They also have a FTTP trial going on.

Nice if you can get it, although (upload aside) if FTTP gets people only just faster than VM's current 152mb tier I think they have little to worry about going forward!

Re: Plusnet are the king of fastest broadband in UK
Surely this is straightforward? All telfordcable needs to do is point us to the webpage for the service he is on so that we can see its availability and price.

Re: Plusnet are the king of fastest broadband in UK
Telford, while those screenshots do appear legit (guys, check the image source in your browsers, it is speedtest.net), it's worth remembering that Trials do not necessarily turn into a full service.

If they did, a lot of Virgin customers would have the option of 1.5GBps by now.

that's old news in 2011 and it now 2014 and I don't think virgin media will never bring out 1.5Gbps down with 150Mbps up. Never will. They probably stick with 152/12 for two more years!

Probably is legit but don't always trust speedtest.net. After having some weird results that said I was in a military data centre rather than with Sky, I did some tests found that you could make the speedtest site say you was anywhere by changing HTTP headers. The results for those graphics is stored as you being wherever you spoofed. I know it makes no sense but can reproduce it at will.

If someone really thinks they need faster than 50Mbits, they are probably the kind that should have a remote server downloading for them these days

So it's just a FTTH trial, nothing for us to get excited about.
