Plusnet webstats and pop3 mail server probs ?

Sorry for polluting this NG with (yet another) Plusnet issue with no
appropriate response from Support type problem but anyone else
experiencing probs at the mo ?

I reported a problem of webstats not being generated since 08/06/06
yesterday morning, asking the simple question: is there (yet another)
problem with webstat generation ? Ticket waiting time allegedly ~2
hours but no response until this morning. No answer to the direct
question, no announcements in the meantime, just a comment that the
problem has been "escalated" followed later by a comment that "I have
updated your webstats." However, no real surprise that the logfiles
right now are exactly the same as they were on the 8th June

I now also note that there is now a persistent problem with pop3 mail
server timeouts and/or connections being unexpectedly closed

I am therefore experiencing a feeling of much deja vu and all that !
Another PN meltdown in progress and Support ignoring and/or not
letting on or just some weirdo problem with my connection ?

There's deffinitely a problem with POP3 at the present moment, whether
it is down to a melt down (they've had to unplug the server so they
power a fan ;-) ) or whether it's something to do with them moving
theire servers from their old hq to the their new premises is
anybodies guess....

Could well be but finally, after much to-ing and fro-ing, PN have
acknowledged that there is indeed a problem with webstats (log files
on the ftp server) although:

Hmmmmm, now why do I get the distinct impression that this could well
be another very long wait with much frustration and ending in the
usual heated debate - not to mention lost data as there is only 7 day
archive etc. And oh boy, will there be one seriously big row if I
end up getting a B/W exceeded type e-mail because I can't monitor
usage and therefore stop the idiots who keep linking to some of my
files and photos etc. !!
