According to......

Quite a turnaround, considering all the criticism they've received in this
group.

This was posted to PlusNet today..........
Some feed back
Yesterday my broadband service terminated with Plusnet and was taken
over by Sky.
I was connected and up and running within minutes.
OK the feed back for you at Plusnet is that I was astonished, gob
smacked at how fast the Sky service was compared to PlusNet and I have
complained frequently about how slow PlusNet was...almost a dial up
connection. You took no notice and did nothing. It was clear you
frequently throttled the service and your servers simply could not
keep up with the demand. Its a frequent theme appearing in magazines
and on web sites and in news groups. You constantly deny it but the
facts are obvious. You throttle customers connections.
So I ran some tests on the speed using a number of different sites/
methods incl Bt speed test and surprise surprise Sky was more than
twice as fast as my old PlusNet conection, and at the busiest time of
the day!!!.
Now this is the best bit. For that `half a service` you charged me
£21.99 a month and also slapped a 20 Gb download limit on me which
wasn`t there when you sold me the service originally.
Sky on the other hand is more than half your price, £10 a month and is
unlimited but subject to a fair usage policy. They dont specify a
limit and state they have more than enough capacity.
So in terms of speed and cost and usage Sky beats Plusnet hand down.
Number 1 ISP in the UK...dont make me laugh ;-))))))
Bye

I 2nd that, Plusnet for my mother was very poor hence I'd never recommend
their service ever again!!!
I moved her over to TalkTalk and they beat Plusnet for speed`s...
I`m a customer of Sky broadband also and get full 8mb here at £5 a month,
excellent service....

I think you know what I meant but judging on your past posts it's an easy
target...

Easy target indeed...judging by the name you post under, you clearly
have problems with capitalisation.
But although not ambiguous now, it might be so in another context.
Confusion of units can be very serious (e.g. the plane that was
refuelled in litres instead of gallons).

I notice that these only include customers who telephoned for support.
What about a general survey which any customer could be included?
