Wonder what that actually will mean to customers of Plusnet.... is it time to seek another ISP?

I'd've thought it was time to seek another ISP long before BT bought them...

Me too. Really should have changed when they kept messing about with the FUP and general T&Cs. Just never bothered. That might change now though.

Not in the slightest surprised, they were obviously strugglng when i left 4 month ago. The pricing was too high, and their restrictions to strict, it was obviousls this was going to happen eventually.

Agreed it was always going to happen. A little surprised at the timing, but not surprised it happened.

Don't PN have some customers unbundled on to Tiscali's package? Surprised BT bought an ISP that has unbundled customers tbh.

BT Retail were talking about running their own LLU operation before - remember that in all but name, they're just another ISP (cough).
