plusnet 8 meg Running like a dog

Hello,

The last 2 nights my plusnet is running like a dog ........Anyone else got
the same problem? Did speed test and its running at 299K. This has been
the same for 2 nights running. Its ok during the daytime.

Thanks

I was on Plusnet but left last month.

Speeds were slow and Usenet was a waste of time due to throttling.
They have no capacity, basically they have too many people downloading for
longer and they failed to pre-empt this by getting extra bandwidth.
Things won't be any better until they get rid of Ellacoya.

They're actually reducing the number of BT centrals they have!

Eeeeek.

300,000 customers on 4 centrals, all running on black

Enuff said I think

They've just ordered an additional pipe - due in March.

About half that number, according to some calculations I saw today.

Which would take their capacity back to where it was a year ago.

No further explanation required.

Yes, I had similar problems until I left them last year. Looks as
though nothing much has improved. You know what to do.

The next one I went to was Nildram, which gave good service. Later I
changed to Orange, because they offer broadband at a very low price if
you already have one of their contract mobile phones. Technical advice
is a bit haphazard, but the service itself is performing very well,
with a free VOIP phone service thrown in, and they provide the box as
well. People say Zen is good too.

You should have bought a greyhound ;-)
