Complaining and scaremongering.

Superusers are not staff, but they do have a direct line of communication into the business in order to raise issues, concerns and feedback from the community.

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)?
