Not quite as pretty, but not as bad as the BQM would suggest. (You can correlate the time for the next 23+ hours). I've never tried gateway hopping and don't want to.

Connection - Plusnet UnLim Fibre (FTTC). Sync ~ 541/15.2Mbps @ 600m. - BQM

The BQM doesn't lie though, and the one in your sig is reporting regular jumps from 20 ms to 60 ms at peak times. It doesn't tell the full story though, as throughput issues are reported regularly too.

The thread on this started almost two months ago and has had hundreds of posts from members giving feedback. Today they said "it's true that we don't know what the exact cause is yet".

I think this would be cause for concern for potential customers.

Thanks. Not looking good and I think I'm starting to regreat yet frown Latency is my big priority at peak times and if they don't fix the problem I think I won't be able to play online again. Maybe I should have took the 12 months free broadband with O2 and stick with what it works well for me frown

Do they have any periods where I could cancel?

7. You may cancel your agreement for Plusnet Fibre by contacting us at any time up until the fibre service start date. However, you will be liable to pay for any work that we have started or done to install any equipment.

Thanks, I guess that the only way to cancel will be to ring them right? Or maybe I can do it on the open ticket?

I really wanted to see what an 80/20 connection is capable of and maybe to get fastpath if lucky enough. Also, hosting a game server if possible would have been cool smile
