It's depend how good is your estimated speed via BTw checker but sometimes once get connected and activated, you will never know what is your connection sync rate going to be? Is it G.INP enabled? Is it target SNR 3dB on it? Or Lower sync rate due to crosstalk etc.

I got 80Mbps for almost 4 years with PN but it now drop to 73Mbps due to more peoples connected in my cabinet due to crosstalk.

If it is full I personally wouldn't risk it.

How do you know it's 100% full?

If the Cabinet is full, it will show from available to waiting list via BTw dsl checker online (address only)

Plusnet do have a 52/10 as i'm using it, however it was only offered to people on a discontinued 40/20 package. They charge me the same as their basic fiber package, but personally wish they kept the 40/20 as the upload was more important to me.

I thought PN only do 40/10? not 55/10 or has it changed now to become 55/10 by default?

Updated: I have spoken to Openreach via email and the good news that my cabinet 8 with g.fast will go live by next 8-12 weeks as they just awaiting to do five more cabinets in my area Cabinet 9, 7, 13, 1 and 6 but also saying FTTP is only available nuplace new houses in my area, Dawley, St.Georges and Madeley.

But the bad news is: PN will not offer g.fast service for the time being. So, I won't bother then.

Got a cracking deal with Plusnet staying for another 12 months contract for FTTC 80/20 with line only for just £22.50 all credit thanks to Gandalf (PN Staff) plus £5 further reduced from my referral scheme to get this price down to £17.50.

Going to stick and staying with PN.

Gandalf has helped me on the forums several times. Nice bloke.

Yes he is indeed. Great bloke too. If I meet him in person, I would buy him a pint!

Yea, DLM is annoying, but it’s just part of the process unfortunately.

Yes these are the PN rules below:

For FTTC (Dynamic Line Management - DLM Policy)

On the first day, your line will start at its fastest possible speed and Dynamic Line Management (DLM) will monitor the line for 24 hours.
Depending on the line's stability, the speed will be adjusted then checked again in 24 hours.
This will continue for up to 10 days until it finds the most stable speed for your line so please leave your Plusnet Hub One router turned on for the first 10 days while we are testing.
We do this to make sure you have the fastest speed your line can support on a stable connection.
While we are testing, you may notice some variations in your broadband speed and your connection may be intermittent at times - this is normal.
Do not turn off your Plusnet Hub One router - keep it ON at all times because Dynamic Line Management (DLM) will monitor the line at all times.
To avoid Dynamic Line Management (DLM) after 10 days turn off your Plusnet Hub One router from the main socket for at least 30 minutes before turn it back on.

I left Plusnet last year when I moved to smaller ISP that offered me G.fast service. Was on full max rate FTTC 80/20 with Plusnet for 7 years. Now with G.fast 241/38. Screenshot here: https://i.ibb.co/t42MGkc/Openreach-G-fast-7th-January-2022.png

I guess I was very lucky as BTw Checker estimate say Clean Range A for G.fast are 230/34. I left Plusnet because they will NOT offer any G.fast service.
