I am not in the least bit technical so please keep it simple.
I used to be with Zen and moved to plusnet after they discontinued the binary service. When with Zen I always had 8meg download speed. Since moving to plusnet i cannot get anything over 54kbps. Not even a Meg, anytime day or night. Can anyone help me PLEASE!.
Many thanks

Could you also check your PN profile at https://portal.plus.net/my.html?action=data_transfer_speed (don't post the last 4 digits of your phone number).
Depending on your package there will be traffic shaping, but it should be less severe outside peak hours.
Have a read and select your package - http://www.kitz.co.uk/isp/plusnet_shaping.htm

It goes to the back of the priority queue
Binary usenet is even more frowned on - their usenet offering doesn't even have it.
Your best bet seems to be bit torrent - if it suits your wants.
BTW You were tricked into that "unlimited" broadband.
Usage is unlimited
Speed can be very limited
Yet another sucker signed up for 18 months

That wasn't very nice was it? Calling a new customer a sucker? behave yourself, or I'll be feeling your collar shortly.

http://www.plus.net/support/broadband/quality_broadband/load.shtml should make for an interesting read.
It's worth putting your package details into http://www.kitz.co.uk/isp/plusnet_shaping.htm - this shows the
absolute maximum performance you can ever achieve with your package.

Welcome to the forum.
You should be getting considerably faster usenet speeds given the product that you have signed up for. You are not on the unlimited package - you have signed up for Plusnet Pro which carries a 15GB peak usage allowance and prioritises all traffic at all times of the day.
Could you possibly show us the result of a normal speedtest over at http://mybroadbandspeed.co.uk
