I still think there may be something wrong the other end.

But why is there no problem using EE4G network?

...Different IP address range? Same reason people can get in via a VPN.

So, are you saying that NS&I are only accepting access requests to their secure login page from selected IP ranges and PN are using a different IP range? Sorry if I'm being naïve/stupid etc.
If the above is what you're saying could be the problem, who's in the right and wrong here? Is this some kind of Mexican stand off with PN customers in the firing line?

Sorry @marktewk, MTR is is the Linux equivalent of Microsoft's tracert - i.e. the route over the myriad servers it takes.

@pvmb the login seems to be redirecting through a queueing site.

as far as I can make out secure.nsand.com does not respond to ping, so in this case mtr (my trace route) will not be of any use for anyone for tracing a route.

Fair enough @Dan_the_Van - but my mtr in post #77 goes so far, and the hits something which is clearly not a valid server address?

Valid point, @Dan_the_Van - but we both get bocked on the mtr at that point, although the tracert nearly completes. Just that the '.zip' extension there looked very strange to me. However, this is my last post on this topic, although I do think the issue is somwhere close to the NS&I site.

I think we've established there is a problem and there's no work around for the the users so what can we do ?
NS&I have respnded with a quote from their book of standard replies and Plusnet comments are noticeably absent .

This thread is now very long with many opinion's of it's cause
From what I see there are two issues
1) https://secure.nsandi.com no longer works for ANY internet user; the correct link now is https://www.nsandi.com/Login
2) A number of plusnet users dependant on network range can not login to their NS&I using https://www.nsandi.com/Login
To bypass this plusnet network issue would be to use a VPN or a mobile data hotspot.
This thread was started Wednesday 10th with no resolution which is very poor who ever is responsible for the fix

"as far as I can make out secure.nsand.com does not respond to ping, so in this case mtr (my trace route) will not be of any use for anyone for tracing a route."
Yes, correct and people using ping, mtr, traceroute to secure.nsandi.com won't get conclusive results.
However proshipping.royalmail.com is on the same network as secure.nsandi.com and DOES respond to ping so can be used for such tests.
There's clearly a fault in a router that these sites connect through (loss of BGP routes to certain ranges) and started exactly at 00:00 on 9th July. Until the ultimate correct entity and person responsible for that equipment can be notified, it's not going to get fixed outside of any further routine maintenance which would be of an indefinite timeframe.
