Problems using plus.net portal and webmail

[#1]

In the last hour, it has become impossible to connect to plusnet webmail or the plusnet members portal and until now, it has not been possible to connect to this forum.  Nothing showing in the System Status and nothing on the system status hotline.  massive queues on plusnet support phone line though

Yep , also being discussed here https://community.plus.net/t5/Email/POP3-from-all-my-mailboxes-has-stopped-working/m-p/1362528 as email users spotted issues earlier. Does seem more wide spread now.
