Searching this Forum, I came across this announcement:
From 29th June 2017, Traffic Prioritisation is no longer applied to our current Unlimited and Unlimited Fibre products.
Is this still true for ADSL (non-Fibre) Unlimited product?

@Wheel_nut The statement applies to all Unlimited products. Unlimited = ADSL and Unlimited Fibre = FTTC.

@RealAleMadrid Thank you for your clarification. I have been experiencing quite a bit of latency but that may be due to DNS issues.
Do most of you use the PlusNet DNS or is there a generally accepted better one?

There have been reports of the Plusnet Hub One being reluctant to pass DNS requests on.
However, these were typically stopping all DNS forwarding until rebooted.
Are you using a Plusnet supplied router?
If so the DNS servers are fixed to Plusnet ones. The only way to bypass is to set the DNS manually on each device.
I personally do not use a Plusnet supplied router and I have configured the router to use OpenDNS.
A friend of mine is happy using the Cloudfare DNS.
Regards
Richard

Hi Richard,
No I am using a BT Hub 6. I never even bothered to open the PlusNet supplied Router.
The BT Hub 6 has been rock solid for me for over two years and the WiFi strength is excellent for my needs.
