Sorry - was true at the time.

Complaining and scaremongering.

So... Manually changing the DNS servers and saving - then restarting the Hub 2 -  doesn't change the default router DNS servers! Why not? (Because Plusnet configuration overrides settings?)

The DNS server setting on the Hub 2 changes the DNS servers that are supplied to LAN DHCP clients when they obtain a lease such that they now bypass the router DNS. It does not change the DNS server that the router obtains via its PPPoE connection.

Err... Isn't that what this board is supposed to be for? Reporting and sorting issues for PN users?

Or have I got this wrong all along, it's really just a Happy Monday Club (for board Superusers)?

It is indeed certainly for raising and discussing real issues, but not for complaining for the sake of complaining which is how it appears some posts are being perceived by several members of the community.  Add to that scare stories about things being "down" when they are not, is not overly helpful.
