Correct. I also use a override provider and you can't use that on sky. Not sure if plusnet lets you either.

By the time you have messed about moving your phone, it's no cheaper anyway and in most cases, cost more.

Better the devil you know.

Viva not all of them will charge but yes that's what you would have to pay if needed.

Anyway I emailed Merula and asked them about this. Is a small charge but it's better than a ridiculous £100 migration fee.

Quote from email. Removed name as not sure I can post it.

There is normally a £15 charge for these migrates as long as no BT engineer visit is needed for the migration. We can waive this if there is a new 12 month contract with the move.

BTW viva I did look at your fibre but ruled you out, as your fibre prices cost to much. Free Fibre connection may of helped.

Vivaciti FTTC Family 45GB @ £34.99
Xilo Fibre+ 50GB @ 29.99

See my reply to VIVA Roberto.

I think I prefer the wired router you linked to better than the BT hub. That is one point to plusnet. Don't know if the two routers you posted before would work on BT?

Thanks good to know your happy with BT fibre. Shame you don't torrent as that is most important to me. 13 meg up is still excellent thought.

If Anyone on BT or plusnet could do a simple legal torrent test for me, I would be grateful.
Please see links and post your results. Only need a few people to test it. Will give a better idea on who's P2P throttle is the worst.

With 800,000 odd Infinity users the chances of one person getting a different performance on the throttling platforms is pretty high.

In short, the management can be different for two users who are doing identical activity, as not all traffic goes through the same point for management.

Ah ok, fair play

If you mean the Buffalo, as far as I know there would be no problem with any ISP's FTTC except for probably Sky. They have an unusual logging in system. Several people have ditched the Home Hub 3.

I only posted about one that I remember - the Buffalo? Though I did change the link to the same thing at a lower price.

It's a nice warm feeling to have a spare router anyway .

Not sure if this is what your saying but are you saying that BT say, would traffic shape each individual connection?

That would not make sense and be more of a inefficient way of doing things.

Yes the Buffalo was one of them and the Technicolor TG582N you mentioned. I may get that off ebay or something. Just not a plusnet one if I go with BT.

Hope I can turn wirless off on both routers. Thanks roberto.

No problemo and now you know.
