Plusnet Discussion Thread

[Fallen god]

Well that was relatively painless. I just set up the wifi with the existing Plusnet SSID & password and everything has connected with no problems. Just need to see if I get any more drops. Whats the crack with Russia PPPoE?

Speeds are the same though my ping has dropped which is good and it does seen nippier (though that is probably just me).

Good news, looking to get the same router for my taltalk fiber connection, I've read online that the latest firmwire is really good and recommend to upgrade too. Also if you have an android phone install this app, Wifi analyzer, just gives you a ran down of all the current channels in use so you can pick the best one, I'm sure there are Wifi versions of it but im lazy.

One off £5 admin fee per static IP.

Cheers thanks.

How long does it take for them to install PlusNet?

do i need a actual plusNet line? My line is currently just a bog standard BT line.

Took 2 weeks for me, inactive phoneline to fibre.

You can leave your line with BT, it just costs a bit more.

The 5ghz on mine has stopped working properly

Got my mac from BT so ready to move to plusnet.

Got it just at the right time as TCB are offering £101 cashback on the unlimited fibre packages.

Anyone used TCB with Plusnet? any problems?

Does anyone know if it's possible to get interleaving removed? My speeds are nearly half what I was getting.

Just raise a ticket.

You got it fixed?

I am only using it on the Sky box and it has been working perfectly so far.

I'm going to on Monday, was just asking in here in case anyone else has had the same issue.

Not possible to have it removed. Interleaving won't be responsible for halving your speed.

I still don't know why Openreach won't allow control of interleaving on fibre. Indeed, they allow EUs to use their own routers now, so allowing ISP control of interleaving, target SNRM, etc. would be welcomed.

Pretty sure it's just a matter of time. We can arrange DLM resets under certain circumstances but it's a bit of a pain to request.

KIA's right though, interleaving definitely won't be responsible for halving the speed of your connection.

Best regards,

Rectified itself, what speed you getting over 5ghz btw?

Well something has happened I'm sure. Anyway I've sent a ticket in, lets see what happens.

 

[Brummies]

Just migrated from BT Infinity to Plusnet Unlimited Fibre, happy with that almost feels no change at all.

 

[inam22]

I'm still waiting for my switch over from BT infinity to plusnet, ordered on 25th Oct still no news

 

[Brummies]

Did you contact them? I had problems with my order with it "not going through" but after asking them they had to ensure it went through manually.

Worth opening a ticket.

You shouldn't have to wait a month at all so I presume this is the case; they need to manually put it through because the system for whatever reason doesn't do it.
