(the static IP is a one-off charge and the mints are optional, not mandatory for the full broadband experience)
But agreed, slow broadband in peak periods is very annoying and hopefully Plusnet are going to get it fixed pronto!!

Is there a reason why you wouldn't be better off on Plusnet Unlimited at £9.99 pm where all traffic is Line Speed rather than Essentials + Pro add-on?

Been trying to watch sky go again today on the pc and is just unbearable with buffering anywhere from 20secs-2mins each time, even on medium settings.
As from the previous post about me using my next door neighbours connection is illegal, then i might have to tell my best friend to stop using my car if I am not allowed to use his internet connection.

If so, see http://www.plus.net/support/broadband/speed_guide/download_speeds.shtml and if that's the case, then someone on the phone hadn't done their homework right for Gaming, but the Pro add-on does alter the priority for other traffic see http://www.plus.net/support/broadband/speed_guide/traffic_management.shtml and look under Traffic prioritisation. Look at the two columns Unlimited & Pro Add-On and see if the differences are worth the £5pm to you.
Edit: It's not a problem to take off the Pro Add-on, or if you want it put back no problem either.

Does you "best friend" hot wire your car, then?
I was going to add something about "consenting adults", but thought it may be miss-construed

peegee if you had my 2.8 meg connection with constant packet loss,with the simplest every day browsing being a constant pain, always having to 'gateway hop' I think you would be moaning 'again' or wouldn't you?
I have removed the pro add on as it seemed so pointless, and yes i got it on the half price deal.

Quote from: lowlatency no why would he hot wire the car when he has a set of keys?
I was working on "like for like" - that he did it illegally

Ah! the heady heights of 2.8Mbps, something I used to long for, but didn't complain about (and gateway hopping would not have helped my often < 1Mbps) -- but, after being "cut off" for 5 days a few months ago, I now have 25m of new u/g cable resulting in an additional 40m to the cabinet and thence the exchange and a magnificent 3.6Mbps of reasonably consistent service (and the possibility of about 68Mbps on fibre)
However, I do empathise with you and the other "have less" members with speeds that are 10% of the reductions others are moaning about

Quote from: Anotherone you're on a 20CN connection aren't you? What sort of pings do you get
im on 21CN And mostly get good ping results of 18-25, but at peak times and weekends the jitter can be really stupid.

Don't switch they are a nightmare and call centres are useless and don't know what plusnet was. They thought it was a tv programme!!! Stupid indians in a cramped call centre!!
