Have Plus Net put software on the systems to stop sky working?
Lol, no. I can assure you that my Sky box works fine. The only complaint I have is the way Sky keep dropping the HD versions of older On Demand programmes but leave them in the list.
Also I have Samsung S5 and so does my husband and we both struggle with the connection to the WiFi, even when the signal strength on the phone is strong. this also happens on my tablet.
That might be local contention with your neighbours although if it was fine with your Sky router I'd expect it to be fine with the PN one. If you have another router kicking around you could give that a try. PN don't require us to use their router.
We also have an Android box which has buffering issues, this is connected by Ethernet cable. But they are never all connected at once, if someone thinks I have too many items connected.
I don't think anyone's going to think that. Not for Ethernet devices. It's possible to overload most domestic wifi routers if you get enough people round for a party but most of them can handle a dozen devices. And on Ethernet they can handle several dozen. Possibly a couple of hundred.
I moved to Plus-net for the great fibre offers, but have had nothing but trouble connecting since joining, I'm starting to wish I had stayed with sky.
Well my advice to people has always been that you get what you pay for. People who scrabble around for the cheapest ISP nearly always end up in the bargain basement. However PN defies that trend. Despite being relatively cheap their service is still amongst the best available so in theory you should not be having any problems. Having said that though problems do sometimes crop up.
There's a sticky at the top of this forum section titled 'Fibre Fault Guides' that is worth reading and actioning.
But in the meantime don't panic. Although PN is cheap it's actually a pretty good ISP and it's some kind of fault that you are experiencing not a limitation of their service.
