Evidently.

No sign of higher latency despite congestion being apparently so high it was delivering sub-2Mb, then once it was mentioned latency mysteriously goes higher.
I have to wonder whether this guy was using QoS on a router and when that was pointed out moved to saturating the link as much as possible. That or a client side issue. Seems all too coincidental and the TBB graph doesn't really work for me, congestion isn't latency-less and on downstream only one minute then heavily affecting both directions and inducing high latency the next.
EDIT 2: The Plusnet TBB meter doesn't really work for me either. Big burst of latency for about half an hour starting at pretty much exactly 9pm which drops abruptly, like a download finishing, rather than ramping up and ramping down slowly as congestion comes and goes. That and Plusnet reporting zero other issues on the exchange. They will have other customers there, they have a 5% market share.
EDIT 3: I was evidently too trusting.

They offer me three months free of charge and removed 12 months contract. And they had admitted that it was high utilisation in my area and the fix could be within 3 months. They also asked me to ring back if there is no fix time as I have two option choices, leave or they could give me a further free of charge. They admitted that a staff shouldn't have upgraded me to 152Mb as a mistake because of problem ongoing with 152Mb in Telford area.
Oh well, at least I got three months free! |

Well, I give Plusnet one month from today to get it pushing with BTw to get it fixed! As I don't want this slow congestion speed every night in the week. As my virgin media cable is due to be disconnection next month April 10th.
