Plusnet and Usenet

Do Plusnet throttle Usenet?

Reason I ask, I think I will be let out of my contract early with BT infinity as they are oversubscribed in my area with no resolution.

If it's exchange contention I don't think moving to Plusnet is guaranteed to make a difference.

I would of thought the congestion is BT retail side of things?

and Wholesale is uncontended?

I agree. It doesn't look like "exchange contention".

BT Wholesale does not run its network without contention, so a chance changing provider may make no difference.

lockyatlrg what speed are you getting on usenet with BT?

I tested it the other day and got 2KBps - on BT obviously.

If at any time you get a significantly slower speed on usenet than you do on a speed test moving to Plusnet Unlimited would be beneficial.

Off peak Usenet is the Full 75mbit

on peak what ever everything else is running at, sub 10mbit.

This was last nights speed, right now it's 20mbit.

My speeds are fine, but torrents are throttled unless I use a VPN.
