Have you spoken to the retentions team at BT and advised them that you're thinking of leaving?

The might well be able to give you an incentive to stay.

Good! I will have a try.
Do you think that I should chat or ring them?

they (talktalk) are not into any kind of traffic shaping at all, Plusnet are though, I was with plusnet and was driven mad by it. now my downloads are at full speed day or night.

Support though is all through foreign call centres which is a pain.

Just call and advise you're thinking on cancelling and have seen company A and B can do the same speed for £xx a month. Worth a shot!

You will probably find although you are not taking a phone service to PlusNet you will still have to pay line rental to BT.

Good.
Two years ago I was living in London, the landlord put TallkTalk fibre. Their router was a nightmare, but was using the Openreach box.
Regardless the current TalkTalk router quality, does it still use the Openreach box?

EDIT:
That's what Talktalk says for my line
Download Speed: 59Mb to 80Mb
59 is too low, or maybe it's how their estimate works?

Sorry, what do you mean with this? Line rental with a provider an fiber with another?!?

Yes, that's exactly what I do, FTTC with Plusnet and Line Rental with Pulse8; works out cheaper even with the extra £2.50 to Plusnet.

That must have been a very long time ago, I have never had any issues with it.

I recommend Pulse8broadband for the line rental. (That link normally opens on the Business line tab, so click the Home one if it does). I used that for a while when on Plusnet

Sorry, what do you mean with this? Line rental with a provider an fiber with another?!?

Yes. You have to have line rental from someone, as I showed you with the quote from the £22.49 product.

I'm on my sixth ISP and my line rental has always been with BT until the middle of last year - never with my ISP. P8 call charges are laughably low as well.

What do you mean Pulse8 isn't worth it for the price? £44pm including line? The service itself is well spoken of, and the CS is good. Plusnet CS isn't wonderful.

No. Any Openreach WLR3 supplier, of which there are many.

Hi, Not quite a correct comparison, I think. With the £27.49, you've not added the line charge: that would make it £2.51 cheaper - surely (22.49+5+17.99).
