Plusnet Cracking Deal ?

After the recent rantings of a mad man here about Plusnet, I was asked to
find a cheap deal for my daughter who has some light broadband usage
requirements. I have to thank him for reminding me about Plusnet. I would
have overlooked them if it had not been for his ranting, so rather than
make people avoid them - it's given them an extra sign up! I'm sure
that's not what he intended.... LOL.

You know what? For her needs Plusnet seem to come out on top according to
Moneysavingexpert:
http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/pho...dband#cheapest)

The overall cheapest: 10Gb download limit
Plusnet Option 1. £5.99/month inc. free wireless set-up.

The Plusnet Value* package at £5.99/month is the cheapest broadband
available and has a generous 10GB daytime download limit and unlimited
downloads from midnight to 8am. Go over the download allowance during the
day and it'll cost you £2 for 2GB.

The speed is up to 8Mbps, with a free wireless router included, though
it's worth noting that traffic is quite heavily managed during peak
times, so downloaders should expect to have their speeds strangled in the
daytime. Provisions have been made for online gamers, however, who should
still find it speedy.

You also get a free wireless router and free activation with this package
but are tied into an eighteen month contract. Existing customers on an
older deal can get this, even in contract, though you won't get the free
wireless equipment and you will have to start a new eighteen month
contract.

It's worth noting that if you're in the 20% of the country that can't get
this offer (you'll be told when you enter your postcode) you'll only get
the first three months at £5.99, after this it'll set you back £11.99/
month, meaning you should try elsewhere.

QUICK FACTS. Speed: Up to 8Mbps Download Limit: 10 GB Modem & Connection
Fee Included: Yes (subject to 18 month contract) Migration Fee for
switchers: None Technical Support Phone Costs: 4p (Geographical 0114)
Traffic Shaping: Yes, strong

I'll be OK. I have a vonaq 500 DSL tester. Now tell me, anyone have a
manual for it?

You've made it quite clear that you don't have the intellect to understand
how ADSL works in practice, and never will.

So why don't you go and join a NG more your level, like uk.trainspotting
or uk.funwithcrayons and stop making noise here

True of any service.

I've been with Plusnet since September 2004 (with three changes of
service as better choices came along). For 2-3 years of that, I was
mainly working at home, although only connecting to client sites on an
ad-hoc basis.

Throughout that period, I have been online almost every evening,
usually for 4-5 hours.

I can only recall 2-3 occasions when there has been a noticeable loss
of service, and the longest of those was one whole evening *once*.

Some people have not been so fortunate, but I think the majority
aren't that far off.

Actually, whatever you may think, all you have made clear is that you
are so far from having a clue that you wouldn't even recognise one if
somebody threw it at you.

Rubbish.

There is a huge range between a fully functional service and one which
doesn't work at all.

While you are stuck in the smutty mind of a 12 year old, unable to
express yourself coherently or without pointless swearing.
