Thanks both. Checked with Plusnet and got a message earlier this morning stating there was an incident in the area yesterday and they hoped to have it fixed by 18:00 today. Just got a follow on message confirming it was now fixed, but I'm still having issues so not sure that's correct. Will give it a while and try again.

I am with Plusnet, and I don't think the actual broadband was down in my area (around North Cross Road) but I am having constant problems over perhaps the last month as my WiFi keeps cutting out. It has done again about an hour ago.


When I spoke to Plusnet when it first happened, they said all was fine at their end and to reset/unplug the router, which I did and this worked, but it keeps happening and it never has before.


It is really annoying as I have to keep unplugging/replugging everything eg printer, resetting stuff on my laptop, etc..


Does anybody else get this? Is it just Plusnet, could it be a faulty router, or is there something amiss with my system somewhere?


I have a WiFi extender in the hall, but it's all been fine until recently.

If it makes you feel better, today I was supposed to have fibre broadband put in between 8am and 1 pm.


My work space overlooks the house front staircase. Apparently the engineers came and no one was in. I had been at my station since 8am waiting for them to arrive.I can see and hear whoever comes.


Speaking to 2 separate BT workers each gave a differently story, after waiting since Sept for this installation it is now not possible until the middle of december because I was not in. Although the house was fully occupied and the internal door bells would wake the dead.


The last person I spoke to at BT said I cannot see anything that confirms how they could not gain entry.that now one was not in when he heard the bells.


I cannot believe anything BT say.

I know Plusnet are owned by BT, but do they use the same external hardware or whatever it is in the junction boxes, etc?


rupert james, that's appalling but doesn't surprise me. Try contacting BT's CEO, that usually brings results!

All BT told me was "I can see an online chat advisor had said there is an active Area issue on the 14/11" and "the external cabinet to be looked at on Thursday 18/11 between 13:00 - 18:00 " but no idea where it is or even if it is now repaired - but my broadband currently works.

Mine seems OK today so far, fingers crossed.

    • You literally just edited your earlier reply to remove the point you made about it being “politicians”.  Then you call me pathetic.    I’m  not trying to say you approve any of the ugly right wing nonsense.  But I AM Saying your earlier post suggesting  violent rhetoric being “left wing” was one-sided and incorrect 
    • I never said that. Saying I don’t like some of the rhetoric coming from the left doesn’t mean I approve of Farage et al saying that Afghans being brought here to protect their lives and thank them for their service means there is an incalculable threat to women.    Anything to score a cheap point. It’s pretty pathetic. 
    • To be fair we are as hosed as the majority of other countries post-Covid. The problem is Labour promised way too much and leant in on the we need change and we will deliver it and it was clear to anyone with a modicum of sense that no change was going to happen quickly and actually taking the reigns may have been a massive poison- chalice. As Labour are finding to their cost - there are no easy answers.  A wealth tax seems straightforward but look how Labour have U-turned on elements of non-dom - why? Because the super rich started leaving the country in their droves and whilst we all may want them to pay more tax they already pay a big chunk already and the government saw there was a problem.
    • You don’t think there are right-wing politicians fanning this with rhetoric? Really?
