I have been with cable NTL (Virgin) for 2 years. 2Mb and I get it 99% if the other end can send it. Anyone with a BT line that I know can't get even near Virgin. Free setup, free maintenance (never used). I did use support once to set up on 2nd PC. Well, you can't win them all, It worked.

In my experience, anybody who was with Plusnet and was unhappy, left a long time ago. Including me. They were a joke for several reasons.

Yep, that's what they do as standard practice in their physical stores too.

Just have a look at the pricing schemes in the epidemic of 'Tesco Express' stores popping up like boils.....

The first few weeks/months sees agreeable pricing, then - when they have the customer base they want [killing small local business as they go] the prices get hiked.

Ker-ching.

Not only do they suk at broadband but their website is a downright scam - advertising stuff REALLY cheap - as soon as the orders start flooding in they then change the prices!!!!!!!

only thing youll notice is an email telling you the newer price applies, Tesco suks overall!!!

another satisfied customer here - can't fault them

I have been a plusnet costumer for 6 years and it used to be good and i almost got 2meg when i first started but that was then now I am lucky to get 900kbps and the ping is poor and seeing it rated the highest on the day I had enough well it makes a good laught.

I thought 'Be' was doing pretty well these days? 

I'm a Pipex user and was thinking of changing because of the good things i heard about them.

4000 people is hardly representative of the uk now is it . 

Plusnet is part of BT . Pipex is part of Tiscali . AOL and TalkTalk are the same . Yet the services get rated differently . These surveys make me laugh .

Lies, damned lies and statistics as a wise man once said 

AT adds: And 1,500 is hardly representative of the entire UK population, but that's what broadcasters base their viewing figures on.
