And working back from the IP Profile, that's a 24Mbps connection smile.

My broadband basic info/help site - www.robertos.me.uk | Domains,website and mail hosting - Tsohost.
Connection - Plusnet UnLim Fibre (FTTC). Sync ~ 55.8/14.5Mbps @ 600m. - BQM

It's very odd the way Plusnet explain it here: http://www.plus.net/support/broadband/speed_guide/sp... "Your broadband will always try to connect at the highest possible speed available on your telephone line, which is why we refer to our broadband services as 'Up to' a certain speed."

And then they say: "ADSL2+ offers speeds up to 16Mb"

I know, it's mad, they are not even allowed to tell the truth any more!

And to compound the problem they also say here http://www.plus.net/support/broadband/speed_guide/ad... "ADSL2+ is type of broadband supplied over BTs '21CN' network. It offers download speeds 'up to' 16Mb."

Perhaps in the FAQ they could have explained the speed potentials a little more thoroughly?

In reply to a post by kasg:
one of Ofcom's daftest rulings ever and has been discussed here at great length.

A lot gets discussed here (at length). Have to admit the previous discussions wrt Plus.Net, Ofcom, or ASA slipped by me. Glad to have it clarified

Still feel I get value for money so can ignore the buffoon (suggesting PN second rate). PN may not be perfect, all the time, for everyone, but has generally kept me happy.
