This has been discussed on Thinkbroadband http://forums.thinkbroadband.com/plusnet/f/4427256-plusnet-capacity-to-apple-cdn-poor.html but wanted to raise it here to see if there is any official response.
When downloading Apple updates or App updates at peak times I don't get full download speeds. The other day it took 15 minutes to download a 90mb update, and when I did a speediest I was getting my usual 38mbps down.
Is there a capacity issue between Plusnet and the Apple CDN? I downloaded the next 80mb update I disconnected my phone from the WiFi and went onto 4G which took seconds.

We have 2 iPhones and 2 iPads and an Apple laptop and none seems to have suffered slow downloads at peak times/first day of updates.
Perhaps your wifi channel is in contention with other users in your neighbourhood?

Funny thing was when the post first went up on Thinkbroadband it wasn't effecting me either, but these past few days it is.

It's taken me nearly 24hrs to download the new OSX (from Czech Republic).

I have a MYWiFi portable hub on EE mobile for holidays, I ran speedtests on my PlusNet Fibre = 35.7Mbps, EE mobile hub = 7Mbps.
I swapped my iPhone onto the WiFi from the portable hub and using a mobile network the updates raced through in seconds. I waited for another update, and tried the PlusNet fibre wifi again and it was SLOW>>>>>
I checked the update sizes and they were all comparable. One I timed was about 10 minutes for a 100Mb file on PlusNet, a similar sized update via a mobile hub took a couple of minutes on a theoretically slower link.
The updates also go slow or fail when I download them to iTunes via Plusnet
Go Figure....

Glad it's not just me, I was worried it was my Apple Caching Server playing up.
Great connectivity to everywhere, able to download Apple Updates over mobile connection just fine, but when updatig over my PlusNet FTTC connection it really just crawls.
