I know this is not a problem with my line as the router is synced with the exchange at its normal speed, currently 2784 and I am also able to download from my PN webspace at full speed. Shame about just about every other website on the internet!
I do download quite a bit but only through the night off peak and have never exceeded my usage allowance.

Have you tracerted to some of the sites you have tried?
Do they seem to be taking a similar route in terms of the PN peering connection that they are using e.g. Telia?

I haven't check the prices for dialup recently, but do remember it used to be quite easy to run up some fairly high monthly amounts on PAYG.

So it shouldn't be subject to the selective throttling dependent on where you visit.
Or to give it the official name 'download servers'?
(Never have understood the logic behind that product decision).

How is browsing to non-download server sites? The BBC for example? Is that equally slow as the others that you're having problems with?
We are expecting to add further broadband capacity very shortly.

I have just came from a guys house after reinstalling XP for him. I downloaded and installed all the usual stuff. IE7, Adobe reader, AVG and updates etc etc. He is with Talk Talk at £10/month and this all happened at his line speed.
I am currently reinstallng XP on my own laptop and currently downloading AVG updates at 6.6Kbps on my own connection. I cannot bare to think what the rest will be like eg. Windows update.
I would like answers from Plus Net or I may be forced to go elsewhere. I am paying £21.99/month for broadband (premier option 1) and that is what I would like, not dialup. I do not want to hear about peak time restrictions because obviously Talk Talk can do it!
