What do they cap the upload speed at?

They keep saying removing the default cap is in the pipeline. The other end must be in Egypt.

It's not an issue though. Removed within hours of request.

My broadband basic info/help site - www.robertos.me.uk | Domains,site and mail hosting - Tsohost.
Connection - Plusnet UnLim Fibre (FTTC). Sync ~ 59.4/14.4Mbps @ 600m. - BQM

So why cap upload if you can request it to be taken off for free?

It's a hangover from some early ADSL2+ trialling before Plusnet released the product. Some users reported uncapped upload adversely affected the download speed.

A problem yet to be observed by anyone since who gets it uncapped. Accepted by all the Plusnet reps on this forum that it should be removed, but they aren't the decision-makers here. As I said, apparently "It's in the development pipeline".

If that's handled like their user ticket system, it means any "bump" of it sends it to the bottom of the queue wink.

Ah

If i move away from ADSL24 thinking of going with Plusnet. Dunno how they manage to offer unlimited at such a low price (even for broadband only), compared to most other ISPs that have either download limits or heavy traffic shaping/line management

I expect they have a decent "quantity discount" from BT Openreach and Wholesale. Although pricing has to be the same by Ofcom regulation, that doesn't so far as I know rule out structured price lists as in any B2B deal.

They clearly now have over 670k customers and had a minimum of 650k online over the last 24 hours. I accept most of those will be sleeping, but the modems/routers are up.

Even Sky doesn't seem to be able to compete - the 80/20 unlimited FTTC is £30. Is TT cheaper I wonder?

BT Retail I reckon are possibly now the biggest rip-off merchants in consumer broadband. Shear public ignorance of the alternatives, plus fear. Even I haven't yet managed to take my phone elsewhere because of fear.
