Hi seems to be mentioned alot in mags.............ok ! thx.......take care .....

I am on plusnet. Well happy. On the 21.99 pcm ADSL512 (ADSL Home package). All speed tests seem/appear as though I have a faster than 512 connection. Any problems encountered are short lived

The clincher for me was their customer support...they actually communicate both good and bad actions. Along with a mysql db, PHP, 250mb web, static IP, functionality to host own mail/smtp server made the whole package a great deal.

Stoo.

Sounds cool heard about their support ! ....cheeers !!

Hi again ....was the setup straight forward ?
Anyone could do ?

Setup is straight forward and the support is really good and they are open 24 hours a day.

My parents use Plusnet connect dial-up and they are very happy with it. The amount of features you get with it are truly amazing, including static IP's (on dial-up!), php/mysql/cgi webspace + free domain, and advanced mail handling.

Connection is very fast for dial-up too, and I assume that ADSL is of the same high standard. Highly recommended.

Just spotted this on ADSL Guide ...

http://www.plus.net/products/broadband_home.html

Base package - 4Gb capped - £31.99

Uncapped - £39.99

Seems great value compared to ntl's 1Mbit package

Hmm - that 1Mbit looks good at £23.99 - I never get near 1GB normally - nevermind 2GB.

that looks good. who's using plusnet then, are they good?
what's the minimum contract? I like to try before I buy

I use plusnet and i have found them to be excellent, speed is allways there and reliability is top notch, there online service status thing is rather quick and informative and when ever i've posted a question to them they've got back to me within a couple of hours (online postit like notes).
I've never had to call them with a problem and they even called me about 6 months ago (6months into contract i suppose) to see how everything was going and do a user satisfaction survey.

I must note i'm on there 2mbit service (homeworker thing its currently £65.99 a month reducing it would be nice)

I believe they offer 12 month and 1 month contracts with the latter being slightly more expensive

Almost forgot, if you do sign up use the referal 'damnthebroccoli' as it knocks money of my bill if you do :-) and yes the username is in tribute to family guy (stewie)

Ntl could take some tips from Plusnet. Their new packages just introduced has some simple and clever thinking behind them.

They have got a 2mb package for £31.99 with a 2gb per month cap. BUT you can get extra gb for £1.50 each - ok i guess. But here's the simple and clever bit for power users - pay £8 per month extra and have a totally uncapped service. So, £39.99 per month will get you a 2mb uncapped package.

Now Ntl may have thought they had a lead on the market by keeping up with Telewest, but suddenly they have fallen behind again. I guess whatever Ntl do will never be right for a percentage of users but surely they must realise that the broadband market is changing at a rapid pace - and they have to be clever to keep up with the pack.

Be careful Ntl, Dsl is snapping at your heels again - and you haven't implemented the last speed increases yet.
