This is the 2nd time in as many months and exactly the same problem, a chamber monkey that needs retraining, snail mail is now a lot better

maybe you should look at getting a sim free contract they do a few that allow tethering so your phone can be used as a hotspot without needing a secondary gadget (I know this because my kids do it with theirs)....

Thanks for that, but I'm a bit long in the tooth for those type on antics, even my "kid" (41) is less techy than I am

good news

the only problem I've had with plusnet in the last 3 years has been down to the contractors open retch use unplugging my line although fortunately its only happened twice and the last time was fixed in 12 hours after I emailed bob pullen about it ....

now the new service agreement between plusnet and bt seems to be to give us poorer service although i'm reticent to switch suppliers given just how good value for money the internet package is, the nearest comparible package for me would cost 3 times as much from BT ..... so I put up with the average fault taking a week to fix.....
