Re: Plusnet is going downhill lately

In reply to a post by kwikbreaks:
I'm guessing that offering unlimited ADSL2+ at £2.50 a month is the reason there is a smaller proportion of FTTC now..

For a long time BT priced their unlimited ADSL2+ at £26, a ludicrous price which seemed to exist so that they could say "hey, why not go VDSL2 instead, same price!".

Thankfully eventually BT backtracked on that nonsense and dropped ADSL2+ to £16, but obviously the price differentials are going to discourage VDSL2 take-up.

It's just odd because our results have been steadily increasing each month, as you expect as more people pick up fibre. I'm not aware of any event or problem which would break that trend in the last month. It feels like an error somewhere to me :/

Takes me about a day per ISP to be happy with our analysis and do things like exclude data centre testing

I can do a simple ISP chart in about 10 minutes
