    No. That is just Plusnet's stated policy.

    I have always used - http://www.speedtest.net/ to test my speeds.



    Just done this for you this morning:

    7:45am (free usage) - http://www.speedtest.net/result/478263960.png

    That from my laptop wireless

    I've just checked and I am getting 3.38 from the Plus Net system..
    I used to get 4.something in the MAAF days
    So it is looking like MAAF is to Plus Net as Waitrose used to be to MAAF.
    However before I decide on my future:

    Is anyone else getting really annoying periods of drop outs?. When I first joined MAAF if I got one drop out in 6 weeks I was worried, now I can have periods of 6 drop outs in 2 hours.

    I raised a ticket asking about a new 12 months deal as my current contract expires in 5 weeks or so. I am coming to the end of my thrid year with MAAF. I have the 5GB package and was offered the same as I am on now:

    £9.65 for 6 months
    £14.65 for 6 months

    Thinking of moving to the Post Office anyway as I need more GB and they have phone line and unlimited broadband for £26, sounds good to me as I'm paying more than that now !

    Just phoned the options team and was offered an upgrade to the 20GB (I average 4.5GB and could use more) for the same as I am paying now

    £9.65 for 6 months
    £14.65 for 6 months

    Or £7.31 to stick with my 5GB package.

    Interesting....................

    Said I was thinking of leaving unless they could offer me a good deal. I think it's a good offer.

    I was offered 12.99 for a year for 5GB on the thinkbroad forum, I thinks I may have to ring up.

    Or, if you don't want to pay their costs to 'phone, raise a "ticket" through your account to see what they will offer.
    The going rate for retention seems to be £7.31/month for 5GB as long as there is no LLU competition at your telephone exchange. Unfortunately where I live, there's not much chance of that. So limited to BT line and exchange equipment :cool:
