Getting full speeds from Plusnet at home (37/18.7). Seems slower with BT (0.35/0.00). Perhaps I shouldn't compare fibre in Hamsphire with ADSL in west of Scotland and blame the ISP?

Horrendous issues in the evening with my PN connection at 67Mbps. Their network cannot handle the capacity and dont want to do much to increase it, regardless of what they say.

I would pay the small amount extra and stick with Sky Fibre Pro, which is what i will be doing.

Plusnet are cheap for a reason.

It would help if you told him where this is, since the majority of the PN network is fine.

Yes, they are heavily subsidised by big sister BT.

Just upgraded from Plusnet Adsl+2 ( 20 meg ) to plusnet 76mb (getting 62-63mb was told by plusnet 54mb ) speed fast and using Usenet at the moment no slow down day or night ( live near Pontefract in West Yorkshire )

I live very close to my exchange. Currently with Sky Unlimited 17mb LLU. Router syncs at 23mb and speed is over 20mb with download speeds of 20mb most of the time.
What sort of speeds can I expect with the Plusnet 76mb Fiber better than I am currently getting or worse ? . Also my son downloads movies and streams a lot ,are these traffic shaped ?

Wouldn't recommend Plusnet as I struggle in the evenings to stream, game or most things really... and been this way for some time, I'm based in West Sussex.

I would either go for BT or Sky Pro or even Zen if thats an option for you..

Personally I wouldn't even go for BT but between them and Plusnet, BT seem better.

As you say your currently a Sky customer, it might be easier and you will get a good deal if you where to take Sky's Fibre Pro...

Also in West Sussex and no problems at all, but West Sussex is a pretty big place.

No problems in north east Hampshire (Farnborough / aldershot area) either.

I stream Netflix a lot.
