Re: FTTC/P Areas

I wasn't on the phone, but was following the full info and via the FAQ they emailed me.
"Plusnet Extra Fibre 100Mbps Trial � £34.49"
I haven't progressed this yet as I won't stay within the usage allowance. I barely do now on 4meg, so how they expect people to on FTTP to do so (even with the unlimited offpeak) I'll never know!

It is an ISPs right to only offer certain speed points, so if not ready to launch the 100Meg and faster they may well only offer the speeds that match the pricing of the more common FTTC services.

Not even with the new 250GB allowances? I won't ask what you use your connection for.

Well every speedtest should use around 0.5GB on those speeds smile And seen how often some people run them I don't expect allowances to last that long.

I expect those usage allowances have changed. They certainly have on FTTC, which is now 250GB on the top package.

My broadband basic info/help site - www.robertos.me.uk | Domains,website and mail hosting - Tsohost.
Connection - Plusnet Extra Fibre (FTTC). Sync ~ 57.4/14.6Mbps @ 600m. - BQM

2 Sky HD boxes with Anytime, 2 xbox 360s gaming online, Netflix, photo uploading, website management and data backups soon pushes a 100Gb but 250 may just about cover it... May have to re-visit the idea...

And no, I don't torrent...

That lot will hit it hard, and about the only thing you could schedule overnight would be the data backups, which is what I do with mine.

Shame these streaming services don't permit overnight downloads for later viewing.

I stand corrected! smile

Glad you've managed to get FTTP. If you don't torrent BT Retail would be a perfect place to get 100Mbit from; I will be once they make the cab 135 area in exwick live laugh

TBH I probably would take BT's service if they would actually pull their finger out and confirm it's available. They still say it's not...

What does this say:

Try the "Address Checker" (not postcode checker) instead of the phone number checker to see if there is an inconsistency / database error
