I have no idea about this particular service, but my experiences with
Plusnet in general haven't been positive. When things go wrong, their
tech support people have little clue and just say "try switching it
off and on again" or "try replacing your router, cabling and
microfilter". My parents' Plusnet connection keeps intermittently
dropping down to sub-200Kb/s speeds, but Plusnet have been less than
helpful. Everything that they can do to check the connection costs a
non-trivial amount of money. Personally, I'd be very wary of signing
up with Plusnet. YMMV.
