Be interesting to see who that is.
My bet will be on Sky or BT, seeing as they lost out on AOL.

I love the quote " It [i.e. PlusNet] regularly tops
customer-satisfaction surveys."

If that was an online survey, none of the dissatisfied customers responses
would have makd it back to the pollster thanks to traffic throttling - I
often used to get 1 byte/sec usenet download speed with plusnet in the
evenings (no I didn't miss a "K" out there).

LOL!
All appears to be sorted now, by the way - Usenet is fair whizzing through
here.
It looks as if Plusnet are now crawling back to somewhere approaching their
previous good levels of service after the past 9 months of disastrous faux
pas and outages.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed...
