If not, please cease this FUD.

That something similar to FUP?

Fair Usage Denial?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FUD

Whilst some f the comments are perhaps becoming somewhat speculative on the point, I read them as being more "buyer beware" i.e. check under what terms any "free" month is being offered, rather than any attempt to spread FUD.

I'd have thought if anyones proficient at FUD its plusnets own marketting department bringing it upon themselves?

"I'd have thought if anyones proficient at FUD its plusnets own marketting department"

You mean like:

"Dwat that wascawwy scwewy wabbit. I'm vewy vewy angwy becwause der wabbit has Wimewire. Any wast wequests before I send you to Awcatwaz, Mr Wabbit?"

I'll get me coat...

this is just the kick in the goolies that PN did not need, they were improving in my eyes and now all that work, if BT are going to buy them out is wasted

Maybe they have been getting their act together to make themselves more attractive to a potential purchaser.

This is odd. Plusnet constantly deny that I am on an LLU.
yet rather oddly every time they have problems with the LLU, lo and behold, I have problems.

Ive logged calls with them and they have denied everything, saying I dont have a problem, ignoring screendumps of netmonitoring, pingtimes etc.

I look on the status, and guess what - LLU problems.

Is there any way at all I can find out if Im on an LLU?
I can still use the BT speedtester at the exchange, is that an indicator either way?

Do you mean that you can remove your plus.net account settings and correctly log in using the BT Speedtest login account settings?

i.e.

Configuring your ADSL modem / router

Before we can access the BT speed test server, you must first change the login details you have set in your ADSL modem/router. This will usually be something like [email protected] or @plus.net. If you are not familiar with this info I suggest you make a written note of the login username and password you currently have set so you can re-enter it after the test is completed.

Access your ADSL modem/routers set-up or configuration page containing the ISP login details and replace your current login with speedtest@speedtest_domain and leave the password field blank (BT require no password for the connection). If your modem/router does not allow you to leave the password blank, you should use 'testing' for the password. Next restart or power cycle your router so it reconnects using the BT speedtest login. From this point on you will have no access to normal websites or email as the BT speedtest login can only be used to perform the speed test.

If you can log onto the BT speedtester (using their details and not your Plusnet ones) then AFAIK you are still on a BT connection and not LLU.
