To be fair even TalkTalk Business charge £50 connection fee.

To be fair, I doubt this is going to bother me, but it is interesting to see none the less.

It would bother me. Especially since I'm getting the same speed 24/7 from Plusnet for £37pcm. I was all set to move to IDNet but then realised that their pricing wasn't as good as it seemed. Now you're saying that for nearly 50% extra cost I get to watch my speeds drop in the evening.

No way. It ain't worth it just to get mostly still unnecessary IPv6.

40/20 is a product PlusNet make up themselves, afaik there isn't a 40/20 product available from openreach/wholesale. I believe their 40/20 product was the 80/20 product rate limited to 40.

Yup. Product stopped being sold over a year ago. They've recently introduced a 55/10 package that isn't for sale and have forced all the old 40/20 users on to it. Of course in true PN style they screwed up the migration for several people.

40/20 - the bad idea that just keeps giving :-/

They confirmed to me that the traffic priority option is at the BT level and doesn't apply to their own network.
The reply actually stated cabinet but I would assume this is the priority option that applies through to the BT backhaul network....

Good to know. Thanks for the update.

I was expecting to get booted off entirely, and forced over to IDNet (as happened when I migrated from AA -> Zen a couple of years ago now).

But by 8am this morning, it was still connected with Zen...

Finally got to the bottom of why this happened.

Zen kept quiet about a Fibre GEA Migration which completed against my line on 20/10/2016. I never got notified about this, but it is present on my Zen order history page, having now just checked. So after this date, I would have been on Zen's back-haul and, since I have also been advised IDNet use Zen's back-haul, this is why a disconnection never occurred.

Are you still getting evening/peak time slowdowns?

interesting so zen resell their backhaul to idnet.

Yeah, very interesting, thats another possible alternative scored off my list for where to go next to get a better connection than I have now!

Yes. Hourly speed tests don't lie. See the link in my signature.
