Talk Talk vs PlusNet

[Damnations Fury]

Basically i'm currently have a SKY Broadband Connect package which is so bad (some evenings less the 200kbps) that they are are letting me go without having to pay off the rest of my broadband contract.

Problem is, I appear to be on the worst exchange in Nottingham and Samknows suggests my only non-business LLU is TalkTalk. Oddly enough though, PlusNet suggest that they cann offer me up to about 14mbps based on their connection checker, which wouold suggest they are LLU, but they don't appear on Samknows.

Now I don't expect either to be particularly good, but surely they can't be as bad as SKY Connect. Has anyone ahd any experience with either of them or any opinions?

I've tried the connection intot he master socket (behind the faceplate) and it made no difference. From what i've read SKY have essentaially given up on Broadband Connect (which makes sense as it usees BT equipment rather than their own on the main packages) and contention is through the roof. I get near enough 8mb overnight, but in the evenings it's virtually unusable.

Hi there,

we don't offer any LLU products (although we have done in the past).

As FoxEye has alluded to, the estimated speedcheck will be based on the fact that we can provision your line on BT Wholesale's ADSL2+ 21CN product.

Best rgds,

Thanks for your help in clearing that up. Out of interest, on your throttling table, do you know if services like Sopcast are considered p2p on it, or video streaming?
