Moving soon and will not be taking their services with me
Today aside, is plusnet generally good? I've had outages from BT a few times this year too tbh, just want to know if it's stable at both peak and off peak when they're not experiencing a catastrophic failure of broadband. (I can't get fibre)
Aside from a very specific issue I had over the last two weeks, yes. However, I wouldn't personally switch to Plusnet right now. I'd wait until the teething problems with their new network are sorted first (assuming they do get sorted at some point).
My BT coming to an end in almost exactly a months time. Today is the day I try cancel/get a better deal. Planned on getting plusnet. Now I'm in a bit of a pickle, not sure what to do!

It's not the new network itself that is causing the packet loss, it is the gateways the new network is routed through, when on static IP the traffic is routed back through the old gateways rather than the new ones.
Since being put on static IP i've had no packet loss at all other than during the maintenance this morning between 3am and 9am.
i tried my luck with that yesterday pal, i pay £56 with BT the best they offered me was 6quid discount shocking.
Im switching today cant decided between plusnet or vodaphone atm there packages and speeds are very similar.
I did the same. Currently £28 for standard broadband (+ bt sport). They offered me another 12 month contract at £36!!!
I'm looking at plusnet (ofc) but these problems kind of putting me off. I'm doing a bit of research right now on Zen, Uno and Pulse8 too. Not sure who I will go with in the end.
Ive negotiating today with plusnet and Vodafone there seriously not budging on there web stated prices with cashback on plusnet and taking voda's £49 connection fee theres nothing in the prices works out around £30quid each for 76mb unlimited.
Im away for 3 weeks in a weeks time so would like to believe if I chose plusnet there issues would be solved by then, ive only tried the bigger providers sky are over priced and virgin is not in my area
I am in the process of switching to BT from Plusnet, £105 cashback and £100 reward card combined with a reduced rate of 25 for infinity 2 for 12 months. That's the line rental essentially paid for the year so £25 rather than 37 a month I was paying.

No issues here at the moment on PN, speed is fine, no packetloss for me to any services that I can see, lots of traffic between me and my VPS's darn sarf with no sign of issues, all webpages loading fine, all gravy!
Currently on the 143.159.x.x network

nutcase, without reading back, is your issue switching from PN to BT?
My contract is up with Zen in January and I've thought about going to BT due to all the offers about, but reading stuff likes this makes me just want to stay as nothing is wrong with the service.
What I resent is having to pay £5 or whatever it is to throw a router in the bin.

My plusnet fibre has been pretty crap these last couple of weeks or so. I thought it was the DNS so moved to google DNS, but I guess not as it still sucks.
Hopefully it resolves itself soon, as plusnet have been great up until now. Still, my contract will be up soon, so I guess it makes sense to move anyway.
