No i'm not on phone LLU only broadband. I have re-done the test and it does alllow you to not select the phone.

What happend is I used the postcode because I did not want to use my number, as I have had sales calls from doing that with others. But I have seen many people say, that postcodes are not the best way or always reliable.

So thats why.

Navigate from the Blue "Just want BB?" halfway down the PN Fibre page, http://www.plus.net/fibre-broadband/ , and you end up with no line rental at the cost of a £50 one-off installation fee.

I seem to remember Roberto repeatedly mentioned this but it seems to passed over your head.

It was a problem using the postcode as I said to Jim. This is the direct link I used and was given by roberto I think. http://www.plus.net/fibre-broadband/broadband/.

I see roberto has not been on for a few days.
Still waiting for an answer to my question.

Well, if you pretend you don't have a BTw phone line, you can hardly expect that taking an order for an ADSL BB that needs a BTw line, would not include a phone line automatically. Otherwise it would be impossible to fulfil the order. Remember this was for an order not just a quote.

Hi folks. I would like if some of you on Plusnets Extra Fibre could download a legal torrent file in the link below. Then please tell me what speed your getting. This is so I can see some real world tests on how much plusnets traffic management limits P2P on it's network. Different times of the day and night if you could please.

Unfortunately conflicting information about and this is the only way, so I can decide who to go with. Here is a snap shot I did at 5PM today with my current isp. That is very good for me as for the speed I get.

See this snapshot http://i50.tinypic.com/2wmgbvl.jpg

Link http://ocremix.org/torrents/ Please download the first torrent, or one that is well seeded.


Let it run for a while as it takes time to build up speed.

As per PM here some tests

Before 8PM

Between 8-10PM 1

8-10PM 2

Speedtest to show internet speed (on a 70meg sync)

As you see after 8PM its not full speed but it is faster than the 2Mb limit they supposadly have hope this helps you a bit more in your decision

Your three links preceding the last one all go to a google login screen.

Thanks for the tests. I couldn't view them snapshots with IE8 so had to use opera.

The 8PM2.png is the better one as it's 4 minutes later and where you have let the torrent run for a while. It takes time to gain speed. It is slower at that time but still good considering PN throttle between 8-10pm.

The 6PM test seems to be OK at 4 MB/s but I would of thought you would get faster on fibre. You do have two simultaneous torrent downloads which could hinder it but for fibre, that should not be a major problem.

I note that the upload speed is not very good, so a bit disappointing there.

If that were around the speed I would get or hopefully higher with PN, then I would say, that would be acceptable.

I did 2 purposely to show it maxing out the connection more or less, as for upload i think that's just official Linux torrents never take much upload in my experience. my uploads about 17meg with 15 through put the one thing i find odd is although my download is much better with plus net than my other FTTC provider the upload is slower but that's not a big deal on ADSL you only get 1-2.5 max anyway so even at 15-17 its a major improvement lol.

Right some screen grabs of P2P tests as i'm now with PN. I have put the incorrect worded 20/40 20/80 but am correct. It should be 80/20 and 40meg download. I am going to group the links together for each one. Time and date is on them all except the very first one but have typed it on the screen grab.

The highest I managed to get while I was on the 40meg download, was at 3.8 MB/s. That is even higher than what I have managed to achieve on 80/20 at about, 3.5 MB/s last night. While not bad I do feel it is a little low. What do you think? Should I not be getting higher, say 5 or 6MB/s?

I can confirm that between the hours of 8-10pm, that P2P it is throttled back to around 200 kb/s, which is about 2meg. 100kb/s = about 1meg. So 2 meg is correct. See screen grab.

Upload speed most of the time is quite poor. Don't think I�m the only one but if you upload after 12am, should be better. I was surprised to see about 1.1 MB/s upload. That was two simultaneous uploads together. Doubt very much you will see uploads of that speed during the day. See upload screen grabs only.

Not too great at 6pm. About the same as from 8-10pm


80/20 Fiber Extra.
