group.

This was posted to PlusNet today..........

Some feed back

Yesterday my broadband service terminated with Plusnet and was taken
over by Sky.
I was connected and up and running within minutes.

OK the feed back for you at Plusnet is that I was astonished, gob
smacked at how fast the Sky service was compared to PlusNet and I have
complained frequently about how slow PlusNet was...almost a dial up
connection. You took no notice and did nothing. It was clear you
frequently throttled the service and your servers simply could not
keep up with the demand. Its a frequent theme appearing in magazines
and on web sites and in news groups. You constantly deny it but the
facts are obvious. You throttle customers connections.

So I ran some tests on the speed using a number of different sites/
methods incl Bt speed test and surprise surprise Sky was more than
twice as fast as my old PlusNet conection, and at the busiest time of
the day!!!.

Now this is the best bit. For that `half a service` you charged me
£21.99 a month and also slapped a 20 Gb download limit on me which
wasn`t there when you sold me the service originally.

Sky on the other hand is more than half your price, £10 a month and is
unlimited but subject to a fair usage policy. They dont specify a
limit and state they have more than enough capacity.

So in terms of speed and cost and usage Sky beats Plusnet hand down.

Number 1 ISP in the UK...dont make me laugh ;-))))))

I 2nd that, Plusnet for my mother was very poor hence I'd never recommend
their service ever again!!!

I moved her over to TalkTalk and they beat Plusnet for speed`s...

I`m a customer of Sky broadband also and get full 8mb here at £5 a month,
excellent service....

The results of a survey! I am always suspicious of surveys.
In all my years I have never ever been approached once to take part in a
survey (apart from the national census). I'm just back from the Club a
couple of friends were going on about this article (in The Guardian) no one
there has ever been asked, around 70 folks! I'm not questioning the honesty
or integrity of the folks who carried out the survey just where do they get
their sample from.....Andromeda??

I think you know what I meant but judging on your past posts it's an easy
target...

Easy target indeed...judging by the name you post under, you clearly
have problems with capitalisation.

But although not ambiguous now, it might be so in another context.
Confusion of units can be very serious (e.g. the plane that was
refuelled in litres instead of gallons).

How strange. I have the opposite problem with surveys and receive at
least one a week. There is probably a database of survey "possibles"
and I'm on it.

With telephone surveys I just hang up. With "paper" surveys I tick
boxes at random.

So you too live in a household of 37 people, own 1.5 dogs, 2.5 cats,
smoke 150 fags a week, drink 23 units of alcohol a day and purchase
everything from an outlet called 'others'.
