From a browser POV, it seems to stall when trying to retrieve DNS info, or during streaming
Is this the same issue lots of people are experiencing or am I a special snowflake?

My Synch remains unchanged although my max ds throughput has consistently been down a few meg for a few weeks according to BTW checker.

I was surprised to find that on my connection 25 to 30 publicly available DNS servers are reliably faster than Plusnet's own. It's a very handy piece of software, give it a go and see what results you get.

So it looks like it's saying PlusNet DNS is the fastest for me with Google DNS in 2nd place? (PlusNet DNS is configured on my router)

That is actually your router at the top of the list, rather than Plusnet's DNS servers per se.
[edited for clarity] Plusnet's DNS servers should have their own entries in the list somewhere too.

I also find a slight gain putting the DNS server IPs in my TCP\IP settings rather than in my router settings.
