Thinking of moving to Plusnet from o2, but....

[link to this post]

I'm thinking about moving to Plusnet from o2 in order to avoid Sky. Although the Plusnet site says it is available at my number and postcode, I don't see it listed in in Samknows in the list of LLU operators. Listed there are AOL, o2/BE, C&W, Sky, TalkTalk & Tiscali. I have a BT line and pay line rental and calls to BT and prefer to keep it that way.

Does Plusnet come something else?

PN is not an LLU operator. It resells BT Wholesale platforms.

If you have 21CN WBC enabled at your exchange you'll get ADSL2+; otherwise ADSL Max.
