We moved our phone line to the Post Office, works our cheaper than BT.

So to be clear on the plusnet traffic management system - say if i got 8mbps they wouldnt ever throttle that to slower speeds if i downloaded alot like some ISPs do? Instead they just prioritize what data uses that 8mbps?

correct

See Oldjim . As long as you are on the "Unlimited" product.

In fact, the slower your connection speed the greater the benefit Plusnet's system brings you.

So would you then recommend Plusnet over Sky or Sky over plusnet, as I keep on reading problems with both, like speed issues and such?

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

TT 40 meg is £12.50, unlimited usage, TM free. Line rental is mandatory of course.

c.f. EE 40 Meg is £20 and EE 80 Meg is £30

If I thought Sky was a better place to be than Plusnet, that's where I'd be . Seeing as 11 months into my minimum term I jumped at the chance to upgrade from 250GB to Unlimited at my existing price, having to restart the 18 month term, I think I demonstrate happiness.

I was previously on FTTC at IDNet for a year. No regrets at all about moving to Plusnet.

Sky is £10pm more expensive? Takes your phone to LLU as well which can be a nuisance when wanting to move to any other supplier.

I don't keep much of an eye on Sky, but watch Plusnet closely. I'm not aware of any speed issues on Plusnet, certainly not systemic ones, so I'm not sure you aren't being misled by genuine problems with specific lines between premises and the exchange. There are some of those, for any ISP.

Thanks for that, will put my PN order in the morning, I've never had any O2 problems so hopefully all will be well with PN, just waiting for future prices on fibre to come down.

And has traffic management?

Yes, some that don't bother me - P2P & newsgroups are throttled during peak.
