I am looking at the 'Plusnet Unlimited' package. I understand that the package has a truly unlimited usage allowance which sounds excellent. However, I understand that there is traffic management. I wouldn't mind this, but in practice, how much does this actually effect your online experience? Has it made any difference to watching YouTube, downloading, streaming, etc?
Yours faithfully,
Alec Robertson.

In summary I was downloading at full line speed, gaming and streaming at the same time without any issues at all. That's because the traffic management gave priority to my gaming and streaming to ensure they performed as they should.

In response to very polite communication we can advise that it wouldn't affect anything unless you were doing several things at once on your connection then the lower priority ones would give way to the higher priority ones.
Yours faithfully,

Thank you very much for your very quick response to my query. It looks like I will soon be signing for your services (at some point today I hope). Chris, may I ask, if one ordered today, when would the broadband go live (at the earliest)?
Yours faithfully,
Alec Robertson.

Are you considering fibre or ADSL
Are you migrating from another suppler - if so do you have a MAC already or is it LLU
If you aren't migrating is it an existing phone line or a new line.
If a new line is there an existing phone line without a dial tone or no line at all

In response to your query:
Are you considering fibre or ADSL - I am considering ADSL as I believe that Fibre is not currently available.
Are you migrating from another suppler - if so do you have a MAC already or is it LLU - We have just been given a MAC by our current ISP Zen.
If you aren't migrating is it an existing phone line or a new line. - Not available (kindly see the previous response).
If a new line is there an existing phone line without a dial tone or no line at all - Not available (kindly see the response to Are you migrating from another suppler).
Yours sincerely,
Alec Robertson.

That makes it easier for the staff to answer.
Unfortunately I haven't a clue as to the present timescale but it should be in days rather than weeks
Yours sincerely,
Oldjim

Thank you once again for responding so quickly. On the order page, I have the option of getting activated 'As soon as possible' or '4 Feb 2013'. I presume I should choose 'As soon as possible' or will it not make very much difference in practice?
Yours faithfully,
Alec Robertson.

I understand that Plusnet Unlimited includes a free modem router. Is this modem router good or should I get something else?
Yours faithfully,
Alec Robertson.

So if you don't mind having another router around to test with my view is it doesn't hurt to get it. You can alwyas replace it at a later date if you feel the need to.

Thank you very much for responding so quickly. Oldjim, if I may, what makes this Plusnet router so bad in your opinion?

I am afraid I don't quite understand. This was previously an account belonging to my mother, however, since we left Plusnet, the account is used by me. Therefore, I have had not had the service before or any experience of this forum, before this forum account was taken over by me.
