that mistake before and I'd rather share news once we've something more tangible

Thanks for your continued attention to this. I used to work in Telecoms and still work in IT and you're right, priorities change. But one thing that doesn't (well, shouldn't) change is the relative priority of customer security, and compliance with market, regulatory and industry expectations in this area. Take this from today's Guardian:
http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2014/sep/29/londoners-wi-fi-security-herod-clause
Ignore the bits about stupid Londoners giving away rights to their first born and focus on this:
"In Westminster, 33 devices connected to the hotspot, with researchers startled to find that the popular POP3 email protocol revealed passwords in plain text when used over Wi-Fi."
33 PlusNet customers, then? 'Cos they don't have a choice.
It needs to be near the top of the list, don't you think? Please feed this back into the PN management machine.
Thanks,
Tony

We're all aware of the implications and we are still committed to delivering.
I know everyone's been waiting an age for this, and we've made a few false promises in the past.
If you can hold out and be patient for just a while longer though, then you never know, Santa might just show up with an early Christmas present.
