Ofcom, the UK communications regulator, has partnered with SamKnows to research broadband performance in the UK.
They’re looking for customers of various broadband services, including Plusnet and so we'd like to get as many people as possible to take part in the testing.
The research involves connecting your router to a device that monitors the performance of your broadband connection (not your home network or web traffic).
If you volunteer and take part in this project, you’ll get access to your own data so you can track the performance of your broadband connection.
If you’d like to join in or find out more, please go to http://www.samknows.com/broadband/signup/ofcom

Quote NOTE: Our units download approximately 2GB per month and upload around 2GB. If you're on a product with a low usage cap then we'd advise against signing up, or at least informing us beforehand so that we can apply a different testing profile.

I'll hopefully be on FTTC by the time the next test comes around, so I'd sure like to be able to contribute. That is provided BT manage to fix their installation-booking system by then

Any particular reason why you didn't restrict the emails to those customers on ADSL2+
Quote from: dave The Ofcom testing is being done in May. When the results of the last batch of testing were published we didn't have very many customers on ADSL2+ taking part so the post (and mails we sent out today) is to try and get some ADSL2+ customers taking part in the testing for May.
