Which Broadband is the most Reliable and Fastest out of these 3 ISP's?

Maybe?

It could be poor LLU equipment, a loose copper pair, water dripping on to your distribution point or you were just unlucky enough to develop a fault at the time of the switch. That's ruling out there isn't any problems in your home environment.

If you're worried get a line test run by tech support. If there is a fault on outside of your home and it's not related to the LLU equipment you will carry it over to your next CP.

Isn't the LLU equipment is in my local exchange not in my home environment like you said?

As long as there is no fault conditions with either the line, the exchange equipment, or the router, then they should both as fast and reliable as each other.

This would be true if capacity in the ISP's links from their backhaul network and capacity in their links to the rest of the Internet were not also factors. Under-provisioning in either of those would cause slowdowns at peak times and would vary between ISPs sharing the same backhaul provision.

Yes but you also need to rule out problems within the home .

The question you keep asking is basically unanswerable a question of try PN or Sky .You could of course go to one of the more dedicated expensive suppliers .

In terms of reliability and speed.

Speed has nothing to do with the ISP: it's largely determined by distance from the exchange, and quality of the line. Neither of those factors are under the control of your ISP, nor do they vary if you switch.
Reliability should not vary, as it's the same local loop.
The primary difference between the two is that Sky is LLU and Plusnet is not.

Ok I am switching from Talktalk to PlusNet.


Does this require a engineer visit to my home?

No

I thought talktalk is llu and plusnet isn't so how the switch will happen without hardware changes if both of these ISP's use different hardware?

The 'hardware' inside your home does not change, apart from the router, which is self-install, if you are using Plusnet's.
LLU/non LLU is an exchange function, nothing is any different on the local loop.
But you will still be asked to provide access on the day in case there are any difficulties and the OR engineer needs to test the line. But normally the work is done at exchange and street cab without the need for a visit to the property.

Ok from talktalk to plusnet an engineer is still required to come to my local exchange to do something to the hardware there.


That means I should see a difference in reliability any maybe speed if engineer is doing something hardware wise at my local exchange right?

Not necessarily. The signal still comes through your phone line which of course remains the same. If the issues you have at the moment are because of your internal wiring, long distance to the exchange, or poor quality phone line, then you probably won't see much difference.
