Found this weekend in an old disused wallet, as I took inspiration from it cheesy as it is. One of my favourite reference points when thinking about drive and the need to plough ahead, along with with Gang Starr’s track of the same name. “Just because I want to, don’t mean I will”.

A cheeky, work related post to share some good news:

I posted on PlusNet’s community site about the new look PlusNet that’s on its way. There’s not much else to say until we’ve released the updated site. What I can say is that it’s been a long project for my team, and we’re really proud of the end result.

Answer: PlusNet isn’t going to change its name. It will, however, change the way it looks next month.

In a few weeks we’ll be making some bold changes to the way the PlusNet website looks. It’s not just the layout of the website: after 8 years of faithful service the current PlusNet logo is being retired. In its place, we’ll be launching a new website and with it a new logo.

Why? Over the last year PlusNet has been strengthened, invested in and awarded as the best overall broadband provider in the UK. To build on this, we decided it’s a good time to refresh the website. The new look site will bring our products, the member centre and our beloved Community site together better than before.
