Current DNS Issues?

Does anybody know if there are any current Plusnet issues? My mobile devices cannot connect to Wifi and I cannot access a fair few sites. This site says there are no issues (probably a lie) nd when I call Plusnet they're that busy I cannot even queue, it just hangs up.

 

Cheers

Mobile devices (which?) not connecting to Wi-Fi is not a DNS issue. Which sites are you having problems connecting to? - on what devices?

If there was a wide issue, there would be more than just you complaining.
