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.
BT Infinity
ROUTER:-Netgear WNDR37AV

Attainable 94040D 34659U
Sync 79999D 20000U

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.

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.

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

There are currently no known capacity problems on your exchange. There may still be an exchange problem, however BT are not currently reporting that they are aware of it. Please contact Support if you are having speed problems, who can advise further.

Sorry if it's already been mentioned/asked but have you checked your exchange for contention? You can do that here: usertools.plus.net/exchanges/
