Hector's House Posted December 21, 2012 Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 The words: "bar", "stewards", "robbing" and "dirty" come to mind.Which reminds me of their pricing structure for "Market 1" areas like Shetland where they have no competition... http://www.plus.net/support/broadband/products/low_cost_areas.shtmlCynical or what Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shetlandpeat Posted December 22, 2012 Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 When I switched over here, it took a while for the best speeds to become available, the BT man said it could take up to 2 weeks, which it did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwanNeck Posted December 23, 2012 Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 I ma on ADSL2+, i'm on the Plusnet network for now, i have a Buffalo Airstation, went into the router and changed the modulation to ADSL2+. Spoke we the Plusnet guys and they confirmed that I was on ADSL2+, i'm 2 miles from the Lerwick exchange. Speed hasn't changed but the QoS is spot on (so far), no outtages at all... My brother-in-law is very close to the Lerwick exchange, he's with BT and his connection has gone from 8mbps to 19.5mbps, jammy git... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trooter Posted December 24, 2012 Report Share Posted December 24, 2012 TalkTalk have now decided to contact BT about my slow evening speeds :thanks for confirming the diagnostics. I have now raised the fault to BT. We will post updates as we have them. But they still ignore my request about ADSL2+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gibby_gibby Posted December 26, 2012 Report Share Posted December 26, 2012 My internet has not been working for days I contacted BT then the following day it worked again, however progressively slowed down as the day continued until it completely died Christmas Eve in the early evening, very annoying! BT call centres in India are useless and a little patronising adding to the experience, so this time I emailed through the details from out with my house.

CHUCK NORR1S Posted December 26, 2012 Report Share Posted December 26, 2012 Well, my ping is still going through the roof and my download speed is still shocking after 8pm at night. I've just got off the phone with a guy at Plusnet and requested to be shifted over to this ADSL2, as mentioned above. He said that was no problem and that I would receive an email stating the date when I would be moved. He said that if people don't request to move then they will be shifted over in bulk lots, which could take 2-3 months. There is also NO £11 charge, BT do not charge them for the shift so Plusnet do not charge their customers. Hopefully this will cure my problems of the last 4 months! I will not hold my breath though. Well, 2 days after this post, something happened!!! My internet has been great EVERY night As I've said before, my PING was the biggest problem, as I like a bit of online gaming on the PS3 but it always went through the roof every night after 7/8pm, making any online gaming impossible. Not now though. I think it's the best connection I've ever had and I'm once again a Black Ops beast I'm assuming I've been switched to ADSL2 but i've still had no email from Plusnet. Maybe I've not been switched over but others have so freeing up some bandwidth??? No idea but hope it stays like this Hope the rest of you get cured shortly!

tarrymittens Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 Have been experiencing problems with TalkTalk for over a month now despite reporting problem several times. Typical speed 0.13Mbps download, 0.36Mbps upload and ping rates all over the place. When BT completed their work on new line, speed increased to 2.87Mbps download for two days now it's back to 0.13 so they're obviously screwing around with something despite their claims it's not their fault.

petergear Posted December 28, 2012 Report Share Posted December 28, 2012 Yep tarrymittens, my experience as well. Was semi-reasonable for a peerie while, but it's just as bad again noo. I am also wi TalkTalk, as it happens... and have also been getting consistently better upload speeds than download speeds - what's that all about!
