Up to 24 meg download speed
Up to 2.5 meg with Upload Plus service
All for £22 a month
And unlimited downloads (With the usual cough "fair usage" policy)
And I was wondering if Plusnet have any plans to provide a similar service.
As it would seem to me that a lot of people will migrate from their current ISPs (Which ever one they are with) to this company considering the much higher speeds and price etc.
Also is it likely that other ISPs will also offer similar speeds so as not to be left out?

They were using LLU from Tiscali Wholesale last year (which could have bneen expanded to 24Mbs) but that has now stopped and is unlikely to be restarted as Tiscali are a competitor to BT Retail who now own PlusNet.
Details on BTs ADSL2+ plans can be found here but it is looking like Q3/Q4 2008 before any mainstream faster speeds will be available. More details on TBB's website.

Looks like BT had better get their finger out or they could get left behined

I can get it where I live but I have no plans of changing ISPs as I'm happy with PN.
But I must admit I do like the thought of 24m D/L and even better 2.5m U/L all for £22

Perhaps there will be pressure on the server side to be able to serve at these speeds - perhaps by recognizing these high-value whizz-kids, presumablyat the expense of those without the souped-up networks.
Will they get their no speed limit M1?
I can (just) remember when buses used to charge up and down at 100mph - until some accident or other enforced speed restrictions.

LLU is a different league and it does suprise me that BT are dragging their heals and yes as Grandpa states they are dragging their heals.
With Virgin Media about to buy alot of LLU kit to help out customers who cannot get cable it would be wise for BT to get moving.
It would be a shame to see the monopoliser be monopolised

Bearin mind, LLU suppliers are able to use different charging models as the bulk costs for them are to actually put their own equipment into the exchange and then charge accordingly for bandwidth. We're stuck on BT Wholesale's line rental and central pipe charging prices.

The newest broadband product from o2 is looking very tempting especially as I would get up to 24Mb for not very much (<£10) on a staff discount and the Be kit is already installed at my exchange
