[Wolves] plusnet adsl connection problem?

[Kevin Adams]

Hi All

I know there are plenty of plusnet connected users on the list so I'm 
curious if anyone with a plusnet ADSL (particularly home worker) 
account has been having problems connecting since yesterday evening?

This is a typical experience for me & must be the third big outage this 
year - kind of makes a nonesense of the claimed over 99% uptime!  The 
problem began yesterday evening so I finished work early (which isn't 
so bad ;-)  Not being able to work properly again this morning is a 
massive inconvenience (I'm on dial up now with the extra slap in the 
face of paying dial up costs!)

I find it doubly offensive that whenever I view the plusnet forums 
during these outages I'm informed at how few users will be affected by 
the problem & that I should be able to "connect again within 15 
minutes"!   This can continue for several hours!

Of course there may be problems at the exchange which is why I'm keen 
to hear from other plusnet subcribers - if you're connected?

Following on from this I've noticed that there are also at least two 
subscribers to the list who work for ISP's.  Could you let me know if 
you have a genuine ADSL uptime that is better than the one I seem to be 
getting from plusnet please.  It really is time I moved my account.

cheers
