What's the "taste" or lack of on AAISP's website got to do with an edited-by-you version of it that you post on this forum, (where you know the rules), in relation to Plusnet?

Sorry Rob, answering that would only require me to re-construct my deleted post, so let's just let that rest. If you missed what I wrote, then that's unfortunate (or maybe fortunate, depending what side of the fence you wish to position yourself). As for "knowing the rules", you're right. But hear me out...

I frequently see words in The Times that are banned here. It doesn't bother me in the slightest. I don't use those words here, and most of them extremely rarely in real life. There's no need.

I'm not an avid Times reader so remain uncertain as to your underlying point here. In terms of using such words in every day life and on here, I don't. In the context of this moderated (deleted) post, they were being flamboyantly quoted with asterisks (*) for most of the letters, leaving enough information for the reader to deduce what they were. Apparently this is circumvention of the censorship controls (news to me). And as I have already said, I note this rule for any future posts I make.

You also probably know that the mods never edit posts here except for such things as removing the posters' phone numbers and IP addresses. And that normally only when it is too late for the poster to do so.

You're presumption is wrong. I wasn't aware of that. You see, out of the 700 odd posts I've made here since I joined 9 years ago, this has been the first to be aggressively moderated (complete deletion). First time for everything eh? But I'll keep this mind, as per my previous post, that any attempt to circumvent the censorship control (even just one or two words out of a post of several lines, two words in my case) results in the entire post being erased - that's clearly the way mods work around here. I have a one word reply to that: noted.

Nor do they object to you editing the deleted post, including the "Deleted" in the header, to restore an acceptable version.

Wasn't aware of that either, but having just tried this, the edit time has now expired. Game over!

Thanks for your constructive reply anyway.

Is the grass greener?

Maybe not greener but just the same shade, maybe!

I was with IDNET for ADSL then FTTC from initial launch. No real issues and consistent speeds.

Recently moved to the BT Infinity product and you really can't tell I have changed provider. Speed and quality of connection are identical. The only change has been my IP address and cost.

The only gain being unlimited usage now.

O2 Standard LLU (up to 8Mbps as my line maxed out in the mid-6000s), >> IDNet Starter Fibre >> Plusnet Value Fibre. Gains with Plusnet 40GB in peak, unlimited off-peak, £16.49pm, instead of 15/45 at £25.52, or £23.30pm if paying the full year up front which I did.

Losses, the download speed doesn't seen quite as consistent but only noticed it occasionally, and the upload is only 2Mbps giving speed test of 1668kbps as against IDNet 10Mbps giving around 8300kbps. Also a true dynamic IP address instead of the IDNet fixed - but the only way that affects me is that I can't run a tbb BQM. Ah - the IDNet BQM was a consistent 13ms, and by cheating I have run the BQM on PN and it is 15ms.

Pings reported at these figures from speedtest.net as well.
