I am very happy with my plusnet service... Good value and service.
I am just curious to know why virgin have such faster top available speeds than plusnet when they both run on fibre optics.
In my case I am on the fibre to the door trial so in theory there is no reason why it can't run faster?
Thanks

I believe FTTP is technically capable of up to 1Gbps. Plusnet are still only offering fttp on a trial basis and have decided for the time being to only offer a product with comparable speeds to the normal FTTC product. I believe other suppliers of fttp will offer a 300Mbps product but it is considerably more expensive.
Superusers are not staff, but they do have a direct line of communication into the business in order to raise issues, concerns and feedback from the community.

Virgin have their own network and are free to offer whatever speed they want.
Those ISP's using the OpenReach have a choice of wholesale products at different speeds. PlusNet simply uses the standard 40/10 & 80/20 options (same as FTTC). Can't say offhand what the two normal higher speeds are but if you were to look at BT Retail you would see.
