Which is 21CN enabled so I can uncap your upload if you like (just drop me a private message with your account username if you'd like me to)? It doesn't cost anything.
Hi Bob - I have fibre boradband from plus net, and very pleased with it. Although I currently use an ethernet cable from router to pc, but cant use that now so was looking at the Powerline adapters. Are they any good, and would i notice decrease in speed etc /compatible with fibre bb?
I am with them, have been for years. Where I am is a looong way from the exchange and the connection was around 1Mbps now on fibre and it's a solid 18Mbps. Not close to 40Mbps but considering the line quality I'm really happy and does more than I require.
I also find their staff helpful, takes a while to get through but I'd rather wait than get a quick answer from Mumbai. Don't take that the wrong way but it just isn't as easy to communicate with a non-native English speaker especially when it is a technical issue.
Overall best ISP I've used and would only swap for cable, bear in mind your local exchange (quality) may be a bigger factor than who your ISP is imo.
I am using plusnet while staying at my grans as a temporary measure, i won't be living here for too long so the 1 month rolling contract is great and the price is excellent.
As for service iv never had any problems, can be a bit slow at peak times but i suppose that depends on your exchange but what can you expect for £6.49!

Powerline adapters usually only get to 20% of the speed of what they're rated. It also heavily depends on the quality of the electrical wiring around your home.
And it will be compatible, it's just like a long ethernet wire .

Im using a Netgear DG834 router. Although I have a Plusnet supplied router, I've stopped using it as it's made by Thomson, which means playing Steam games is impossible (well known issue apparently).
