Yesterday I came across an article on WebUser about a broadband.co.uk report concerning peak time traffic speeds in the UK. I was surprised with the PlusNet results; Epitiro's most recent speed tests placed us at 2nd so we're generally highly rated for speeds. This seems like a good time to point towards how PlusNet prioritises real-time traffic (like web and email) during the evenings and how this may have affected the speedtest results. Web, streaming and email is always treated as high priority on our Broadband Your Way products and we have plenty of capacity to deliver all of these technologies at full speed around the clock. Have a look at this blog regarding our recent network expansion. It's possible the speed tester uses our 'download' profile which is prioritised differently in the evening. Our traffic prioritisation policies are explained in detail on our help and support pages. We'll speak with the team at broadband.co.uk to find out how many PlusNet speed tests were performed and how they were assessed. Have a look at this page to view the expected speeds of our broadband products or test your speeds now at www.mybroadbandspeed.co.uk
