Very good. Enjoy 👍

Well I have been doing some speedtests at peak times, 8-10pm, and no slow downs. According to fast.com I am getting on average 1gbit down 110 mbps up and Ookla 930 down 107 up. So I am happy.

You need updated under your sig with speedtest result from TTB

Done.

Done.

That's pretty good speed from Plusnet FTTP. Enjoy it. Mine still on G.fast 160/30 still waiting for FTTP (might not be ready until end of 2026) https://www.thinkbroadband.com/speedtest/17579766595...

I am surprised you stayed with AA for so long with the prices they charge. I thought that Plusnet did up to 900Mb/s, not 1Gb.
If you are trying to cut costs, then why did you go for such a high speed, do you really need it?

I also thought AA was reliable, they should be for the prices they charge.

I hope you are happy with your new broadband service, Plusnet did me fine for 9 years.

do you really need it?

Why do you keep asking this? you told everyone that you and virtually everyone else didn't need anything more than FTTC speeds then when you went to Zzoomm you chose a 500Mbps package which seems very hypocritical.

Why don't you stick to your decisions and allow others to stick to theirs.

There shouldn't actually be a need to reboot the ONT as this is all 'above its station' in life (read its all transparent to the ONT).

I've never, ever had to reboot an Openreach ONT for what its worth despite changing FTTP providers several times over the last six or so years.

I had thought that as my router was connected at 1Gbit but a post on PN community said it was wise to reboot ONT. You live and learn I will know for next time.

Pheasent and the others are correct. You need to release the stale pppoe connection but not the pon connection. That means either dropping the connection in the router's webpage or a reboot or a new router with the correct creds.

Trying to save people money. Those that don't have an alt network near them, normally pay a fair bit more just for going up in speed, the difference in price between 145 and 900 is a tenner, may not seem a lot, but it adds up, even when they do the price will increase in March next year and again in March the year after, it is still around a tenner a month saved.

I choose a 500Mb/s package because it was cheaper than the lowest speed at the time, the reason why I did not go back to 200 is because the price difference was only £2 a month, what will happen next year I don't know, depends on if they give me another offer.

If i went onto a Openreach based FTTP service, then I would no doubt have gone for something in the 74Mb/s, depending on price. I said it before and I will say it again, I don't really need the super duper speed, but I will admit the 500Mb/s did come in handy when redoing the PC and downloading my games, but if I was still on FTTC, I would just leave it go over night.
