Both are accurate but the first one is less confusing.
The second one would be referring to midnight as 00:00:00 whereas the first midnight is 23:59:59

Hi @bluewalkie
I understand, I'm not too fond of how our automated system outlines your activation date too!
Your services will be going live on 09/06/2021 (today), but as this process can take up until midnight to complete, it tells you that you're going live tomorrow - as of midnight, if that makes sense!.
So basically, if you wake up tomorrow and you're not live, let us know, and we'll be able to query this with Openreach.

Just looking for some verification as to the correct date.
That is the difference between a colloquial understanding and a correct precise time.
Colloquially "midnight" is believed to be the end of the day, but the next 00:00 is always "tomorrow". The end of "today" is 23:59:59.9999 which is not quite midnight. So in precise terms, "midnight" is always that the start of the day.
We have requested on a multitude of occasions that these email communications do not use confusing references to time, but state more clearly "up to 10th June 2021 00:00" which I think everyone would understand without ambiguity.

Hi @bluewalkie
Thanks for reaching out again. I've run some tests on the line and have a feeling that this is an authentication issue, this is quite common, and can occur when the router is switched on prior to the broadband being active. Please follow the steps outlined below to see if you can get it working.
1. Connect a device to your Plusnet Hub Zero router, open up a web browser and in the URL field, enter 192.168.1.254
2. You should now be on your Plusnet Hub Zero settings page. Navigate to Basic settings, enter the admin password if prompted, this is found on your router.
3. Ensure that the correct credentials have been entered, your account username would be accountusername@plusdsl.net, and the password would be the one that you use to log into your online Member Centre.
4. Click Connect, and you should now be good to go.
Please feel free to reach out if you continue to experience problems.

Might a factory reset tidy things up automatically?

Factory resets often reboot the router into setup mode anyway, so the end user can avoid this and try to manually authenticate instead. If any further issues arise, we'd ask them to do a factory reset.
