Sugestions Please
Hi All,
Firstly I'm not sure if this is the right thread to post this, but here goes.
I've been shopping around for BB and phone since my BT fixed term expired. I am paying £11.50 or so line rental and £15.99 for a capped 10GB BB monthly use.
PlusNet was top of the price pops on moneysavingexpert, so I thought I would give it a shot. Due to my exchange being an issue, I'm paying slightly higher costs, but have gone for the basic package which has the same caps as BT.
My useage is mainly e-mails and some internet shopping, via desktop and laptop. I occasionally play online with the PS3, but don't download loads of files or music. I very rarely go over the BT 10GB cap, but note that the plusnet excess charges are reasonable to cover this.
The reason I write (and ask your opinion) is due to me finding this forum and reading though the pro's and con's of the PlusNet service. Some users appear to have suffered terrible lag on the PS3, which would make the service pointless to me.
Can anyone advise if my service will be stable and lag free, before it's too late??!! (I've only applied online today).
thanks in advance

Hi there,
Gaming is rate limited on Value, as Strat as pointed out, but that won't affect your ping as the traffic is still prioritised.
There have been issues recently, but they've been game-specific, and now seem fine, so I wouldn't worry.
