Thats a good website in that link, not heard of them before but seems good to know if you want to see if your isp traffic shapes

Or is it some software?


Website that uses Java, so bit of both.

I too have noticed the throttling which is unacceptable.

Going to move provider but unsure who can provide a similar service to the old ADSL24 days?

Shortlist is either Zen or Plusnet; comments please?

When I left O2 LLU to get FTTC, I went to IDNet, who have a similarly high reputation to Zen, because I had got so used to the excellent O2 service.

After a year I felt more confident about FTTC and my line, (which had been troublesome on ADSL2+ but was fine on FTTC), and purely on cost grounds moved to Plusnet in February 2012. I haven't regretted it in any way. I felt I was paying a lot for CS that I rarely need, and now I know more about PN I don't think theirs is an issue - despite some scary posts over the last few months.

So Zen if you feel nervous, (incidentally so far as I can see their cheap line rental doesn't apply if you take their broadband), but Plusnet if you feel you can risk the 18-month minimum term.

My broadband basic info/help site - www.robertos.me.uk | Domains,site and mail hosting - Tsohost.
Connection - Plusnet UnLim Fibre (FTTC). Sync ~ 59.4/14.4Mbps @ 600m. - BQM

No there is no improvement I am at a standstill with everything except WWW surfing and Email, torrent is a joke I just tried a small one to see what was happening getting max 10KB download speed, thought I would catch up on some TV from yesterday on the BBC Iplayer and that will neither download a program or run a program to watch, this is really frustrating me now!!

I feel your pain, was the same for me the whole of last week. I just tried a torrent and seem to be restricted to 100kbps.. a little better than yours but still ridiculously low.
