How do you know the difference between a 40/10 and 40/2 product when PlusNet headline just two fibre speeds (from what I can see), ie the 76Mb or 38Mb fibre on their sales webpage?

It seems like you don't - I just had a browse around their website, following quite a few of the links, and nowhere were upload speeds mentioned for either package. Not good, Plusnet.

Fibre Broadband

� Fibre broadband speed is described as 'up to' because your actual download speeds will vary. We'll give you the best download speed available on your line, with up to 76Mb download speed and 19Mb upload speeds on Unlimited Fibre Extra, and up to 38Mb download speed and 1.9Mb upload speeds on Unlimited Fibre.

I moved to Plusnet from BT a couple of weeks ago. FTTC 80/20.

Speeds are faster both upload and download, Pings faster too, 7ms on Ookla to nearby London servers.

Averaging circa 150GB a week useage up/down since the switch.

Mixture of WEB VOIP P2P Netflix/Amazon Video etc

Very happy with the switch smile

I use NowTv & Amazon Prime Video with the max demand being around 3.5Mbps. Regardless of such a good download speed, do you find streaming always steady ie no buffering or reductions in bit rate even at peak times?

Thanks RobertoS.

So by that I assume the two fibre packages Plusnet do are either 80/20 or 40/2 ?

I suppose the 38Mbps one should still perform well regardless of the large ratio difference? I Don't use P2P or use Cloud Storage and only now and then some games on Steam upload saves.

Yes it's good we have no issues.

Generally 3 PCs online, streamimg/gaming , plus Amazon Prime/Netflix through a Fire TV box, no issues.

We're less than 50m from cabinet and can see the Telephone Exchange from the house so that helps smile
