    wow your ping is low I guess speeds are lower due to quality of cable or most likely distance from cabinet

    I ordered just before xmas about a week before so in all around 2 weeks, phone is being changed on 17/1

    I'm well away from the cabinet. I count myself lucky to even have fibre.

    Bear in mind my normal broadband speed was 0.5mbps. Plus it kept dropping out. I'm delighted with what I've got from Plusnet :D

    Huge difference for you then. I had adsl 2 LLU and got around 12mbps (unlimited) should have got slightly more but probably down to internal wiring very few issues and I noticed so far wireless is slightly better given I paid a few years back £150 for a router plus extra aerials this router is built in aerial

    I was just about to hardwire the entire house - had all the kit bought - when Plusnet did their setup. I've got a load of wiring and connections lying unused in the garage now lol :o
