In reply to a post by vimto_girl:
Plusnet have already removed their claims of 'totally unlimited' which may have been relevant to suggestions of misleading.


I wonder if this was also behind the removal of the link to Current Line speed.
Some idiot went into panic mode.

So again there is no real time difference. You never seem happy about any speed you get.

Users get what they get. If it starts high but drops off by a HUGE amount then fair enough they are entitled to query and complain but for those that bleat on and on about a small drop from their theoretical max then most people will have no sympathy.

I wasn't bleating on about it,

But giving this little known about fact some exposure, Because i think it's important ,and feel that the IP should have to disclose the effects of it's own IP profile in its adverts but it advertised headine speeds of up to 76mbps even tough it did not have the 10% of customers able to achieve that speed only 1% according to a which report

I'm pretty sure most users don't give a stuff that they get 73.5mbps instead of 76mbps.

I think they removed the claims because of an investigation by the ASA. So it just means Plusnet probably should haven't been advertising 'totally unlimited' broadband, rather than the products have changed or are about to change.

In reply to a post by adslmax:
PN will set as 63.8 Mb (probably 63.7 Mb)


Well updated:
Phone exchange:
CRAWLEY
Estimated line speed:
57Mb (Download speed could vary depending on line conditions. Estimates are the maximum speeds that your phone line can support. These speeds are dependent on the package you choose.) - Checked on 2015-06-17 11:32:59
Current line speed:
63.8 Mb


Did speedtest when noticed but no change

anyway so I killed PPP session and reconnected, rerun test and throughput increased accordingly!

Except many plusnet customers won't ever get 75mbps due to their traffic shaping and secondary IP profile being set at a lower value than BTW's
Are they still advertising upto 76mbps ? In which case that is misleading according to the info in the image you posted, Because most connections are likely to have G.inp applied as BTOR installed more G.inp compatible Huawei hardware than ECI across the uk so any isp having 10% of it's FTTC subscriber base getting the advertised max speed of 76mbps are incorrect
