Just switched over to your Pro package today from Virgin. Although in my 2 years with Virgin i only experienced 2 disconects i was always faced with Traffic shaping, limited to 512kbps every evening and horrible ping rates for gaming, i mean my ping to you now is over 1k. I have recently joined a Pro gaming team, will your package resolve my issues do you think?
I know i will always suffer due to what ever assholes on my line hog the shit out of it when they get home from work, but from what i understand my gaming traffic will now be priortised from Xbox and PC?
Cuz i am simply refusing to play atm due the lag kills, im fed up yanks thinking their better just because their ping is superior, i need an edge, help
Thanks guys, looking forward to being with you. (Your service i mean ofc)

Your IP traffic will be priority on the Plusnet network, and you have excellent noise margins and no sign of any errors.
If PN have interleaving switched on your account, it could boost your pings a fair amount, since your line appears to be very stable and you have a high synch rate.
Hope this helps!

I have heard of some cases whereby BT actually throttle the speed, even though to PN and you it shows as 6.5Mbit.
Its usually quite a severe restriction, Ie 128Kbit Downstream, which could possibly generate the problems you have /or have had?

Yet during the day i can connect up to 7158 on the router with downloads sustaining 650kps and stay like that for hours with no disconects. Awesome in day, rubbish in nights.
No good for the working lot.

One thing I can guarantee, is that if the problems persist once you have migrated in then you will have a team of people both here on the forums, and at Plusnet who will want your problems solved so you can have a trouble free internet connection.
That's worth a million.
When is your migration date? I'd be interested to hear how it goes.

Thanks,
I know good CS when i see it, and i can see its here. I used to work in a BT Datacentre in Cardiff. I an remember seeing the evening shift playing a game on the phones quite frequently called "Bounce the call" Basically they would bounce a call around the office using the not ready button, who ever it rang off on would have to answer the next call. Explains a lot really

I remember one guy telling a customer the phrase, and I quote ' ahh yes, it seems you have a line problem. There seems to be giant squirrels knawing at your local exchange, you will have to report this as a voice fault.'
Yes, you will see improved pings, especially on the gaming package! EG, here are my pings to the same server as yours, and I dont use the Pro Package!

But any problems you have, just give somebody a shout on here!

Im lucky enough to know the guy who installed me, so I got put on my own line card, but for anyone else, its probably worse.
To be honest, I did say things like this would happen with VM took over telewest and NTL.
NTL Didnt invest in their network, and overloaded with customers, telewest (scotland) DID invest, but didnt get the customers and end result was they got better service.
But oh no, here comes Mr Branson to ruin it for the whole of Scotland, by throwing us in with, well, NTHell, and completely dragging down the entire image.
Funniest thing is, VM are now loosing money on the cable network, and are trying to punt it on.
*rant over*
