- OT : Plusnet is broken
- Posted by Tx2 on June 8th, 2004
Seems Plusnet's news server news.plus.net has gone tits up.
I'm sitting here on a 512k ADSL connection and haven't received any
articles for at least an hour having posted two in approx an hour and a
half time span.
Anyone else got issues? I can't seem to raise Plusnet via Contact Us
either, and have an outstanding ticket on their system which hasn't been
looked at since approx midday today ....

everything that there is.
Using direct Giganews feed here by the way.

Why not?
OP stated "Seems Plusnet's news server news.plus.net has gone tits up.
Anyone else got issues?"
You replied with "I haven't received any for a while either "
I replied with my opinion for both of you. I fail to see what the hassle is.

Because replying to the appropriate post makes it easier to keep track and
also makes it easier for people to read in the future when the thread is
finished.
I don't have an issue with my servers - it is very unlikely that the
Giganews servers are failing to provide a newsfeed, so I was pointing out
that there may in fact be no problem. I didn't ask if anyone had issues.
Your post was a reply to the OP.
Replies in odd places make it difficult to read the thread, though I can
understand your reasoning if my post was slightly unclear as to its meaning,
so let that be an end to the matter

news.plus.net is a DNS alias for usenet.plus.net, so there'll be no
difference to you.

See their home page 'service status' they've been having problems recently,
although mine has been ok for last couple of days.

Hi,
As far as I know there were no problems with the usenet platform
yesterday. Looking at the graphs there was interuption in service or
unusual loss/drop in the volume of posts being accepted.
It might be worth trying the beta usenet platform at beta.usenet.plus.net
if the problem persists and compare the results.

Apart from the usual delay and breaks when downloading either headers or
posts. Possibly even worse today.
