I think VM are now at risk from a ASA ruling.
Usually the ASA is leniant when the ruling would punish several isp's, but now we have gone from most people been on a shaped connection to really only talk talk and VM left. If talk talk follow suit I can forsee a joint complaint to the ASA from sky and BT about VM been unlimited with traffic management and the ASA may well uphold it.

They not using the same backhaul, its just owned by BT, and if you check craig's ping site most plusnet graphs are seeing some peaktime congesiton whilst BT ones are not. So from what I can see the higher priced BT services are meaning something. Plus plusnet are still classifying traffic on the network level, they just stating they dont expect it to ever kick in on prioritisation. They removed the hard throttles but still classify the traffic.
BT and sky dont classify traffic. (for new customers on BT).

With your last post Ferret, I think we have the first mutual agreement, even if in jest 
Plusnet fibre is still the best choice out of the other isp's for an average user who is not interested in a tv package imo. I can see a lot of casual users taking up TalkTalk fibre for the price but its not going to be as reliable. |
I agree plusnet will be tempting, especially as its a cheap way to get a proper static ip as well. Most FTTC isp's that offer static ip's are expensive.
