A couple of questions to PlusNet please:
Unfortunately stuck on ADSL Max (Market 1 exchange). Current line speed is around 2.5meg, No ADSL2+ and no info at all on future Fibre.
Getting a good deal on a market 1 exchange is impossible when compare to an ADSL2+ LLU exchange.
Is it still true that if I wanted a slightly higher upload from 448Kbps to 832Kbps an extra charge of £7 +vat per month still applies? Yet ADSL2+ goes up to 1.3Mbps free of charge or even fibre at huge speeds!

Correct the Max Premium charge still applies on those exchanges where IPStream Max and IPStream Max Premium are the two rate adaptive options.

It just feels so unfair to be penalised for being connected to a slow exchange.

The joy of trying to encourage TalkTalk and Sky to keep rolling out in the safe knowledge they can undercut price wise.

I thought BT IPstream ADSL was being fazed out?

TalkTalk roll outs seem to give the lie to BT's "uneconomic to upgrade" view. For ages they said that about 5 exchanges in this county - all of which suddenly became viable for WBC upgrades when Talk Talk unbundled them over the last 18 months or so

In areas where WBC is available of course.

And they end up on IPStream Connect

Yes indeed, my connection is now IPStream Connect.

Different circumstances - it becomes viable when you're faced with the alternative of losing customers. The investment appraisal without a competing operator struggles for any claim to retained income / extra income / avoidance of losses.

What difference does having TalkTalk and Sky roll out to an exchange? It does not stop it being Market 1.

What difference does having TalkTalk and Sky roll out to an exchange? It does not stop it being Market 1. The continuance of the Market 1 designation aims to encourage LLU operators such as Sky and TalkTalk to unbundle these exchanges. BT Wholesale's prices remain high despite the exchange being unbundled, so the LLU operators know they can undercut these expensive prices until the exchange is recategorised.

The difference will become apparent once the next Ofcom(??) exchange review takes place (early next year I believe) - the exchange will be regraded Market 2 or 3 depending on the suppliers it now has.

The difference will become apparent once the next Ofcom(??) exchange review takes place (early next year I believe) - the exchange will be regraded Market 2 or 3 depending on the suppliers it now has. The proposed 2014 Market designations only have two tiers relating to Openreach lines - A and B. Paragraph 1.5 of the consultation summary gives the descriptions.

When a LLU operator moved into the exchange that serves me two years ago, I was immediately able to secure a reduction from Plusnet.

How did you do that?

@brightd -if you are out of any minimum term, just phone Plusnet Customer Options team - I negotiated this June on the basis that Sky had unbundled my Market 1 exchange and got 50% off of unlimited b/band for 12 months -I'll do exactly the same next June ,with the added advantage that TalkTalk are in process of unbundling as well!!

Those two IPStream are to be retired from BT in Feb 2014.
