Please explain what a difference of 3% will do to a user who is watching catchup tv, browsing the web, uploading photos to "the Cloud", downloading an update, etc.

it's important because they are throttling/slowing down customers maximum throughput potential without disclosing this fact at point of sale, & even on the web site, Other ISP's manage without doing this

Banging on about it in these forums just makes you look like someone with a bee in their bonnet.

If you think it really matters, the two places to say anything are the ASA and Ofcom. Only they can do anything about it.

Anywhere like this you achieve nothing and become a nuisance crank.

If i thought there was any chance of either of those 2 doing anything i would of already done that,

Plusnet have already removed their claims of 'totally unlimited' which may have been relevant to suggestions of misleading. There is potential I suppose for any difference to reflect in the 'up to' speed claims, if the ASA ever hold an ISP to the CAP/BCAP help note.

I hadn't noticed, so thanks.

However, having been an strong recommender of Plusnet for about three years I have completely changed my position. Which is why (a) why I left, and (b) do not keep bang up-to-date .

They are still relevant for large numbers of people of course. Many of those may visit these forums and take note, but most of those that post asking for an opinion are looking for better.

source for this please?

All I see from Plusnet end was:

Unlimited usage

Unlimited broadband with no monthly usage limit - letting you browse and download around the clock.
