Also consider how many unused minutes you throw away each month on your mobile. Unless you are on PAYG. Nearly all my outgoing calls are on that.

I have some decent speeds on the package I have, but apparently I cannot go any higher. I do not know what my IP profile is, and I have an ECI modem, so cannot mod it.....although I do have my Fritz7390 I can attach soon.

Hope this helps.

Brilliant, thanks .

That's almost certainly end-to-end TalkTalk Business then. (Until it reaches the Beeb of course). Not TalkTalk tails handing over to a third-party backhaul network such as Daisy. Some TTB resellers just use the TalkTalk exchange MSAN then follow a non-TalkTalk path from thereon.

I noted yesterday when reading that vivaciti thread those guys rated ttb good also. Looks promising if you still considering pulse8.

If Roberto does jump it will be very interesting to hear his comments of Pulse8. Certainly high on my list when my Plusnet contract expires.

I haven't had any problems with Plusnet personally: the 40/20 contract just matches my needs, much better pings than on Infinity, and much more regular Thinkbroadband (and other) speed tests, especially at peak times. However, all the recent pointers are pointing the wrong way (just like Nildram before I left them and BE before I left them).

Lost me there. Any chance of a link to the thread please, it doesn't ring a bell.

TT Business has a good reputation. Has had for years.

My short list is Pulse8 80/20 unlimited and AAISP Home::1 80/20 100GB.

Pulse8 works out about the same cost as Plusnet now I have ditched my BT Consumer line rental. Move to Pulse8 for that scheduled for 28 July.

Just a point worth making, if your landline is really only for the broadband, or at least you don't use it enough to need Anytime, Plusnet LRS even at the current price is not worth having. Pay the extra £2.50 for not having PN line if you are on the latest product that imposes that - mine doesn't. I signed for it before they imposed that premium, and you still end up quids in.

Something I have not had for years .... and don't laugh .... Such low latency as I now have along with a good line. i am happy, but took a lot of forum stick for my choice initially.

Thought a one off, but holding at any time of day.
Only just noticed your tracert request - Better late than never I suppose!

The latency is your linked speed tests is reporting incorrectly... I've had this issue on a couple of occasions with a Sky ADSL connection and also my Plusnet FTTC connection...
