PlusNet Idle Time Disconnect

Shouldn't the PlusNet "Idle Time Disconnect" for people on the 'Plus' tariff
taken effect by now ?

I've not noticed anything yet ?

It has not been implemented yet. It was just a warning that they may do so
if it is needed.

You need a crystal ball to even begin to guess what Plusnet are doing these
days.

I'm of the opinions posted over on ADSL Guide forums, Plusnet are in deep
trouble, Bankruptcy .. imminent take over? I don't know? but they are in
trouble for sure, their actions can be compared to a drowning man clutching
at straws.

Plusnet had been happily announcing a cap free *cheap* service for ages,
they encouraged existing users to get more on board with referral discounts,
now they have all those extra customers using the bandwidth that was
advertised, they find they cant upgrade the hardware to cope and have
introduced panic measures ... Plusnet shoddy management and bean counters.

The final insult is the *couldn't care less* attitude of their Customer
Support, here and other places on the net, they insult our intelligence with
the usual ambiguous answers that serve only to make people more angry.

As far as I'm concerned, Plusnet have made their bed and they can rot in it.

GOOD RIDDANCE Plusnet.

Bbankruptcy, i doubt it, the companies finances are exttremely healthy in
terms of them being a credit risk. i have seen the proof for myself,
although i do think they need to get their ship in order and perhaps oust
the current Chief Executive Lee Strafford and put someone else in to revive
the business before it really is too late.

Personally I'm very pleased with my 2mb for £14.99 a month!

Without Plusnet competition ADSL prices would not be as low as they are now.
OK it was a mistake to attract the heavy users but they seem to be running
out of places to migrate to which tells its own story. Most of the
migrators seem happy to pay higher prices elsewhere so why the upleasant
complaints? - given some of the words used - including yours - I'd be happy
to see the back of you/these customers.

PlusNet used to attract the "power users" at one time. Their accounts
featured all sorts of techy add-ons, like 70,000 newsgroups, 250MB web
space, cgi servers, dns and mail control panels etc.

Over the last few years, it seems that they are changing their appeal,
offering cheaper and cheaper prices, whilst still providing the
services they always did.

Unfortunately, it seems that their revenue can't pay for everything
they hope to provide, and they want to keep growth by keeping prices
low. Something's got to give.

I've been a regular in PlusNet's internal newsgroup for 5 years. Quite
a few old hands are starting to buckle now, with all the changes of the
last few months. I think they are feeling abandoned and unloved, and
they aren't even heavy users.
