Spamming the forum with identical postings in several sections will not impress the mods...
Your first thread is in the right place...

Mods are just fellow customers. And I imagine the online forums team might have gone home by now.

We haven't. I was liaising with the mods over which thread to comment on, as posting over multiple threads can confuse things a little bit.
It looks like the fault has been raised now with an ERT of 28/09/15 23:59:59.
Hopefully it's the sooner side of that.

Re: Broadband working, phone dead no dial tone please fix

Anyone know how to set up free call divert?  I managed to get through to a voice at plusnet  who didn't have much to say other than theres a fault.
Next question - what would happen in an emergency ( ie need to dial 999 ) or if someone needed to get in touch? 
how can you access 1571?
why arent plusnet saying anything about the problem - wheres the updates?

Yes switch to using BT for your phone who offer this service. Plusnet do not.

Call divert - to help if you can't receive incoming calls
If a fault on our network stops you receiving incoming calls totally, we'll divert them for you. The cost of any diverted calls will also be credited to your bill after the fault is fixed.

Re: Broadband working, phone dead no dial tone please fix

End of the third day and still nothing, will there be a fix on Day four?
and to top it all my broadband speed/reliablility has dropped .
Tried to watch something on my Roku box,  via Iplayer, and now TV but it says no internet connection - web browsing on a P.C also slows to a complete crawl at times

Looks like automation has already addressed this issue and you're speeds should be back up around 9.3 down (10.6 Sync)
