I suggest you alter the word you use containing the asterisks.

Your post in general reflects how you feel, but the mods if they see that (they call it "filter avoidance") won't edit it out. They near always delete the whole post. Which would upset you!

Point taken about their version of unlimited��.If you are of a mind to lash out 40 quid a month and have usenet downloads take 37 hours and are happy with it then so be it. I am used to the ADSL24 way of paying my money and getting the service! Not the Coms plc way

Please remember that they promised (and still do) to equal or better ADSL24 and ADSL24 customer�s contacts would be honored? Now apparently I have not read page 407 sub paragraphs 87 that entitle them to do what they want they want. (or wherever they hid it wink

Fact remains if I pay a lot of money for a service is it do much to expect it to be delivered and suitable correspondance it received and replied prior to the act of capping being carried out?

Sorry to me this is a breach of contract

FIFA still sucks but I'm not going to support with this anymore. I've got my MAC code so I'm out, not going to pay £40 odd a month to a company that promises one thing and does another all while not letting the customer know until they complain about said issue.

Plusnet, Zen or Xilo guys?

Plusnet. True unlimited. No throttling. Gaming and VOIP prioritised.

As of 5:30, back to lag spikes making Titanfall nearly unplayable. Torrents also throttled to <150kbps, this is getting beyond a joke now, what's the next solution, ban p2p completely?

Thanks, I was leaning towards Plusnet Unlimited Fibre. It's half what I'm currently paying too so that's a bonus

Only problem is you get stuck on BT with their IP Profiling

I was looking at Xilo. Exactly same package as im on now (TT LLU, 100gb usage, 8-8pm peak and weekend offpeak). That for me would be the same as truely unlimited as wouldnt use that much

BT Wholesale IP Profile on FTTC is 0.9679 of sync and adjusts immediately the sync changes.

Plusnet sets its own copy of that within a few hours, rounded down to the 10th of a Mbps below. E.g. IP Profile 63.47Mbps >> Plusnet Current line speed 63.4Mbps.

The Plusnet copying is known to fail occasionally and cause a problem if the adjustment was upwards. Support can reset it. Phone calls at the moment seem to take a while - the new call centre doesn't seem to be fully up to speed yet. There's also a current debate on about the absolute maximum speed test result on PN FTTC maybe being about 74Mbps instead of the 76/77Mbps seen on some other ISPs.

So it isn't all good, but the online support and real-life product experience are.

Sky and TalkTalk don't have any IP Profiling, but I don't think they resell those. Sky 80/20 is £10pm more than PN.
