Useful 'heads up' thanks. I changed mine 2 or 3 years ago after being greeted on a web page I'd not previously visited with my PlusNet username. My rdns hasn't changed and is still my IP (my original manual change). I can't see why it was ever thought to be a good idea to give out account username information like this.

In reply to a post by jelv:
Alert: If you are on a static IP and you had requested that Plusnet change the reverse DNS from the standard username.plus.com to something else it is highly likely it has reverted.

Thanks I raised a ticket yesterday when I noticed. Shame it went to account ID rather than just using a hostname based on the IP (e.g. xx-xx-xx-xx.plus.net)

Edit - looks like my custom rDNS is restored, looking at http://ipchicken.com/
