At present it seems to be slower than it is supposed to be - not sure why.
This explains the download speeds for unlimited http://www.plus.net/support/broadband/quality_broadband/speed.shtml which is one reason for going to Pro if 15GB is enough for you
Just to add that the download speeds are given in kilo bits per sec while download managers etc. often report in kilo bytes per sec (8 bits = 1 byte)

Quote from: steve74 im on plusnet unlimited,i have encountered no drop outs as ive been connected for over a day,just rang support who says i gotta stay connected 3 days before raising this to a fault.
I've just read back up this thread and realised that this reply from support is a load of complete and utter b...ocks!
I hope James or Mand is taking this up with the agent concerned and will be making good use of the GM Maestro! (I wish someone would fix that broken image link!)
