I'm sure that if we ever had any evidence of our Traffic Management putting off a significant number of people from signing up, our Sales and Marketing team would be queuing up at my desk to tell me to turn it off

There is nothing wrong with traffic management on my fibre. I can download and watching streaming. No problem with it.

It depends how much market research they have done, I suppose. They never asked me.

I would say that the vast majority of UK DSL connections are not traffic managed

That is the nub of the argument. The Plusnet claim is that their prioritisation system for time-critical traffic is a beneficial USP.

whether that means most people prefer not to have traffic management is open to interpretation.

I would warrant that the over-whelming majority of your "vast majority" would have to google "traffic management" if the words were put in front of them. Unless they simply thought it was some new vehicle control scheme.

The main factors these days in the choice of mainstream ISP are price; word-of-mouth for and against; whether the monthly allowance on the cheapest from each is sufficient, or whether they would be better on unlimited; sport and TV on-demand plus catchup.

given the state of my performance tonight and my tbb graph's I dont think plusnet will be making pro easier to turn on any time soon
