Plusnet Updating payment system ?
« on: June 23, 2018, 05:27:34 PM »

Quote from JonoH "We're upgrading our payment software over the next few days, and unfortunately that means that some older internet browsers will no longer be able to access our website."

a thread here https://community.plus.net/t5/Plusnet-Feedback/Older-Browsers-No-Longer-Able-To-Access-Plusnet-Site/m-p/1547277#U1547277

Question ?  if they upgrading payment system and it affects your browser should this not be in a more prominent page ?

I don't imagine it will affect very many users. The update is blocking very old browser versions that don't support newer version of TLS (1.1 and above I believe).

The 4th post sums it up perfect

This is a no win situation for Plusnet

1) Upgrade the software and get complaints

or

2) don't upgrade and still get complaints.

Hey ho.

What other info would you like?

between

To give some actual detail.

PCI-DSS requires SSL and early TLS (TLS 1.0) to be gone by 30th June.

Old versions of IE especially don't support anything over TLS 1.0. Basically any version of IE on XP.

Chrome/Firefox are generally fine due to the auto updating they've had built in for years.

and

Quote
Below are the browser versions that support TLS 1.1 and above, taken from https://help.fasthosts.co.uk/app/answers/detail/a_id/2999/~/tls-1.0-browser-compatibility

Browser Version
Google Chrome 26 and above.
Mozilla Firefox 34 and above.
Microsoft Internet Explorer 7.8 and above.
Microsoft Edge 12 and above.
Apple Safari 8.9 and above.
Opera Browser 20 and above.

the thread covered everything relevant.

The guy doing the upgrade is named Bill, he's 44 with 2 kids.
