[Christmas themed thank]

Believe a transfer is a minimum of 14 working days.

 

[gam3r]

Activation confirmed for the 13/07/2017.
So that's around 15 days on a clean line.

Thanks

Surprising but a good thing if their network can handle it. I've never noticed any traffic management with BT or Plusnet so it probably won't make any practical difference to me.

 

[ChrisD.]

Any PlusNet people having issues this afternoon?

I cannot get to http://www.qnap.com from home but it works perfectly fine via 4G.

 

[bremen1874]

It's working for okay for me.

 

[ChrisD.]

Okay cheers. Annoying as I'm trying to set up some containers, I'll try and find another download mirror.

That normal?

 

[KIA]

^ Normal.

 

[ChrisD.]

Tried live chat, they suggested restarting my router (pfSense) or putting on a new one. Not sure how my router could be causing this? I did think perhaps snort, but I disabled it and it was still the same.

 

[gam3r]

Just went live on 38/2:

6. Data rate: 2000 / 39993
7. Maximum data rate: 10944 / 47268
8. Noise margin: 16.2 / 9.1
9. Line attenuation: 30.5 / 21.6
10. Signal attenuation: 30.3 / 19.9

My Plusnet fibre also went live today on my new house

I'm reasonably far from the exchange, so I get around 34Mbps but still very happy!

Downstream: 34.16 Mbps
Upstream: 2.001 Mbps

This is a bit over double what I used to get speed wise, so I am enjoying being able to download things a bit quicker.

 

[JasonM]

Has any other Plusnet users had their signal to noise db lowered? It use to be 6db noise margin, but last week have been put on 3db. Download has gone from about 50mbps to 59mbps.

 

[ChrisD.]

No change here.

Openreach now allow a 3dB target. Nothing to do with Plusnet.

Thanks for information, just wondered if anyone else had noticed a difference. My line still stable at the moment despite about another 9 mbps increase.

 

[ChrisD.]

Just done vdsl snr -50 on my Vigor 130 and sync has jumped from 55 to 72.

Too good to be true?

 

[DragonQ]

Hmm, my SnR is 6.4 dB. Is it a scheduled roll-out type thing or does it depend on other factors?

 

[bremen1874]

I'm fairly sure I read that it's a staged roll-out.

I'm also still waiting for the change.

 

[mark66]

Considering moving from Sky fibre (40mb) to Plusnet Fibre Extra (~70mb) as it's quicker, £5 a month cheaper plus I'll get £75 cashback through works discount scheme.

Are there any negatives I should be aware of? Is the Plusnet One Hub router ok compared to Sky's Hub?

Cheers
