Right, slight update on this thread.

I ordered Plusnet's services a few weeks ago!

Activation date was a week ago today, and i should have received my free router and hardware bundle to enable me to setup my connection a week ago too.

Anyway, my connection has been active a week, however i am still yet to receive my router and hardware bundle.

The first was supposedly lost in a warehouse mixup, following a number of phone calls, i was promised a second one would be sent out first class and be with me yesterday, unfortunately, yesterday has been and gone, as has today, and i am still without any hardware, and connection-less.

Needless to say, i will be on the blower to Plusnet AGAIN tonight :rolleyes:
