they dont i rang up and ask them they only do 60
That's probabaly the estimated download speed you would get. When I was on Sky's 80/20 package at my last place I was getting 72 down. I'm still waiting for the switch to the 80/20 package at my new place but Sky estimated around 58 down.

got to wait until 31st of march for cab 73 to be done
From what he been telling me his ping have gone sky high, so playing games is almost impossible and he have constant disconnections.
My line has been in sync for 51 days now, and I get 15ms first hop ping. a world of difference compared to my experience on ADSL.

Only going by what I been told. another mate phoned me this morning, he had Plusnet fibre installed this morning and the reason he phoned me was because he was stumped with setting up wireless. As he was on the phone he was having a problem with his connection as well.
i am starting to think i did make the right choice of avoiding fibre.
By all accounts looking at his facebook status a hour ago it seems to be working now, I know he was going to phone plusnet up, so maybe they sorted it,.
the computer he was using at the time is wired.
i will text him tomorrow to see if he got the wireless key sorted, if not I will sort it out on Sunday.

Sky Fibre Pro is 80/20 but you have to phone them to order it.

If like me you have to transfer large quantities of data backwards and forwards for work the faster the better. It also helps when working and competing against a couple of kids uploading and downloading stuff, my old 12 Mbit ADSL connection just didn't cut it.

Plusnet on one of their packages will take you as fast as it is possible, at the time it was a 250Gb limit, but I think that have changed to unlimited.
Not that I would go with plusnet myself if I can help it,

i can understand if you have a family and lot of devices, that is one of the reason why two people I know have gone for fibre, one of them want the faster upload more than anything. But some people are saying that want all this speed and yet they will do nothing more with it then just playing silly flash based games and browsing facebook.
The reason why I did not wait for FTTC was because I did not require 40Mb/s, but I did want something that was more reliable than ADSL,
the problem was not with my ISP or the network, in fact using Cable and wireless was a good choice, far better than Bt network, but still not reliable enough because of the length of my line.
so when I found out that allpay reached my area and that they also offered a 5Mb/s service for less than what I was paying for a ADSL service of 4, i jumped at it and it also meant I could get rid of my phone line.
Sure i am paying a bit more now because I updated to 10, but to be honest I don't need it, so next year I will be going back to 5.
I got until June 2015 until my contract runs out, so I got until then to decide what to do after. It depends on situation at that time I suppose. i don't normally take contract that are so long, the last one was my mobile phone, but I thought what the hell.
i think now that most of Hereford have got fibre, Allpay may have to change their prices, but to be honest they did not set up the service for people like me, they set it up for people outside the city who got poor broadband and have little chance of anything better.
Saying that I do have problems now and again, yesterday morning I was trying to find out some info and my computer would not connect, coming up with limited service, but it is few and far between.
We will have to see what happens in the future.

The default wireless key for PlusNet's fibre router is on the label on the bottom of it.
