Well I may buy my own router then but will BT help you if you don't use the hub? Plusnet says they won't support you if your not using their router or something.

This is really hard to choose. BT will save me lot of money but just the traffic management on p2p.

Whatever you do, don't forget Quidco and TopCashBack. (Clear cookies before doing the order run).

The usual advice to to follow the money, choose BT if it saves you. You can always get round the throttling using encryption or VPN, or just be patient. Plug the BT router (or modem) in before calling support - it's always good to have an alternative device to rule out problems anyway.

This one costs less, it's the same model spec isn't it?

Thanks again. Think I can get about 25 quid from TopCashBack. Quido is a bit less clear.

Anyway if anybody has more views on plusnet, BT or the others, please post your experiences. About torrents more so. I'm not changing yet and think openreach is busy at the moment, so may not get installed until new year.

The other way I'm looking at it is, it's free connection but after my contract, I could migrate to a better fibre service and it won't cost me to move.

Fibre to fibre is free but ADSL/LLU to fibre is not.

Yes, I'm thinking that way too. I'm considering Sky in 6 months time but FTTP is on the horizon.

Fibre to fibre migrations are not free. They are chargeable.

Yes. I thought the one I found looked expensive! Now edited my link.

Have yu costed it over the full 18 months? I found peanuts difference when I did that, but the offers were different at the time.
