I have rang and cancelled my Sky fibre order. Placed an order with Plusnet this morning.

Good move! Have you seen Sky Now TV charged ridiculous £9.99 per 24 hours as a pay as you go for to viewing all six live sky sports alone. Sky need a punch on their face! :mad:

Glad I ain't with sky anymore.

Superb value isnt it.

Have Plusnet removed the P2P throttling like BT have?

Just about to ditch BT and move to these on the top deal. My line says 48MB. Currently get 36Mb with BT.

I only need 300mbs wifi but what's a really good router to replace there rubbish item

BT Hub is up to 150Mbps wi fi. Poor Hub really.

Mine was estimated at 66/19. Vast improvement on my ADSL2 9mb.

My estimate is the same as yours only my current non fibre line can only handly 5meg.

It's strange that no other company including Sky would offer me anymore than the 40 meg profile. PN are the only ones!

Half expecting an error and being dropped down to 36 or something

My Fibre cab is all cabled up and the power has been going in over the last couple of days so I hope I can order soon. Still showing as not available on all the FTTC checkers though so I hope it will be updated very soon! I wanna ditch my crappy 2mb adsl sky BB and jump on the plusnet band wagon. Did consider trying sky fibre but im just not to sure

I've just cancelled my BT contract and moved over to Plusnet. Main reasons for me were the price and better routing.

Camalot · 27 Mar 2013 at 18:49

Got an install date yet?

ChrisD. · 27 Mar 2013 at 19:41

Nope.

I think the easier to activated phone line and fibre to the cabinet away from virgin media cable because BT Openreach only re-connected telephone line then connected fibre broadband. Because virgin media phone line and cable broadband had got nothing to do with BT engineer's work. (It belong to virgin media only).

My mate is leaving virgin media to join plusnet, wish him all the best of luck.

Thanks, Bulldog.
