Two of the main reasons I steer clients towards Plus.net is because their packages are fairly straight forward, and because they give free fixed IP with the business package. On the one occasion when we had real technical issues, I have to say they were surprisingly helpful, with the same UK based person calling back on my mobile several times over a week or so with advice and to check if the problem was sorted OK (it had to be referred to BT wholesale / OpenReach engineers for fixing etc.) At home I just switched few months ago from Virgin Media to Plus.net - mainly because VM kept on putting prices up gently every few months. I was only on VM 10mbs. The thing is, after I went through the whole installation and reconfiguration, new (proper, not the one they send) ADSL modem router, and then subsequent package upgrade, because the Plus.net base 10GB/month package wasn't enough - I worked out that any savings from moving away from VM have kind of been wiped out for about 2 years. I can't comment on p2p situation for either provider - as I download an ISO maybe once a year - so can't really tell the difference. Plus.net gives me a measured 15mbs - but unlike VM, that will depending on the quality of your copper wire - so not really predictable. One significant downside of the move is the upload speed. With VM I was getting about 1mbs upload - which is useful for my OpenVPN link - while with Plus.net I get about 350kbs - which is normal for ADSL lines - but not what I need. So all in all - a mixed conclusion really. VM called to say after I moved that I could have hassled them back to £21-£22/month (for basic BB and basic phone line) before moving away (which was my tariff to start with, 2 years ago) - which would have rendered the move irrelevant - but by then it was too late :-) Hope the above helps a bit, Sebastian From shop at open-t.co.uk Mon Feb 6 09:25:42 2012 From: shop at open-t.co.uk (Sebastian Arcus) Date: Mon, 06 Feb 2012 09:25:42 -0000 Subject: [Chester LUG] Good broadband In-Reply-To: <4F2F957B.5010808@linuxmail.org> References: <4F2F957B.5010808@linuxmail.org> Message-ID: <4F2F9C8C.3070801@open-t.co.uk> One more thing. Talking about VPN speeds - there is the possibility it is not VM's fault. I recall various discussions on the OpenVPN mailing list (and it might apply to other VPN's as well) about people trying to achieve theoretical speed limits even inside a LAN - and stumbling well short of the target, because of all sorts of reasons why they couldn't get there inside a VPN tunnel. The the reason might be elsewhere, not on the broadband link itself. Sebastian On 06/02/12 08:55, John wrote: > Go with Plus net..they are really good.

I was lucky enough to get an account back when they freely gave out multiple IPs. The tech support used to be great, straight through to a techie, but as they've expanded they don't have the same quality. Several times when I've asked a technical question they've referred me to the support forums to ask a question there! Thankfully some of the customers appear to know a lot more about Plus than certain tech support guys and you'll get an answer fast. When you do get someone technical on support, they really are happy to help. Plus do throttle some services during the day, but I believe it's to known file sharing sites as I've never had any problems with my VPN connections. My deal is 120GB a month for peak on the FTTC connection (40meg). My main usage is with Netflix / Sky and downloadings ISOs so I never get anywhere near that. In fact when I had an old package with lower allowance I created a script that runs at midnight until 8am and downloads anything I pop in a text file. Not really needed now but I find it's handy if I don't want to lose speed downloading say a DVD iso if I don't need it straight away.

I can understand a bit of throttling for sure. However with Virgin when it gets to the point that you have to think "can I download this one gig file today, as i have to work from home tomorrow and if throttling kicks in and the connection may be really really poor, can I risk it!" something is seriously wrong. Plus reckon I can get 7 MBit atm, which should be ok'ish. Just wish I was in their fibre area. Problem is, where I am, Virgin have a virtual monopoly on the telco provisioning. I would ring up and moan at them, but it gets you nowhere fast. I am going to give Virgin notice anyhow, as they really aren't that good a value for money in the first place. They will prolly turn round and offer me the 120 Mbit service, which you would never be able to stretch its legs anyhow! I'll let you all know how I fair with plus. If anyone has any refer a friend codes they have, im open to that!
