Quote from: Chris Some ISP's (who are a more expensive) have Max Premium included in the price.
It's not specific to an ISP as it's quite easy to place an order with Max Premium enabled but it would push the monthly price up.
On the whole, most customers wouldn't find the need for Max Premium and would rather pay less for not having it, I imagine.
In hindsight I suspect that this may have been the case on my last ISP as i was paying (noticeably) more, but while the higher upload speed was mentioned, I don't have any recollection of anything being said about having higher network priority . Plus, as a smaller ISP with a nigh on flawless reputation I did expect to pay more for not only quality of service but support as well.
However, even with Max Premium added Plusnet would still come in cheaper, and so far the support on here has been all I could wish for.
I think I will run through the first couple of weeks and see how things settle down, however if the absence of Max Premium is still a gripe guess i'll be signing up
Would I get a faster response to a request to have it added by posting my request in this thread, or it through the Plusnet trial page?
Many thanks once again for everyone's help, I feel my sanity has been restored

Quote from: Chris Some ISP's (who are a more expensive) have Max Premium included in the price.
The difference between Max and Max Premium is a follow on from the old residential contention of 50:1 and the business contention of 20:1 - i.e. Max Premium was aimed more at business users. I'd expect ISPs more orientated towards those users (and charging business prices) would include it in their offering. Going back a bit it was included in Plusnet's Business Option 3 package but an option on Business Options 1 and 2.

Speed test results:
EDIT: I've rebooted both my router and computer but no improvement. I am seeing speeds as low as 39B/s just trying to refresh this page.
EDIT 2: well, an hour later, and despite being barely able to load a web page or have any hope of updating an app on my tablet all night, I am now streaming 720p videos on YouTube at 600k/s+
Happier - yes, confused - very, confident that things have sorted themselves fully - not quite yet.
Fingers crossed for the same sort of speed continuing tomorrow and no repeat performance of tonight

Tips:
1. You don't need to upload images to imageshack. When composing your post click Additional Options and Attachments where you will find the option to attach files to your post.
2. Results from the thinkbroadband test: when it completes scroll down the page where you will find the BBCode (for forums; not supported on thinkbroadband forums) Displaying Graphs which will look like this:
Just copy/paste that code in to your post and it will display like this:
This is from a 20CN Max Premium line.

Many thanks for the tips, it took a blue age to upload to image shack
Please see my 2nd update on the previous post - I don't get the disparity in performance at all.
Edit: managed to get an Ethernet cable off a neighbour this is how the speed test looks over a wired connection now:

Can you let us know if this happens again tonight, as well as what time this starts to kick in?
